If a guy asks you if he can give you his number, rather than asking for your number, how would this make you feel?

1. Fine. I consider it more polite to offer your contact information than to ask someone to disclose theirs

2. Fine, but I’m still gonna toss the number away the first time I pass a trashcan.

3. A guy once did this to me, I found it very thoughtful of him. He approached me at a subway station and after a short chat, he basically said “Hey this is messenger ID, send me a message if you’d like to grab dinner together sometime”

   It’s great how it didn’t put me in that uncomfortable position where you might WANT to reject someone, but don’t dare to.

4. I’ll accept it to get out of the situation but I won’t be contacting him

5. Better than asking for mine

6. It’s not gonna make me feel anything other than uninterested. If his move is to make me do the first move and put in work then I’m out.

7. Much more polite and self-aware than asking for mine. Ended up dating the last dude who used that tactic.

8. I would love this. Because I can take it, and promptly toss it once he walks away, vs. the alternative which is to give him a fake number and hope he does not try calling it in front of me.

9. Less awkward than being asked for one

10. I feel like it’s pretty polite. Honestly, maybe it’s just me but I feel like it’s rude to ask someone for theirs. If I want to contact someone I always offer my own.
