Why would a girl keep a guys number after she rejected him?

[Anonymous]

After he moved on and stopped talking to her? Why would she check up on him and ask him if he's doing okay or say she hopes he's doing well?

Could be one of three reasons, 1) she's actually worried she hurt him by rejecting him and wants to make sure he's ok 2) she doesn't want to date him but still wants to continue being friends with him so she's trying to talk to him still 3) she doesn't want to date the guy but likes the attention he gives her

It depends on her personality really, but if you say the guy has moved on, I assume sometime has passed so it's more likely to be either 2 or 3

Either she’s really interested and is curious or she wants attention. Dude’s do it as well, but I’m guessing it’s for the same reasons.

I knew dudes do it as well, just seems odd that a girl would keep a dudes number after she rejected him and he moved on

Yeah she’s probably curious or wants attention.

She keeps it so when she is lonely or want attention she can text a guy that likes her for the validation. That’s it nothing else. I wouldn’t even answer if she texted me.
