Would you ask someone for their number if you knew nothing about them?

[Anonymous]

This happened to me with this guy at work. Never met him before. He asked what my name was and where I’m from, then asked if I am single and then asked for my number. He never asked about my hobbies or my interests. He obviously knows where I work. Other than that, he knows nothing about me. So why would he ask for my number if he knows nothing about me? I like to talk to the person face to face and get to know them before I give them my number and vice versa.

In those situations, I don't ask for a girl's number, I give her mine.

If I ask for it, that puts her on the spot to make an instant decision. That often makes a girl uncomfortable, which is the wrong start. If I give mine to her, she can think about it and know that if she contacts me, she will not be rejected.

Next time that happens and you aren't comfortable giving your's out, just say, "No, but you can give me yours if you want." That doesn't immediately reject him, and it puts you in control.

I would not ask for a woman's number unless I knew a significant amount about her. No reason to. Maybe ask if she is on social media to see the kinds of things she is into from her posts there. If I think there's much in common I would contact her there.

No, I wouldn't ask for their number if I knew nothing about them.

Maybe when applying for a job to a stranger probably.

He did nothing wrong. I would have done the same thing. Then I would have waited a week to call you and invited you to coffee at Starbucks. That's where I would ask you about your hobbies and interests. I wouldn't want to talk too much, because otherwise what's the point of meeting at Starbucks.

What do u mean

[MusicMayhem]

Yep, all the time. Because people are busy and don't have time to play 20 questions when you hit on them in the street. Plus asking questions doesn't build attraction; humour does and will get dates. That's when you can find out more.

[Finchie40]

Dont see anything wrong with it , he finds you attractive and wants tonget to know you , talking on the Phone, he will find out more about you of you choose to talk on the Phone

[Naim1234]

Nope, I won't ask for their number if I don't know them, unless needed. If I can meet that person face to face I won't ask for their number. I think you should ask this question to him. It won't be weird cause you don't know him.

[samad_cero]

People have weird ways to approach. He wants to know more about you and probably a text conversation is what he prefers more than a face to face one.

[blkgold33]

Only if I started a conversation with them and it went pretty good.

[boggboss]

Why would I ask for there number with no prior information that would be silly

[anddyyz]

Might be he was too early to do that, and also you might be sexy tho. He was very desperate to have you. And he thought the same if you can make out with him.

[Omar5881]

He will ask you later about your hobbies , maybe he thought the chances of him seeing you again is limited or it took up a lot of courage for him to come and ask you , just give him a chance.

[red_knight]

You guys could get to know each other over the phone n that could be from the comfort of ypur home. That would improve the quality of face yo face conversations

[Northern_star]

literally everyone was once a stranger to all of us besides family members.. he could simply be a friend, or a next boyfriend etc. who knows.

[IntuitiveMuffin]

Yea. Getting to know someone is what texting is for.

[newPython]

No that's not what texting is for. Texting and phoning are to make the date. You get to know someone during the date itself.

[IntuitiveMuffin]

Ok but what if I don't like the person. It's much easier to text them for a bit to see what's up and then go out.

[newPython]

That's what you find out when you are talking face to face. It's easy to misunderstand things via text. Because all you are seeing is the written word, without context, tone, or inflection.

[IntuitiveMuffin]

Yea but that's what emojis are for.😎

[Sixgun77]

Sure, that's how people used meet, until very recently.

[Cobourgfun]

My guess would be he's attracted to you and wants to get to know you

[heybooitsme]

Because he found you attractive

[watsons15]

Nope. Not anymore.

[MimiHashima]

Nope!

[Anonymous]

He just wants to sleep with you

[grantlee12]

Nope
