    Give them the number of the Samaritans or AA. If the dipstick falls for that old con they're not worth your time.

    Im the guy who is always asking for the number, rarely happens that i get asked for mine! Its always handy having a new no. in your phone when you wake up next morning then you can decide in the cold light of day if its really worth persuing or not.On occasions Ive got wrong numbers, dosent bother me, but its always polite to ask for the number anyway even if you have no intention of ringing it.

    I hate when guys take my number then don't text. It's like, why ask for it in the first place?
    Although I also hate when they don't ask for a number at all & just leave.. Hard to know what the best way is ha


  • Registered Users Posts: 283 ✭✭validusername1


    I just say no if I don't wanna give my number.. There's no point giving it to someone & making them think you're interested if you're not

    I mean I just assumed she was gone back it's not like I was going to call her or anything...

    besides it was her; who asked to swap numbers I just wanted to swap spit for a bit. When I look back think of potential meal tickets n here I am, now; hank marvin... sometimes it just goes without saying.

    Kill them.

    It's quick, less awkward and you don't have to speak to them again.

    The obvious thing is surely to give your number but change one digit, that way if you ever see them again, can say oh no its not 7 its 6 or whatever, could be either persons fault then.

    I developed this tactic after one particularly bad experience with someone not getting the hint after i gave my real number. So a year later after said person finally got the hint i bump into them at college, straight away Im asked for my new number (assumed the reason i hadnt been in touch was due to a new phone) so i use my new tactic, switching one digit, left safe in the knowledge i wouldnt have to deal with all that again. Next thing i get a text 'lol you accidently gave me the wrong number, messed up one of the digits but lucky i had your number saved from last time so i knew the correct number to text!'

    When I was single (many moons ago now) I wouldn't give them MY number but I would ask them for theirs, "no - give me yours!" - making me look like I was sensible (and sober).

    The one guy I did call however I got stuck with, 14 years later...
    I wouldn't recommend it.

    That's a good way around alright. Demand their number instead and say you'll text in the morning before promptly deleting it when they leave your company. :pac:

    If i ever buy a van i'll have a professionally made 'hows my driving' sticker along with an 1850 number I buy off blueface or some crowd stuck on the back of it

    The 1850 number will be forwarded to my mobile

    You need an ould filler phrase in there like "going forward" or "with wholistic all encompassing (something) world-class seamlessly integrated solutions"

    To answer the OP, if shes hot and i want, then i give the number. If shes not and i'm not, then i mix up a few digits. Problem solved!

    If somebody wanted my phone number but I didn't want them to have it, I'd have absolutely no issue saying no.
