If a guy messages you on social media and asks if your phone number is still the same, what does he really want?

He probably wants to call you. He probably would like to ask you out. If you're okay with that, go for it!

[Alex-Snow]

It sonds like he wants to stay in touch. Have u gone out with the guy? How well do u know him?

[WhitneySnow]

To ask you out or to hit on you

[Asker]

If I told him yes my number is still the same was that a bad considering I was just answering the question?

[WhitneySnow]

No. But be prepared for him to text you and do one of those things.

[Asker]

He definitely asked me out and now I'm wondering if it was a mistake to even respond to him

[WhitneySnow]

No not a mistake. Just tell him politely when he asks you out that you’re not interested.

[Asker]

Could I just ignore him?

[WhitneySnow]

You could, but better to at least answer

[Asker]

Shouldn't he take the hint that I'm not interested if I'm not responding?

[WhitneySnow]

He should, but ghosting people is never nice

[Asker]

It is really ghosting if we weren't really talking?

[WhitneySnow]

I guess not. You raise a good point.

ask him why
