If a guy asks for your number and you give it to him, are you telling him you just want to be friends?

In my experience it usually means wanting to be more than friends, unless she says upfront that she isn't looking for a serious relationship.

[Asker]

Why would it mean more than friends?

[bowenw]

In my experience, guys usually ask for the number of girls they want to be more than friends with. If it's for some other reason, I think most guys would say so, or it would be obvious from the circumstances.

[Asker]

I see. So if a guy asks for your number and you give it to him, it is already assumed that he wants more than friendship?

[bowenw]

A lot depends on the circumstances, but generally yes in my opinion.

99% of the time if a guy is asking for ur number it's cuz he's interested in dating/sex.. most guys don't care to be friends with women

[Asker]

If I gave him the number and I said I want to be close, how would he interpret?

[sinestro23]

that u want to date..

[Asker]

How does I want to be close mean I want to date?

[sinestro23]

what other possible way is there for a man to take that statement...

[spartan55]

Where did you get that idea?

[Asker]

The Part of you just wants to be friends?

[spartan55]

No, no, no... no guy is going to ask for your number because he wants to be friends. Ever.

[spartan55]

He is thinking you are interested. Unless you clearly said it was just friends, which I'm sure didn't happen.

[laly520]

or you tell him directly the thing

[mrshooiser]

Not really.

[Asker]

Why?

[mrshooiser]

Well because giving someone your number gives a guy the wrong idea.

[Asker]

Even if you talked on Snapchat? He is not a total stranger

[mrshooiser]

As long as he knows your just staying friends.

[jahaims]

[LiamS95]

[Asker]

You're not really telling him anything other then that you want him to have your number to be able to contact you.
