OP here, so she is interested?

This. And I certainly don't do it unsolicited. If I give out my contact info, it's because I'm either interested or okay hearing from that person again.

How do we know???????

Like I said in my earlier post, if there was a connection, you would have known it at the time. You only seem to be wondering about her because she gave you her phone number, and my impression is that you wouldn't have given her another thought if she had not.

I've probably given my info to people I wasn't interested in - but not to people that I don't trust. But everyone is different - and some people are just really friendly. Just call her - what can you lose?

And she lives 2,000 miles away, this seems an intellectual exercise more than anything.

But yeah, she probably likes you, I think it seems rather obvious even to a guy like me, who can't read a woman's signal unless it's tattooed on her forehead.

Giving out fake phone numbers is another way to "out" a guy that a woman loses interest in after a conversation with him.

He's trying to close the deal by getting her number, she's trying not to hurt his feeling hoping the fake number and disappearing act will work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Some guys don't give a rats a$$ and pocket as many numbers as they can, real or fake. Others get pissed off perhaps being the only phone number all night that's he got only to be a fake one.

There are guys who do the same thing but this is a lot more common practice in the dating world by women. It's a douchey way of her saying she's not interested in you without her physically telling you she's not interested. She will likely ignore you the next time she sees you in public hoping not to cross paths with you.

Neither would I.
