Search Results: giving a guy my number

We were playing a video game yesterday and talking through voice chat. We played about 4 hours, he seemed talkative but mentioned he was nerdy and did not have success with the dating apps. He seemed nice and genuine, yesterday he asked for my phone number. I ended up giving my Instagram instead, he added me last night and I followed him back. But it’s almost 24 hours since we last spoke and he hasn’t reached out since. He seemed interested, was he just playing me?

Im starting back in 2020 a guy at my school saw me at cafeteria and asked me for my number however he asked me to write down my number in a letter because he left his cell phone to his bag I wrote down the number he never texted me. I thought he was an interesting guy. Covid happened we all went back home so I didn’t really bother why he never messaged me. This semester I was at cafeteria again but with my friend who also knows him, he said hi talk to me a little gave me his phone to enter in my number. He messaged me a Week Later.. but very shortly mostly asking about a class. He changed his mind to give me a book he promised. And that was it. We basically messaged a day only. When he said I am not giving the book I said that’s ok I understand he replied “ you are so sweet”. Well pretty much that’s all. He has never messaged me since then it’s been a week again. He is kinda younger than me maybe 4 years younger so I was wondering maybe that’s why he isn’t really interested in me.. I look young I’m told a lot even my voice is very soft maybe he didn’t knew.. at first!
What do your guys think was the poor guy just trying to be friendly? He is not a shy guy I know that he is not waiting for me to message first.
