Why would a guy who asked for my number give me a fake number in return?

• He asked your number to be polite.
• He was drunk and didn’t realize.
• He didn’t think you’d give him your real number either.

He may have been too drunk to remember his own phone number.

[Anpernam]

He texted me on it but it's not his real number

[bowenw]

He may have a second phone that he keeps secret from his wife/girlfriend.

Perhaps it was a mistake.

[Anpernam]

no he txted me on it but it's not his real number its from tnose apps with fake numbers

[es20490446e]

I lack context.

[Anpernam]

So he approached me, talked, asked for my number, texted me it was nice to meet me but found out the number is not his real one. It's a fake/dummy number. Why did he do that?

[es20490446e]

Most likely answer: he wants to cease contact whenever he wants to.

But better to ask.

[Fireguy17]

He's a putz, find someone better.

He isn’t that interested in you

[RHK36]

Dunno, just move on

[BarryLiverstone]

He doesn’t trust you
