My female, heterosexual friend has a crush on this guy in her Geology class. She told me he randomly gave her his number in class and that even after she texted him twice, no response. We're both just like ??? about this. Help us?

He may like her and is playing "hard to get" or disinterested to throw her off. Or, he could have been busy upon receiving both and forgot to reply. Or fallen asleep. Or basically anything. Situations like this are always tricky. 

Yeah, depending on how much time has gone by lots of possible things could have happened.

However, it does seem strange to give someone your number to someone only to ignore the messages once received.

I assume the messages that were sent told this guy who was trying to contact him in enough detail that he was aware who the messages were from.

Still, that does seem strange. Hard to give up too when there are feelings involved. Hopefully it is something accidental or unintentional happening and not mean or intentional.

As the devil's advocate...

Just saying, but are you sure that's HIS number?

He could be trolling. Hard core. And after that your friend realises that's NOT his number.

Just saying.

It's a possibility.

My friend got me once like this before.

steel_attacker : Yea we're sure - we checked the area code

Is it at all possible that your friend wrote the number down incorrectly?

I think most other possibilities have already been mentioned in this thread.

xxeliza321xx :
Well, the area code for his neighbour would be the same, too...

Hmm, well several things could be going on here. He could easily be trolling your friend or he may just be busy or possibly fell asleep like writingwolfs said. I wouldn't worry to much about it. If he really likes your friend he will chase after her.

Hard to tell. I personally would not give out my phone number unless I was interested.
Now, many other possibilities:
1- Fell asleep
2- Too busy and forgot about it
3- He may not be that into her and thinks maybe he let her on a bit
4- Wrong number??
I would just wait and see when they see each other again in Geology class. Hey maybe have her ignore him a bit in class and see if he approaches her. 

Well I could tell you EXACTLY what's going on, being a guy myself I know that there's 1 of 3 things going on here but I need more information on who approached who.

1: He's testing her to see how desperate she is ( I know you're not going to like how brutal this sounds but it is what it is) in which case, there are some rules to countering this, this was number 1 because of how tricky this can be.
rules: 1 after the first initial text ever, do not send more than 1 more message without a response
            2DO NOT send more than one text after a given response
             3DO NOT text back immediately finish what you're doing IRL before you do. Your life is more important than some guys   affection.plus     you seem less desperate
                 4 NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS don't let it affect you. We all float on.
                  5 DO NOT be too short but DO NOT ramble (unless he talks your friggin head off)
                  6 the length of your texts should match his ( doesn't have to be precise)
                    7 how fast he texts back determines how fast you do.
                    8 Don't treat him ANY differently than you would a friend that's a girl. have that level of comfort there. like JUST RELAX
                     9 The main rule that will sum all of these up DO NOT GIVE WHAT HASN'T BEEN GIVEN. keeping it equal has never failed me.
                     10. if this person is a douche nozzle, know when to walk away. your self respect integrity  and confidence matter more than
                            anything. Most importantly, know when somethings wrong. No matter which one of you did it.
             
2: He's extremely interested and is using the laws of attraction to pull her in. A very very primitive tactic in my opinion. Must be a highschool kid. to get him in the bag act like you really don't care. like you're too cool for anyone. this means: don't talk much anymore but don't come off as shy. when you do talk, talk with a dominate tone. like you're in control. this'll leave mystery and he'll be tearing his hair out to be by your side. ------The same rules apply as 1.) but this has a MUCH higher success rate if you're new to head game.

3:He did that because he doesn't like her at all. he wanted to let her down in a way that wouldn't embarass her in front of people she wasnt comfortable with AKA the entire student body. which will probably hurt her more than help which is unbeknownst to him.





I HOPE THIS HELPS. I'm not a professional by any means I just gave you a wealth of knowledge i've accumulated through dating. getting to the dating part is 25% attraction 50% psychology 15% chemistry 10%willpower but 100% worth it if you know what you're looking for


(Exp: I used to be an adventurer like you til i took an arrow to the knee)

Thanks guys! She finally got a reply from him, but it took DAYS for him to get back to her, so I assume he's not into her. I think that even if he was ''busy'', he would still have gotten back to her sooner if he really liked her romantically.

Maybe he got busy.  Maybe his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he had to drop everything to go deal with that.  Maybe his fantasy football needed a lot of work and he had to go watch game film.  Maybe he's on a team that had a tournament and he was doing that instead.  Maybe he had a paper due.

Just because someone takes a few days to get back with you doesn't mean they're not interested.  This is the very first step in a possible relationship so it's at the bottom of the Importance Ranking for this guy.  And maybe he's thinking he needs to play it cool and he doesn't want to appear desperate and needy.

it could be anything.  And there are no rules.  He doesn't have to explain himself why he took a few days.  It's only a few days.  A month?  Okay, you have a discussion.  Three or four days?  That's no big deal.

Let's all calm down.
