I gave this guy my number and he texts me two weeks later?

[Anonymous]

We talk than he asks what made me want to give him my number, I said I felt like it would be bette to get to know each other better this way, bc we work at the same job but hardly get to see each other and people like to get into our business so I thought it would be better so he replied back and said soo I’m lucky? You like me? Why would he ask such thing

That's odd that he waited two weeks to text you! I would definitely be wondering what took him so long.

As for his question about why you gave him your number - yikes, that comes across kind of conceited! Like why does he automatically assume you like him just because you exchanged contact info? Rolled my eyes just thinking about it.

To me, it seems like you gave him your number as more of a friendly, casual "get to know each other" type of thing since you work together. Not necessarily because you were asking him out or anything. So his response seems presumptuous to me.

I'd probably just brush it off and change the subject if it was me. Maybe say something like "I thought it would make coordinating shifts easier, that's all!" And then ask him about his weekend or something to divert attention elsewhere. No need to stroke his ego by overexplaining yourself.

If he keeps insinuating you "like" him after that, I'd be a bit wary of his intentions. Proceed with caution getting to know this guy and watch out for any self-centered behavior! With his slow reply and weird question, I'd be skeptical of his motives for sure.

Sounds like he wants me to like him?

Yeah girl, it really does seem like he's trying to get you to admit you like him before he reveals his own feelings. Guys can be sneaky like that sometimes!

Like he waited so long to text, then tries to get you to say if you think he's "lucky" or if you like him? Total ego move. He wants the validation of knowing you're interested without having to put himself out there first. Not cool on his part!

I'd call him out subtlety. Like if he asks something trying to make you confess again, just laugh it off and say "woah there, don't you be fishing for compliments now!". Or calmly say something like "let's just get to know each other better before putting labels on things."

Stand your ground - don't give in to his little games. Let HIM do the chasing for once! If he's really feeling you, he'll show it with his actions, not just words. Keep hanging out but don't overthink things. You do you gurrrl! 💅 He'll either step up or show his true colors.

Because he wants to know if you like him? Why else would he ask?

Well it’s very direct question, he wants to know if you like him. No need to beat around the bush about it.
