What does it mean when a girl gives you her number?

I find something mighty peculiar. When I really get along with a woman I have just met (ie before today, we were strangers, but on the day we meet we find common interest), I ask for her number.

I'm not shy about it...I just ask, and for some reason she always gives it to me. No woman has ever refused to give me her number, but I guess I never really ask for a number from a lady I don't hit it off with, so that might skew the data a bit.

Since I am not well-educated in female non-verbal communication, I need to be educated. What do you think...are these women interested in seeing where the acquaintanceship can go, or is it just common practice in womanhood to give total strangers their personal number?

Some women just don't want to be rude and bluntly say "no, you can't have my number", so they might give you a wrong number or give you a valid number but just never pick up or whatever.

And some women might actually be interested.

If, when you call the number, it's the girl and not the pizza store across the street from where she gave you the number, I'd say that's a good sign.

I've never been given a bum number, either. It's always her number.

Are you sure it's her number. Pal of mine was given a number to a funeral home once by a gal he met at church. But she had a history of doing that. She was always moaning about the fact that no would go out with her and that guys at church were such low quality.

Oh man, that happened to a friend of mine last summer. I think they have those hotlines in most major cities. He was mad but the look on his face was priceless.

I don't read too much into the phone number thing. To me, it means 'friends'. Girls give me their numbers without my asking... but I doubt it indicates romantic interest.

That's kind of what I figure. Some of those lame "Don Juan" sites seem to suggest, however, that it's an automatic ticket to set up a girl on a date.

That rejection hotline thing is a great tool for girls to use when a creepy guy is hitting on them!

Actually, it's just something stupid that one would use only under the following circumstances:

1) You don't have the guts to tell a guy the truth.
2) You have a thing against men and you want to screw with a poor guy's head.

BTW, I checked. She did not give me a rejection hotline number. It's a genuine #.

I mean, seriously, Keri, give the guys a break. When you say they're "creepy," you're passing judgement on them based on an arbitrary set of standards that you created. Do you tell us these standards? Probably not. You just "know" them. But unfortunately *not* all of us know them...we have to figure them out after countless hours of trial and error with females.

And then it's different for every woman. An approach that would work for one girl might be "creepy" for another. Keep in mind that we bear both the burden of pursuing a woman and being negatively judged for doing so. Would you really want to knock down someone's self-esteem like that by giving him false hope?

It'd be the same thing if I said, "When all the ugly fat girls with buck teeth fawn all over me, I give 'em the rejection hotline number. It works like a charm!"

I'm not trying to attack you here, but it's a differing perspective about the "creepy guy" attitude that deserves some answers.

I normally wouldn't give my number o someone who I had just meet, unless as you say we really hit it off... All of the guys who have asked me for my number have just been friends or developed into friends and nothing more!!! Well there is one where it may be something more but least said!!!!

I don't see why it is a big deal, call them up ask them to go for a coffee, build friendships!!!!
