How to not give a guy the wrong impression?

[Anonymous]

So I started college and I met this guy. We've been chatting and he gave me his number. I want to be his friend and I don't want him to think anything else.

I think it's one of those things where you'll just have to drop subtle hints. If you talk about other guys you are interested in, he'll get the hint that you aren't viewing him in that light if he's socially savvy

You already gave him the wrong impression.

But to numb it down, don't contact him through phone so soon. Just get to know him better through college.

I thought it would be fine to text each other since we have 3 classes together. But thanks

Dude, if a girl gives me her number and starts texting me often. I would most definitely take it the wrong way

I didn't give him my number out of nowhere, he gave me his and I sent him a text just so he could have mine. I mean having three classes with someone, of course you'll want their number, you could help one another.

Well, no matter I guess.

He'll soon understand
