The positive, hoping-in-homo-humanity idea: maybe they're just fucking careless and they lost it? Hopefully...Or, they're just hoping to get in your pants tonight and when it doesn't happen, *delete*. May 23, 2008 11:43 PM

hmmm Ive never had this problem, I don't ever give out my number. But I think The Fabulous One is right, they ask hoping that you will take them home that night, its kind of a foot in the door kinda thing. May 24, 2008 10:33 AM

I hadn't considered the ploy of hoping it's a "tonight" kind of thing. That's an optimistic thought. When single I never liked giving my number out because I am too much of a control freak and don't like the idea of random calls from strangers I met when drunk. My guestimate of why this happens in singledom is based more on straight guys doing the same to my women friends - the number TAKER is just not that into the number GIVER, and it's a simple way for the TAKER to feign interest and to ultimately give the brush off without seeming like a jerk. It's like instant gratification for the GIVER but never amounts to much. Oddly, I'm curious why the GIVERs of the world continue to place expectations on the TAKERS ever calling? Why don't the GIVERS ask for the TAKERS' number as well? May 24, 2008 11:34 AM

I'm going to be a bandwagon person and agree with both The Fabulous One and NPBPB. Though, I think NPBPB's contained a few too many caps... May 24, 2008 1:51 PM

I always assumed it was because people like me exist in the world: the majority of the guys who ask for my number are not at all attractive to me, physically or otherwise, so I give them a wrong number. I'll probably never see them again and I won't IMMEDIATELY seem like an asshole. It usually works. May 24, 2008 5:05 PM

Guys give me their numbers. I don't want them b/c I get so caught up in the rules of when I should or should not call that I end up not calling at all. I'm just so nervous that I'll be calling at the wrong time so I won't. So what do I do instead? I text. :-P May 26, 2008 1:54 AM

More often than not I've found that when I get a number when I'm out I'm usually pretty drunk. Therefore once I recover the next day I either 1.) Have no idea who this person is that I met or 2.) Realize "My god, was I really talking to HIM?! "So in the end I don't end up calling the numbers I come back with after a night of debauchery (sometimes, in rare cases, I do). I then just assume if I have given out my number (and remember giving it out) and don't receive a call, then they had the same reaction. Just my 2 cents on this issue... May 26, 2008 7:31 AM

More importantly why do some guys FORCE their number on you when you're clearly not interested, and then you're bored one day so you figure you might as well text them and never hear from back from them? May 26, 2008 11:33 PM
