I would never be one of those women who assumes that everyone who speaks is trynna holla. However, my ex dilligently tried to explain to me that if a guy asks for your number, it's for a reason. So far, I have to admit, he was right.
(Can I conversely conclude that no matter how long we talk, if a guy does not ask for the #, does that mean he wasn't feelin' me at all?)
For instance, I was networking (at work) with this older gentleman (with less than an iota of attractivity.)He works in the field I am trying to go into and asked what I was looking to do when my internship ends. He seemed surprised when I said I had nothing lined up and told me he would keep his eyes open for me because his station has openings all the time. He asked for my contact information, and I unwittingly obliged. (That's why a sista needs a business card, y'all) Well several weeks later, this fellow sent me a random text.
"Hi," it said.
"Hi," I wrote back - I ain't know who it was.
"This is (blank) from Channel (blank). I didn't want to bother you at work so I figured a text would be better."
"Oh! Good to hear from you," I replied, figuring this was a lead on some employment.
"When's a good time to call?" was his next text. An internal red flag went up. I didn't answer.
Several hours elapsed....he sent a duplicate text. Against my better judgment, this time I answered, "Anytime after 5, and please leave a message if I don't pick up." (I guess I was holding on to hope that he had contacted me for a good reason).
"OK," came his reply. "I was hoping we could hang out some time."
WTF!!!! Blindsided again! I looked at that damn text incredulously....took me a while to pick my jaw up off the floor. And in my head I could hear Dave Chapelle saying, "Gotcha, bitch!"

Miss D: Not everytime a man asks for a number does he want something. He might just be trying to prove something to himself or his buddies. My oldest nephew, not the one in the military, gets girls numbers just because he can. he is not interested in them at all, but will go as far with them as he can just to do it. He told me this as did some other young men, and I let them know, what goes around comes around. I don't care how much money you have, what position you have or how much you have change, one thing remains the same, what goes around comes around. Anyway, I believe that not every man or even woman has ulterior motives when they ask for a number. A lot do though.
