Gave a guy my number - advice and opinions wanted

Posted from TSR Mobile

Hi.

I went to a restaurant alone today for a nice chilled night. Wasn't in the mood to socialise. Anyway after the while 2 guys came and sat on a table near me. They talked about a film they were planning to see and other general things.

Anyway, when they finished eating and asked the waitress for the bill, I walked over to her, asked what time the restaurant's open until and asked her if she'd give one of the guys (the one with glasses) a note I'd written (telling him to enjoy his film, explaining I couldn't help but overhear and stating my mobile number, and with "Text me", a smiley face, my name and a kiss also written down too).

She gave it to him, he half read it aloud when she left, looked at me and asked what it was. I stated it was for him and explained that I'm kinda shy (I was too shocked to smile at him while saying this) before staring down at my food straight after which he thanked me before leaving with his friend. It was tense and he didn't smile. You could sense an atmosphere while they checked they had left enough money. I was slightly shaky but don't think it was noticeable to others.

Thoughts/opinions/advice please?

I can't really give any advice but I would like to thank you on behalf of all men for not being subtle about giving a guy your number

He may have not reacted welll due to having a girlfriend/boyfriend etc.

Wait a few days and if he doesn't speak to you, never mind - His loss.

YOLO - atleast you put yourself out there - not many would

Being serious, as a general rule, men can not get subtle hints, me included.

Thanks. They were talking about girls so it seemed like he's single but you never know. I've never done anything like that before but knew I'd regret it for ages after if I didn't do it. I'm guessing he thinks I'm desperate but oh well - if you never try you never know x

You didn't smile or make any eye contact?
I'd be a little disconcerted if I was in his position.

Yeah before writing the note I looked over a few times, he'd been looking over at me a couple of times too, and when speaking to him I looked at him too x

Hahaha :P x
IMO the delivery of the note, and its contents, were much too forward in the circumstances. It would not be reasonable to expect him to respond positively to a random note from a stranger with whom he had shared no talk or even one or two 'meaningful' glances.
Had I been him I think I would, after the initial surprise, have been looking for the presence of cameras indicating some sort of set-up.

Oh right. Thanks for the reply x

IMO it is quite risky to give your personal number to a stranger whose morals and trustworthiness you know nothing about. Unless it's a burner phone...

So you didn't smile because he wasn't looking too happy when he came over?
