Why would a girl tell a guy to save her number on his phone, yet the girl has no attention to call or text the guy ever?

A girl asked a guy for his number and calls him & tells him to save her number

It could be innocent. She kind of likes him and thinks he might have potential, so she puts him on the back burner: "in her phone." Or, it could be a way to shut him up after he asks her repeatedly to take his number or call him.

So, she does and hopes this will stop him from annoying her about it. Time passes, she never contacts him and he's wondering.

I don't think this tactic is used by women who are sincerely interested and have intentions of calling. I think mostly it's a feint.

It is a good sign that she wants him to have her number.

Many women do not like texting first, so he would have to contact her if he his interested.

Do you mean she then ignores his message and ghosts him? This would be unusual given that she wanted to exchange numbers.

In that case just write her first name like this:

Melanie 😅?

with her actual name, this exact emoji and the two signs. Write this at least a day after your first message that she ignored. This is an expert exception from the rule to never double-text.

This will provoke a response and usually an apology that she was awfully busy. At least you can text a bit. Maybe you can arrange another meeting and what more could we ask for?

This was not transmitted correctly. The magic formula is:

(First name) (grinning emoji with sweat drop) (question mark) (exclamation mark)

No other text should be added at this occasion.

I"d assume she's waiting on you to do so first, but everyone that's ever said "save my number" has reached out to me by the next day.

some girls like men asking for their numbers. it boost their ego. doesn't matter who the guy is even if he is a complete idiot so its basically for herself.

[genericname85]

purely for validation. feeding her ego. nothing more.

Seems like he's a backup... or just an acquaintance who might become handy someday..

Never heard of anyone doing this before.

People can and do change their minds.
