Girls giving out phone numbers

[Madaglan]

Hey, I just have a quick question. If a girl gives you her cell phone number via an email message, without you asking for it, although you asked her earlier for her email address, and gives the number for no specific purpose, what is one to make of that, especially if the girl is someone new whom you’ve met and spoken with???

Does it most likely mean that the girl likes you?

I’d appreciate (name removed by moderator)ut from the ladies.

I’d say she’s given you the number b/c she wants you to call. If she didn’t want you to, no number. Good luck!!!

I don’t know if you can jump to the conclusion that she likes you, lol…but it probably means that she is interested in finding out if she likes you.

Also, it really depends on the circumstances.

Like if you have ever met her in person.

If she gives her cell phone to abslolutely everyone she meets.

If it is even the right number

Why don’t you just ask her? Hey, does this mean you want me to call you, or is this only for emergencies? lol.

Well, you see, I don’t know. I’ve met her in person three times and talked in all with her for maybe 30 minutes. If she likes me, then why is she taking so long to respond to my email? She said that she’d do it today, but I have not received any email yet

Stop worrying and call…before you get an ulcer.

Maybe because she forgot, or didn’t think about it or was on the fence. One way to find out…ask her

My goodness, her not getting back to you could be any number of things. We can’t possibly know. But you’ll have a better understanding if you give her a call. And you don’t necessarily need to ask about the e-mail. Allow her to bring it up and see what the tone of her voice is when she hears it’s you calling.

How old are you by the way? And her?

Take care,

Mad,

I know you had asked for (name removed by moderator)ut from the ladies, but I wanted to drop my $0.02 worth about this sort of situation…

1. Conversation via phone (or better yet, in person) is far preferable to email. I spent four years of college getting politely rejected via email before realizing it was more efficient to just call her up. If she’s not interested, at least you’ll be putting her on the spot to come up with an excuse.
2. Take a deep breath and relax about this particular girl. Don’t be in a hurry to rush into a romantic relationship. Start out with just friendship, and if things progress from there, great. If not, at least you’ll still have a friend.

If you do talk to her again and it goes well, you might suggest going for a walk around campus or something like that. You can get to know each other better without all of the overhead of an actual “date”.

Good luck!

Don’t fret about getting a response late. I learned that the hard with with my girlfriend: we were always in daily communication, and I went on vacation and one of the days I didn’t get anything from her at all in response, and I thought she was mad at me or something or just ignoring me since I was gone…in reality her e-internet was busted. The things I look back on and say, “Dang was I foolish!” Be patient and all will be fine.

 

[Princess_Abby]

Relax! School has just started and maybe she didn’t get an opportunity to check her e-mail yet.

 

[JimG]

She’s waiting for you to call.

 

[movingmom]

She’s now playing hard to get after her mother reamed her out for giving you her phone number!

 

[Madaglan]

Ok, thank you. Whenever I see her alone in a public place, I go up to her and say hello and talk with her. She smiles when I talk with her. If you could just pray St. Raphael for me, that would be great. I felt so much at ease talking with her. She’s 18 I think (maybe 19). I’m 22. So there is a little age difference, but not too bad. thanks!

Remember all those cheesy sitcoms from the 80s and 90s? Like Cosby and Saved by the Bell?

Theo would approach a girl, or Zach and Slater would approach some girl or another, and they would all tell each, “Be cool, man, be cool!”

I think this applies in this situation!!!

Relaaaaaaaaaax and get to know her as a friend before setting any expectations for where the friendship might go.

And pray that God leads you in the way of His will.

I remember Saved by the Bell. I actually remember watching reruns of that on tv. Yeah, I know that it’s best to know her as a friend first. That’s what I’m trying to do. I mean, I’m excited that it might go further, but friendship is good enough for now. If you could pray for that at least, it would be great!

I think the most important thing to remember, and I told this to my friends umpteen million times while at Steubie, is that it is not God’s Will for you to sit there and stress out about girlfriends/friends/etc.

God’s will for you right now is to draw closer to Him, and you have a million opportunities to do that where you are. Sign up for adoration, attend Mass daily, do your studies. You are there as a student above all, and you have to get your life right with God and with your studies before it will be God’s will for you to be involved with anyone.

I saw countless people come into Steubenville so stressed out about “finding the one” because if you can’t find them there, you can’t find them anywhere (so goes their logic). If it is God’s will for you to get married you are only looking for ONE person. You may not meet her at Steubenville. You might meet her 10 years from now. Who knows? God does, and the timing will be perfect. You had better be good with God when it happens so you have a clue what is going on.

So stop worrying about this and over analyzing every detail. Just work on what you need to work on, because I promise you you will find the right person just when you aren’t looking anymore.

That’s exactly how it happened with me, and I have been happily married for over 2 years now. And, he didn’t go to Steubenville.

well I’m a girl, or used to be, in the olden days before email, but if we gave a guy a phone number it meant only one thing: CALL ME. then we would sit by the phone and agonize until he did call, there is a whole genre of classic rock songs by girlie groups on the theme of waiting for some guy to call. (this is how we wasted our time before we had the internet, sitting by the phone waiting on some dumb guy).

This afternoon I had a really bad experience with this whole issue. I called and later had a friendly conversation in person, but I had a really bad situation, and I think I’m going to drop the whole thing as yet one more trick of Satan

A trick of Satan!

Yikes. Those are strong words.

Try to keep your perspective, no matter what happened.

Yeah, perhaps I was using strong words. Sorry.

I’m still confused about what happened. I don’t understand girls and how they act very well

Yesterday she seemed somewhat cold to me at the table with everyone else, not talking with me at all and giving me these strange looks that I didn’t know what to make of, but this morning, as I was walking up the stairs to get to the cafeteria, she was coming down the stairs and said hi to me before I even saw her. I was a little surprised, relieved and yet still confused as to what her feelings are towards me. I wish I could be like Mel Gibson in that one movie and just read her mind.

I think that the best thing for me to do is not to think too much about her. I’ll say hello to her when I see her, but I think that I’ve already done enough to show her that I’d like to at least be a good friend. I’ll let her decide now if she wishes to accept.

The strange thing is that I actually had a dream with her in it about a year ago, even before thinking of coming to this school. I dreamt I was in a classroom. At the front of the classroom was an elderly Catholic priest writing on the board, and seemingly unaware of the students behind him. I was in the back of the classroom, and a small, cute and joyful girl with short light-reddish hair was kinda flirting around me. And then, when I later saw this girl here, in person, the girl in the dream and the girl I met clicked. The really strange thing is that, this girl serendipitiously ran into me the second day of being here, at dinner. Of about 1000 students, and it’s the one girl in my dream who sits directly across from me, since there was no other space in the cafeteria for her and her friend to sit. What to make of that?!

Some Eastern Catholics and Orthodox have told me to be wary of dreams, since they can be from Satan equally as they can be from God, so I am not sure if the dream and real life situations are from God or from Satan. Sometimes it seems like Satan; other times it seems like it’s from God.
