"I am cautious about giving out my phone #"


Recommended Posts

Met this woman at a Meetup event (mostly singles), she was rather new to the Meetup scene altogether, we talked a bit on and off through out the evening.

 

Well, I was about head out the door and asked if I could get her #.

 

She said, "I'm very cautious about giving out my number, but it was nice meeting you and I'm sure I'll be seeing you at other events"

 

She's also a member of 3 or 4 other "Singles" themed Meetup events, so it's obvious she's on the prowl I suppose. lol

 

Since she's brand spankin' new, doesn't know a soul and is trying to get toknow new people

 

Think she legitimately needs to "acclimate" herself to the environment before she can consider giving out her #?

Just smile and ignore her unless your paths naturally collide. Don't be sour just because she may be passive aggressively turning you down, that could just be in your head, but I'm sure she would've given you her number if she was REALLY into you..

 

She wouldn't pass up the opportunity, because even giving a number doesn't mean that she's freaking going to marry you, unless she certainly doesn't want to give you the wrong impression.

 

Now, if I was you, and down the line she actually DID seem interested, I'd find it odd, and I'd probably explain why if she probed.

Since cell phones are harder to attach to an address, giving out a # actually has less risk these days. It may just be a "polite" albiet odd brush off. It might be a legit fear. Some people just move more slowly. Say hello next time you see her. If she warms up, ask again. Otherwise assume she's not interested.

I think she was trying to politely turn you down. I think you should focus on other people even if she's at future meetups with you.

Yeah, I'll have to go with that, she's brand spanking new to Meetup in general and knows nobody , so there's some probably lingering "stranger danger" there.

Wow, that's some delusion right there.

 

You ask for opinions and people tell you straight up she just wasn't interested in you and was politely refusing to give you her number (which was 100% the case man...I'm sure of it) yet you are still clinging to this idea that she is afraid of "strangers?"

 

Go get her tiger.

irc:

What happened to the woman you were dating from the Meetup groups last weekend? I think I am behind on your dating adventures.

Grumps

 

p.s. maybe she was legitimately trying to be polite but wasn't interested.

Either that or she doesn't want to give you her number so felt that was a polite way to avoid it.

 

It most likely is the latter, as unless a woman is genuinely extremely paranoid, if she is really into you and wants to more than "see you around", she will give you her number.

IRC. I have had women refuse to give me their number end up calling me when I hadn't given them my number. (So how did they get it?).

 

 

Don't sweat a woman rejecting you. Just next her, do you and find someone who enthusiastically wants you. You deserve that.
