I probably already know the answer to this, but I was just curious about your take.
I've know this man through work for about a year now. The whole time, we were both in a relationship. However, recently, we have both coincidentally broken up with our partners, and he's indirectly asked me to go out with him. However, at that time, we were only connected professionaly through LinkedIn, and he asked me to contact him when I'm free 😂. I was like "nah, not gonna chase a guy first of all, and second of all, not on a fkin LinkedIn" 😂😂😂.
Anyway, some time passed by and he's asked me for my phone number this time. I was a bit sceptical, but we did exchange contacts. Only for him to... never contact me again?!? What the hell?? Why would a guy go through the effort of first asking you out and then asking for your phone number only not to follow through? Is he just not interested or does he want ME to chase HIM?? Wtf... Either way, he's blocked and deleted now, I was just wondering what's your take on this situation as I wasn't able to find answers elsewhere.
He wanted the ego boost of getting a woman’s phone number but doesn’t actually care to pursue
I’Ve also had multiple instances where men will ask for my number and wait WEEKS to text me. They are then shocked when I block them instead of replying. Some guys take “playing it cool” way too far
In my experience it’s because he was married!
He's a scrote not worth dating.
Ego boost you are not his priority
“Why would a guy go through the effort of first asking for your phone number only to not follow through?”
Because the EGO BOOST of just getting you to give your number was as much of a dumb “conquest” as this particular lazy & low effort scrote wanted. No reflection on you at all. He probably has a girlfriend he’s trying to cheat on in the future by getting a bunch of women’s contacts he never intends on following up on, kind of like faux abundance.
It means you should block and delete, no further questions asked.
Whatever issues he has going on is not your business/concern. What is your business is blocking and deleting. Next!
he either lost your number or he lost interest.
LVM are very volatile creatures.
don't try to understand him. decenter him from your search for a partner. you are the one who chooses.
It could also mean you didn't make him work enough for the number and thus it has lost value in his mind.
