Questions: Flirting

Me and my friends were at the club a couple nights ago. I walked off to talk to some people and when I came back my guy friend was talking to some girl. He introduced me to her and she immediately says "yeah you're friend's a freakin liar." So I asked her what happened. She said they were talking and that he lied about something really stupid and that she can't stand liars. I was like aww dude I'm sorry. So she kind of chewed him out a minute and walked away. Well I saw her a few minutes later and we started talking. She was like "You're awesome we should hang out. Let me give you my number." Well my guy friend found out I got it and has been calling me and texting me asking me to give it to him. I said "no dude, if she wanted you to have her number that she would have given it you. OR if she wanted me to give it to you she would have said something"

I had a friend give my number to a random guy that hit on me last year (and I was p*ssed as hell). If I want a guy to have my number then I will give it to him or signal you to do it. Either way, I think that if you plan on giving a random person my number that you should ask me first. I mean what if I don't like the person? Then you just put me in a weird unnecessary position.

So anyway, I told my friend that the next time I talked to her, that I would ask if its ok to give him her number. But that's it. I'm not going to give out someone's number without their consent. Its not cool.

Do you any of you stand people up? How do you feel about doing such a thing and what can you say to the person after the fact to let them know that it wasn't anything personal but you just pretty much changed your mind and didn't want to lead them on?

Don't bash me please :o) I actually feel pretty bad that I didn't handle this differently.
