TheSonOfMark: If the dude acts the way I do then I think his actions (or inactions) so far have been deliberately ambigious.
Most females expect males to be stereotypic (and their presumptions are continually being justified) but there some males, like moi, who abhor being lumped in that analogy, so we do the very opposite...and declare our intentions when you least expect it.

Mrval20:
Quite probable.

dadoctore:
U spoke my mind

MzPreshie: I think you got it all wrong. I aint having sleepless nights for him. I'm very much okay with us being just friends. Guess it was just attraction at first sight.

Mrval20:
Quite probable.

vizkiz: uhmmmmn...op, can i get your number??

iyke926:
when are you going to change? Always asking for cell phone number

uhmmmmn...do i know you?

Arsenate: not probable. guys rarely want to be friends with girls they just meet.
your first post seems the most probable scenario.

Priceless24:
Hey ya, you've been friendzoned. It's painful sha

Mrval20:
This was exactly what happened:
At that birthday party, he liked you from a distance and approached you, you guys talked for some time and during this conversation, you did/said something that turned him off. More like, you weren't exactly what he expected you to be but he still wanted to give it a try even though his "like" level has dropped. Still overwhelmed with the doubt of really being compatible with you, he took your number and probably called/texted you a couple of times (and maybe went out with you), and then you proved him right! You're not "his type".
Because he didn't want to hurt your feelings by totally ignoring you or playing you, he decided to be "just friends" with you.
You have to deal with it, most guys are very sensitive and little things can turn them off big time. Also, that you're not his type doesn't mean he's in any way better than you.
NOTE: With the way you talk about this guy, you really liked him from the onset and guess what? You couldn't hide it the first day he approached you! This is a turn off for some guys, especially the handsome ones (you said he's handsome, right?) because they experience this with ladies everyday. They look for that lady who'd snub them even with their "fineboyism", and that's the lady worth going after.

MzPreshie:
So I met this guy, at a friend's birthday. I like him, I mean he's cute and he also seemed to like me too. We got talking and I felt comfortable with him. Eventually, he asked for my number which I gave him and we've been talking since then, turned good friends now. Now, what I want to know is this, some girls, myself inclusive before, think that when a guy asks for a girl's number, it means he wants to ask her out. So guys, how true is this?

FLAWLES:
all gals tink lyk dat,including u@Op

MzPreshie:
Yea, I liked him at first sight, you know, attraction I'd call it. But am not asking this question cause I want him to ask me out, nah, I just want to know. And besides, now he's a good friend and I'm not hoping to date him.
