I have a question for the guys

<p>Why do guys who are not single or guys who seem to not seriously like the girl ask for a number, and then not call? Does it make them feel good or something if they get a number? There's a couple of guys at my school who are some serious players and are known to get with a lotta girls friday night after the football games lol and one of those guys (senior) asked my friend (junior) for her number randomly one day (he never talked to her before, never showed interest) and another girl got super mad when my friend gave him the number .. but it's not like he called her or talked to her ever again after that. He just got the number, and that was it, he didnt talk to her again. WHY do guys do that .. is it just an ego booster or something/</p>

<p>The reason you get the number is just to see if you can pull it off. The reason we dont call is b/c a lot of the time we simply forget while we're hanging with other ppl and then after we remember we feel bad about not calling when we said we would and instead of explaining ourselves we're just like screw it. So basically its nothing against girls its just we forget.</p>

<p>oh yea and sometimes we get the number then find out the girl is kind of hard to get or something and its just not worth the time when we have other easier options</p>

<p>i dont ask for numbers but then again there is a certain girl who would kill me if i asked another girl.</p>

<p>I consider guys genuinely interested only if they give me their number rather than ask for mine. Plus, it makes things ten times easier for me if I'm not interested.</p>

<p>nice answers thanks for the explanations. "see if they can pull it off" .. so basically an ego thing, kinda like "we can't stop and ask for help cuz i can read this map" . . and you spend so many extra minutes driving around cuz some guys insist they can find the place with no help when you could have saved some time if he just let you ask someone lol</p>

<p>why would she kill you ryan? i hate when guys let the girls take ownership. like there's this couple at my school and they are seriously too attached. when the girl goes to the bathroom, he waits outside holding her purse. and he's a real friendly guy, but when he starts talking to me or any of my other female lab partners, the girl is like "stop talkin to them" and he stops. And he's taking all of these super hard classes even though he's not that smart just cuz she is . . and when they leave class, she pulls him to the door, takes his hand, and leads him through all the people in the hall. when she wants a drink of water, she stops and he stops with her, still holding hands. at first it was kinda cute but now its like "dude u really need to get a life". no person should be too clingy or too subservient, guy or girl..</p>

<p>wow blue spectra, thats intense!</p>

<p>quite intense indeed</p>

<p>Ewww, I hate those relationships (Blue_spectra). I also, for the most part, think high school relationships are dumb and unrealistic. Yes, I'm a complete hypocrit (well, now my guy is in college, so, I suppose not). I just don't like a guy who lets a girl tell him how to dress, who to talk to, what to do - and he follows it. A girl telling a guy he likes that type of shirt (when he puts it on), or suggests doing something - that's fine. Demanding isn't. Nor do I think it's right for a guy to demand something from a girl. Equality, people.</p>

<p>These talk of girlfriends and whatnot reminds me of one of my favorite Mitch Hedburg-isms:
"I don't have a girlfriend, I just know a girl who would be really upset if she heard me say that."</p>

<p>The truth is, if the guy likes the girl, he is either afriad to call her (has bad phone game) or he is waiting a couple days before calling. </p>

<p>There are times when guys just forget which is the case alot of times for me, but then thats because you dont really like the girl like that.</p>

<p>yea... i refuse to hold hands with a girl im actually going out with at school... before we go out i do it just to be cute but afterwards its just not going to happen and i once had a girl who told me that told me what girls i couldnt talk to and who i couldnt "do stuff" with ... and that was before we went out. I basically listened to her for a couple of weeks and then my guy friends talked me out of it</p>

<p>Those of us at my school that want to be very successful and go to Ivy League schools (not that anyone from my school really gets in often) don't date yet.</p>

<p>Most people at my school date...even the smartest of the bunch. They rarely hold hands in the hallways or anything though. Sometimes you can't even tell who is going out with whom. Very strange.</p>

<p>At my school, the smartest seem non-sexual...except...I found out yesterday (by eavesdropping) that one of my friends (a girl) is in love with one of my other friends (a boy), so this was an immense revelation, because at my school, I guess smart people don't have the courage to ask each other out.</p>
