Do you get nervous when asked for your number?

[Rodismus]

I just spent like 20 minutes talking to a new girl at the grocery store last night. We were geeking out about craft beer the whole time and I found that very attractive about her so I asked for her number. She smiled and said yes!

Why I'm asking, her hands started shaking while she was writing down her number. She had a really big grin after that so I don't think it's a bad thing.

Yes

No

[Cynicaldreamer]

You damn right I do!
Mostly the whole, "Will he really call or text me, or is he just one of those guys that claims he wants your number but never contacts you after getting it?"

... that and we hope said guy isn't some psycho or stalker and we regret doing so later, lol. Nowadays there are so many creeps out there I'm just wary giving out anything personal: online or in person, unless I know the person well enough beforehand.

[Rodismus]

Oh never calling or texting is all me, I am very guilty of getting anxious and bitching out.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Please don't be that guy. You're the reason most girls are anxious about giving our numbers out 😂

No, but seriously, don't stress over. Start with an ice breaker, make sure she remembers you (I'm the guy from the store earlier!) and go from there

How do you feel about a guy giving you his number? My best friend who In the past, had a gift of gab, when he was single would often give his number to the girl. I’m sure not all text him but many did. I do think it’s a good way to know of her interest. I don’t think a girl texts a guy unless she’s quite interested whereas girls can text a guy back after his initial text but it being polite or she may be semi interested.

[Cynicaldreamer]

I get nervous too!
But let me tell you a little story: last year one of my coworkers gave me his number and told me to contact him.

I was like, "okay, I need a reason to text him so I don't seem weird or desperate..." 😂

But I DID text him first! He was shocked but happy. I guess everyone is anxious calling or texting someone that first time. But once you do, it's not bad at all

[brennanhuff]

well, you were quite interested to do that. I don't think you'd have texted him if you weren't or were only semi interested. That's the benefit I see with giving your number to a girl instead. Sure it's tough for girls to do that and I know guys are the one's to initiate. But the guy still kind of did that if he invites or asks a girl if she wants to go out somewhere some time. A girl may not text if she gets a guy's number. But I feel when a girl does, it's most likely a better sign of interest than her giving a guy her number, and she texts back his initial text. A lot of times girls I think may text back to be nice or maybe haver some interest but maybe not that much. Often, I think many girls are also talking to other guys too. So in my opinion, considering that, if a guy gives his number to a girl and she does text him. I feel it means she put you ahead of the other guys to even do that. Just my two cents, but I do feel that

The problem is it just sounds like she's desperate for a date because your the first guy to ask her her number. I don't believe in handing out my number to complete strangers.

[brennanhuff]

You should give your number instead sometime, you asked them out but it can make them more comfortable getting your number. Plus the ball is in her court and girls can flake out but if she texts you, it’s definitely a bigger sign of her interest, than a girl responding to your initial text and may just be polite or semi interested

[Fromdusktilldawn]

I would be like "Whats going on here? This is not really happening right now, is it? Is this prank set up by some bullies?"

[mysoulmate2019]

I think that some people are just really shy. Like me for example, I dont mind it you phone me just to make sure it's the right number because sometimes I get really nervous and forget or say something else.

[TsundereMatrix]

Yes. A customer at my work asked me for my number but he didn’t look like he was my type so I hesitated but he insisted so I did. I’ve texted him back a few times but I think he just wants to hook up so I’m ignoring him.

[Wolframium]

Here is an idea: be honest with him.
You save your time. And his.

[TsundereMatrix]

Yeah actually I told him I’m not ready for any of that but he still calls me and asks what my address is

[Hannah591]

Yeah, I do a little bit. I prefer it if a guy gives me his number though, not ask me for mine.

[Hurlyburly]

Never got asked for mine but I guess it would make me feel nervous too, at least if I wasn't in a relationship already.

[pxthological]

I give my number out whenever, because I can change it. I rarely ever give out my social media though

[Hannah_98]

I've never been asked for it lol. I'd probably be super nervous too, though

[MrMansonsPocketPssy]

Bold of you to assume I get asked for my number

[Justcallmealy]

Yes, I don't like that. I don't like being hit on in general anyway...

[Effie91]

I am careful who I give my number I had to. My ex girlfriend gave my number to other women they call me asking for her after I broke up with her.

[Ioso29640]

It's so rare that I'm just happy that she wants it.

[Lance1965]

Nope. They either call or they don't. Not a big deal.

[Vegeta01]

I only give my number to males and vice versa. There is zero nervousness involved.

[Anonymous]

No, the last time someone asked for my number I was like 24

[Anonymous]

I was about to start hating cus I thought she asked for your number

[Puppylover_129]

No, but I'm not just gonna pass it out to anyone.

[RachelThorpe]

Yes it is common among girls.

[dy8alexUk]

Why should any one I am single have my address to

[Rubified94]

I don't usually get nervous.

[Anon-ymous1]

A bit, yeah. I don't usually know how to respond.

[clampfan101]

I haven’t had the guts to ask yet.
