Was this girl really interested in me?
Dude, she sounds like an egomaniac if she said THAT. You wouldn't wanna date someone like that anyway.
Yep, she sounds pretty full of herself.

It's hard to say, without having witnessed the exchange between you and the girls, whether they were making fun of you or were genuinely interested. Then again it would have been hard to say if I had seen the exchange.
I think, from calling you "sexy" right away, that level of intimacy is a) superficial and b) not normal after a few seconds.
For your mother to spend all of two hours ranting at you for this is absolutely ridiculous.
I am hoping to study psychology in a few months at university, and I went on a day trip to the university I want to go to to take a look around, and get a feeling of the place. It was a special day because all the universities in the country had sent representitives to this university, as a way of promoting their own courses, and therefore, there were loads of A Level students looking for advice. A nice looking, dark haired girl approached me towards the end of the day, as I was standing alone by the Electronics building, and started to chat, asking me what subjects I was studying. I replied and tried to make conversation by asking her what she was studying. She then said to me "I know this is embarrassing, but can I have your number?" I was immediately suspicious because, for years I have considered myself an unattractive geek who will certainly not get girls based on looks (I wear glasses, wollen jumpers over collared shirts, jeans and I don't gell my hair). I peered at her over my glasses and replied "I don't give out my number to strangers", at which point her friend came over as well.
Oh man, that really sucks. It seems like she was really interested in you and gave you a wide window of opportunity, something few of us get. You know, I understand why you reacted the way you did, I would be suspicious of a prank as well, but when a girl asks for YOUR number, I think it is a pretty good indication that she likes you. Well better luck next time, man, sorry to hear this one slipped away.
Actually, no, she still might be available, if you know who she is and where to find her. Just say "You know, I'm sorry about last time, I just didn't know you well enough. However, I would be very interested in getting to know you better, would you like to hang out sometime?". And you give her your number. Hope you give my suggestion a go, good luck

That's just it! I don't know where to find her. I'm going to have to wait until someone else comes along ....... which could be months. ![]()
I'm not saying you're feminine, but girls are usually on the BS about not gioving their numbers out to strangers. you should have thought a 3rd time and gave it to her. You'll see her again, and dont ask her for her number, just give her yours, then while you're handing it ask her for her number. I'm no dating expert, but i have a feeling she was interested in u ![]()
^^^
is right, if you come across her again, play it cool, be mister cool, and slip her your phone number, and be on your way, you dont even have to fake the antisocialness required to act "hard to get" ;]
its cus of situations like that, that i have conciously decided to be a lot more "jolly" and "flirty" with girls. if they openly flirt with me, be it a joke or not, i will be playfully flirty back. "put on the charm"
it doesnt hurt you to try
sounds like you let something gooooood go

That would have confused the hell out of me, too.
But I would probably have given her some contact details to see what developed ... without getting my hopes up. (I said contact details, because I really hate phones and prefer other means of contact).
Don't ever presume to know how others see you ... you are often your own worst critic ... it took me decades to realise that and it held me back no end. Let others accept you as they find you. Many women aren't into good looks in prospective partners ... they are often attracted to people for other reasons. Remember the song: "Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street ......... "

Not even a the biggest facepalm in the earth would ever express, how....plain out said stupid that was of you : /
Ok, fact is YOU think you are not attractive and etc.
God knows, but if she asked for your number, tell me, would you die from giving it to her?: /
It's not like it's the end of the world.
Thou i DO understand what you mean, having no confidence in yourself, and all of a sudden a good looking girls comes up, of course, one is bound to be suspicious, but you could still have given your number and see where it all leads to.
The only thing i find abit off (might just be me), is that they consider them selfs sexy and ask not even to sexy ones? I dont know why, but to me thats the only part, thats off, it looks like shes going "Oh com'on, i'm sexy, you cant refuse me geek"
Either way, my advice, take the numbers next time, it whont kill you
EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET ME NO-ONE EVER LIKES ME STRANGERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED WE ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE.
If its any consolation thats why I post sparingly. They obviously(one of them at least) were showing some mild interest. However, I think it might be the second friend that was interested in him. I think the first friend was the mediator who probably was good at organizing/handling situations like that for the friend.
Plus, half the time you seem to post my thoughts anyway so I don't bother.

Well, in that case, why did the first girl ask if SHE could have my number? Do you think that it was just on behalf of the second girl?

George, she was tricking you. You are a "ret*d" to her, to put it pretty extreme, she was only bullying you. You did the right thing!

Admitting I wasn't there and have absolutely no more of a cognizant idea of what was going on in that situation than you do, my attitude would have been "meh, what the hell," meaning I'd have given the number out of curiosity of what was going to happen next. Boredom overrules dignity.
There was a time when I'd have been worried about just being teased, too, but really, the worst she can actually do is give your number to telemarketers.

What do you all think?
I'm going to say they weren't interested. Despite what other people said, I think you should have tried asking her for her number, and watch her reaction. If she says no, don't give her your number no matter what. If she won't give out her number but still takes yours, god knows what she'll do with it: (1) she might give it out to Jehovah's Witnesses or Scientologists that hassle her in public, (2) use it as a fake number to sign up for marketing offers, (3) keep it as a trophy of the time she "tricked some chump into just giving out his number to a stranger", or (4) just throw it out. Next time a girl randomly asks you for your number, respond with something like this: "to make things fair, can you give me your number too?" Stick with your decision, and don't buckle under the fake flirting the girls might try. I know this sounds harsh and pessimistic, but it's for your safety. Sure you might miss out on a chance or two, but it's better than getting phone calls from your local Scientology recruiting center.

I honestly think these girls were teasing you, especially with the way they responded afterwards, trying to make you think you lost an opportunity. If you're mother is like my mother, she'd criticize you no matter what you did, so don't sweat that either. In fact, maybe there are things you shouldn't tell her.
