So, I am recently single after a 3 year relationship. I go out every weekend-bars, sporting events, parties etc. I have been asked about 8 times over the past couple weeks for my number by guys I meet while I am out.
I would say about 3 of the 8 guys actually contacted me. Two actually set up dates and the other lost touch.
Question: Why ask if you have no intention of contacting?
Because some folks:
1. think that "they should ask for a number anyways"
2. have contacted several women during a few days, or even more
3. are in contact with someone already and they are just "playing the field" when they see a chance
4. believe it or not, many folks just don't care enough to call (because that's what the society is today)
5. even more folks are lazy to call
6. some folks might be awkward to call, some might think that you won't give them a pass anyways
List is pretty long, but your safest bet is this "don't care/lazy" culture and possibly "hitting on multiple folks/playing the filed.

Most women don't approach men and/or ask for their numbers. Not one myself, but most women will sit waiting forever for a man to approach her.
They do but those "approaches" are terribly awkward on their part. You wouldn't believe how stupid does it look like when a girl is hitting on you and then she enters into a group of guys and attempts to "hide" behind you while claiming that she's "hiding from her boyfriend". Personal experience. Some things can look cute, but some things can really be .... silly.

Reason: avoiding double post
A lot of times, men just ask for numbers for a 'confidence boost' if you will. Its quite possible that those men are in relationships and or married and they just wanted to see if they 'still have game' and that someone other than their wife/GF finds them attractive.
Can't say I didn't see this coming... Oh, the interesting lives us regular CD folks lead.
I wouldn't ask for a girl's number if I wasn't interested in contacting her. And I'm not going to text all damn day. We can go out and get to know each other better, or have an actual conversation on the phone, but I won't be staring at my phone screen all day because one party or the other is too dimwitted to make good intelligent conversation.

I'm guilty of that. Sometimes you do it just to see if you can get the number.

I could ask the same thing! Why give me your number if all you're going to do is ignore my texts and phone calls? Irritating!
