How would you feel if a fellow employee (or someone similar) handed you their phone number unexpectedly?


I'll try to be more specific.

Say Person A and Person B work in the same building together. Person A and B both hardly see each other but Person A and B would still would recognize each other when they do see each other. Person B tried to make friendly banter when Person A would pass. At first Person A did not pick up on it. Suddenly, Person A realizes how attractive this person is and Person A starts to respond a little bit. Person A still has never had a full on conversation with Person B, and would feel a little awkward trying to based on the little time both have spent with each other. This sudden flirtation fizzles out. Now, when Person A passes them Person B and A may or may not smile or even acknowledge each other. Still, Person A finds them somewhat intriguing. Well, Person A decides that they have nothing to lose. Person A is leaving the job and wants to see if this person is interested. Person A ends up passing them the last day they are working. Person A. hands Person B a piece of paper with their number on it as well as a hint for Person B to contact Person A in the future.

How would you feel if you were the Person B?

Person A does find this person intriguing. Although Person A also get the ladies man vibe from Person B.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!


What have you got to lose? If he's not interested, he won't call. But you won't be there anymore, so how awkward would it be? Not very. :-)

Mod cut.

Also, just do it. If you're leaving anyway ...

You're already NOT going out with him.

Or is it vice-versa? lol


Whoever got the phone number should call. If there's an interest, go for it


As for the vibes, I know several guys who come off like that but they're actually nothing like that. You won't know unless you get to know him.


Be like Nike and Just Do It.

I think OP is over-complicating, over-thinking and over-analyzing simple things.
Just do it if you feel like, or don't if you're not. Simple as that.

I also think, the person who left was attracted to the person staying, but didn't want to start anything at workplace. Otherwise, why give phone number?

It's never happened in my life, so I don't know... but if it was an co worker I would be weirded out since it is so inappropriate.

Wait...? How did you figure out the actual names?!

I included the extra pieces of information for those who would like to know more.

Then again I guess that is why there is such a thing as questions.

They work in the same building and seem to just pass each other by and haven't had much conversation.


One of them is leaving (I haven't figured out the formula yet to deduce which one is lol)


I've had #'s given to me within minutes of a conversation.


When I was in college, this guy at the bus stop one day started talking to me. We barely talked for 5 minutes and he asked for my #. Normally I wouldn't have given it but he looked so much like Christian Slater that I couldn't resist


To edit: when I was working in the branch, one of my clients (business client) handed me his #. I was like "huh", we have your # on file. He said, "No, that's my personal number." I wasn't about to date a customer but I was dating H at the time. It was kind of awkward because he made a face when I told him I was dating someone. Actually, I may even had been engaged at the time but needless to say, he wouldn't come to my window anymore lol
