Posted: 9/22/2009 7:42:11 AM | This is something has baffled me for ages ( and many other women I'm sure).
What is it about guys asking or your number and then they never call you OR they ask for it when they have no intention of calling anyway?
Is this some sort of game they guys like to play ( see how many nmbers you can collect in night) or is it just out of sympathy ( you look lonely so I'll ask for your number to make your day).
If they have no intention of calling ( assuming they haven't lost your number), why ask for your digits in the first place? | |

Sometimes a guy just wants to feel that he can create enough interest in someone to get a phone number. He doesn't want anything more than that. Some guys feel that phone numbers validate them as an attractive man.
Personally, they just slow down my BlackBerry... ;)
vvvv
Same reason why a woman would give out her phone number then never answer the call.

I've never asked for a number not intending to call so I have no idea what that is about. Some guys struggle with the "when, what to say, and how soon to call" thing. | |

It is a cousin to "Let's be friends" when you break up.
Let's be friends doesnt mean he wants to be friends with you.. it really means:
Let's please have this breakup be WITHOUT a psycho-meltdown scene where you get angry, stalk me with endless crying/sobbing phone calls, key my car, stalk my house trying to mess with the new girl I'm already seeing, or any other of those things in that Carrie Underwood song.
Rent "He's just not that into you" There is a classic explanation/scene of a guy asking for a number, then giving the girl HIS card after first saying.. I'll call you, but after the mutual card exchange he says.. Here's my card, let's get in touch and SHE tried to clarify who is going to call whom.
Hilarious
Put your big girl panties on and just deal with it. Oh, and if there is NO call within 2 days AFTER you give your number.. He just wasnt that interested. Same goes with calls after 9 at night.. he is placing you into "potential bootycall" category. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 9:15:52 AM | | They keep you on the backburner so if their first plan with someone else doesn't fall through, they can always call you. And, of course, for the occasional booty call. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 9:23:10 AM | | It's most likely because they just lost interest. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 9:34:28 AM | actually i think they use it as wall paper.
they bathroom needs redecorating...
so they put the phone numbers and different colour of post it notes.
off they go to put it on the bathroom wall.
now they dont need a news paper or a book to read on the toilet they can look at the phone numbers | |

Because after the booze wore off they realize they're not interested in you.

Posted: 9/22/2009 10:29:41 AM | | Maybe they changed their mind... or maybe they just like the challenge of getting numbers | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 10:46:06 AM | OP so many reasons.
Here are some,
Back burner girl
Booze wore off
Girlfriend found it and flushed it.
Ego.
Myself I dont' even give it another thought since when a guy asks for my number I turn it around and ask for his. If I am really interested I will hand him my Cell and have him program it in. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 11:33:52 AM | | I don't know, why do girls give out their number when they have no intention of answering/returning phone calls? It's a two way street. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 12:00:17 PM | I think ego is gonna be your winning answer. Lots of guys do it just to see if they "still got game."
I'll have to admit after I got dumped last time I did it. I wasn't ready for a relationship but I had to bring my self confidence back up. Asking for a number does that. It helps tell you if your still marketable or not.
Its the man equivalent of primping, going out and seeing how many guys you can get to check you out.
It isn't the nicest thing to do, but both sexes play the game. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 12:00:31 PM | Think of it this way: he wants to have an option of calling you.
Think of it this way: he wants to know if you liked him enough to give him your number.
Don't think of it as a promise to call you. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 12:08:21 PM | These are the guys serving their own needs regardless of feelings and impact.
I admit having options sounds nice and interesting but myself if I ask for a number it's because I intend to call her, hear her voice, and the initial intention was to meet in the first place. Anyone calling that idealistic it's your opinion, respect is still valued but there are those caught in the pattern of getting involved with users and losers. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 12:23:54 PM | Yes. It's a game we play to frustrate all women participants. It's our way of thatnking you for all the unanswered e-mails we've sent you!
Seriously, I can't imagine asking for a lady's number if I did not intend on calling her.
If it happened, just write the guy-off and move on.
Maybe you should be more careful about giving you # out to folks on this site anyway.
I know I've lived to regret it!!!!!! | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 12:27:45 PM | | I wont ask unless I will use it. I have asked for numbers plenty of times where I never got a returned call however. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 1:05:26 PM | | because at that point in time they probably want to hang out with you again but peoples lives change constantly! | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 1:07:40 PM | Funny, cause I see more women doing this to men. This usually is just a social gesture when your out. Just something to do to help the ego.
It means, "Hey i wanna to know if you would let me have your number, you did and now my ego is sustained but (I'm not that into you) enough to call you. | |

Posted: 9/22/2009 1:10:24 PM | you know, it's baffled me too....but about women throughout the years saying....'let's get together:", and then they hide.
I think it's just a nicety, and we read too much into it all at times.
Sortof like when someone sees you at the store and says...."How are You?
Do you think they really want to hear every detail about how your life is really going? 
nahhh.....people want the cliffs note version....."Im great, and YOU? ME? Fcukn' great"..see..there's a conversation right there. !
today, since everyone has a phone glued to the end of their hand, it might seem pretty normal to say..."Hey, let me punch your number in, and I'll call you sometime."
Soooo.....instead of being baffled about who doesn't call....
Pay attention to those who do call and do keep in touch with you
That's where the real stuff lives
