It can't be bad, and really where you take it from there determines how good it is.

A guy (a decent average guy, not a jerk), when asked for a number, would never refuse because that would be really mean. The way you find out if he was being polite or otherwise is if after the first couple of texts/calls, if the guy HIMSELF calls or texts, it's 'good', as you say.
Hope that helps :smile:

Just check it isn't the radio 1 flirt divert number.

I'd say you can only really count on it being politeness, but thats not to say they dont like you. Text them, if they text back then thats probably a good sign.

yeah and most unshallow guys will at least talk back once youve got their number, maybe even meet up with you aswell. Cos after meeting they may like u more.

Heheh yeah, if they've given you a dud number then you should take it as a fairly big hint. :p:

But if they happily gave you their *real* number then they obviously don't dislike you.... or perhaps you are really scary and intimidating and they felt they had to give it to you if they wanted to keep their legs intact...

It could be out of politeness, if they aren't a jerk but if they text you afterwards then they may like you. x

What a stupid post

And everyone else talking about being shallow, get a grip. If you aren't attracted to someone there is nothing to be gained by swapping numbers with them. It's not shallow, it's honest, and is a risk you take if you ask somebody for their number, whichever way around it is.

...And they give it you, is that good? Or could they just be giving it you to be polite?...x

Neither good nor bad. If a girl asked me for my number I'd give it regardless of whether I liked her or not. Although I might add in an extra 7 somewhere if I really didn't know/like her at all.

To be honest, you should probably just get a mobile...

It'd be pretty rude not to give the number, unless you were a complete stranger to the guy.

Def agree! If I gave a girl my number, it means a good thing. But some guys are sluts :wink: and give it to just anyone.

I always get asked for my number by random girls - but I just reply with "Sorry I can't give you it as I've got a girlfriend". Now that statement is not true but I'd rather not give my number out to 'strangers', unless they were fit of course.
