Lol, what's wrong with a guy giving a girl his number instead of asking hers? In a way I prefer it that way because its up to me wether I want to follow up or not.I don't like guys asking for my number when I'm not interested.I prefer they leave it up to me
But you're more interested in him than he is in you! Are you sure you want to follow up with a guy who has probably forgotten who you are by now?

I prefer calling, but some people forget that the phone was once for voice communications. I default to texting unless I'm able to have a chat about communication preferences.

Phone is for calling and setting dates
I think it is better to set future dates in person at all times and cut the phone out of the equation, calling or texting. Phone calls are great if you can actually reach the person. But it can be risky in the early stages in terms of getting stuck in voicemail jail (long term unreturned phone call). Texting is impersonal but can be convenient. Also, if you are dealing with anyone early 30s or younger, they are more used to texting.
I got a number from a guy 5 days ago .The reason why I haven't texted is because he's physically not my type.I'm still not sure if I should text or not. There's just no desire for me to text him.I need that initial attraction for me follow up
Would you only text a guy if the initial attraction is there?
Why do you want to play games? You know you aren't interested....sounds like your just looking for an ego boost so you can play him like a fiddle for awhile and then turn him down.

The phone is not your friend.
Exactly! Put it down and try to interact with people. People just are not as friendly or as personable as they use to be. Ever notice everybody walking around with their head down on their phones. Yesterday at work, during a break. I was walking through the break room, I noticed about 8 people, no one talking, all with the heads down on their phones. Complete quiet. It never use to be like that.
Remember years ago when there was NO texting. and no voicemail. People seemed to interact with each other better. Yep, showing my age. But people seems to be more friendly when you met, or encountered them and you got to know them. Not getting to know them maybe later,through texting. Not a quick encounter, yea here's my number, contact me later. But some ones question. Do I text him since he gave me his number but he didnt take mine. If some one is truly interested in you. There is no question. Numbers will be exchanged and mutual contact will be made.
He is not your type but you accepted his number.
he is not your type but you are thinking of texting him.
Makes no sense.

All that would do is lead him on and make him think you ARE interested - how could that possibly turn out well?

lol...jeeze...
Women should know women...
OP probably isn't physically attracted to him. But who knows....maybe OP herself isn't physically attractive either?
Or maybe OP hasn't had a date in a long time and a guy give her a number?
Perhaps all the guys she was physically attracted to ignored her and his guy didn't?
Or..maybe...this whole attractive thing is all in one's head? There's been lots of relationships where the girl said the guy was not her type, but the guy kept pursuing and asking her out...eventually they went out and now they are madly in love?

Right.
I think OP is deciding to cash in and text or roll again.
