I gave her my number - never called, but mentions she will "someday"

[The_Mango]

I'm new at doing this, but wanted to try something new. Instead of getting her number I decided why don't I give her my number. I gave it her, she never called. I saw her again by accident and without mentioning it she asked to get my number and that she had forgotten or lost it. Said she was sorry. I gave her my number again, and after that I haven't seen her or heard from her.

A month later I see her and she says "oh my gosh I will text you one of these days" and begins apologizing. At this point I really just don't care, so why is she saying and apologizing if she doesn't want to call me. it's getting kinda awkward anytime I'm around and she immediately apologizes and I tell her its fine or it doesn't matter.

What's the deal and what's going on? I've lost interest a long while ago and moved on so its just awkward now.

Damn, that was your golden chance to get her number instead!

You can't rely on a woman to take charge and contact you. You shouldn't give your number out anymore. ( unless you're exchanging numbers ) I learned this lesson too. You always want to get the number, so the ball is in your court in terms of contacting her and asking her out.

Waiting around for something that is unlikely to happen is the worst. Now, I'm not saying a girl/woman won't ever make contact, but she has to be really interested and she needs to be that 'type'.

Girls never call you when they just have your number!! and if she was very interested she would have maybe called you or give you her number originally. You should have said to her no worries, I already have enough girls to contend with and wouldn't have time for you anyway. Kind of like what she has done with you.

I disagree with the above poster. Nowadays it is no big deal and very low risk for the girl to text the guy, if she is interested. Here is my take in BOLD

I'm new at doing this, but wanted to try something new. Instead of getting her number I decided why don't I give her my number. I gave it her, she never called.Low interest/no interest I saw her again by accident and without mentioning it she asked to get my number and that she had forgotten or lost it.She didn't lose it or forget it. If she was interested , you would have got a text from her Said she was sorry. I gave her my number again, and after that I haven't seen her or heard from her.Again, she is trying to avoid an uncomfortable sitch by asking for the number, but as before....she hasn't used it. Twice now

A month later I see her and she says "oh my gosh I will text you one of these days" and begins apologizing. At this point I really just don't care, so why is she saying and apologizing if she doesn't want to call me. it's getting kinda awkward anytime I'm around and she immediately apologizes and I tell her its fine or it doesn't matter. Maybe she thinks she is SOOO in demand and that you are waiting around for it.

Forget about it, no harm done. You offered your number, she took it out of politeness, but had no interest. Who knows why? She doesn't find you attractive, you are not her type, etc. Not every woman will be interested. Doesn't matter why, really. Just accept that it is. Put yourself in her shoes. If a woman came up to you out of the blue, offered her number...........but you had no interest, you would probably behave the exact same way. Don't take it personally. Next time you see her, and she is gushing about it, just say "No biggie. I am seeing someone now" If she has ANY interest at all, THAT will prompt her to pursue. If not, oh well.

That "someday" will never occur. And if it does, it's on her terms, most likely to friendzone you. Because your princess is in another castle.

Get a girl's number and call her. A woman won't make the first move unless she's REALLY INTO YOU. Women collect #'s from men all the time. These numbers hardly ever get called. Because these men are called orbiters.

Giving a girl your number in the hopes she'll call you? Beta crapshoot dude. You have better odds predicting who's going to the Super Bowl this year. That's my verdict.

Case closed. Grow some balls.
