You Want My Number? Um... Ok...
Have you ever given out a fake number?
I did today for the first time. I just blurted it out.
Here's what happened...
Today I was a jumble of mess and excitement and forgot to make my lunch. I had to buy food at school, so Carl's it was. Some guy starts making casual conversation and honestly, I had no idea why he started talking to me. But I smiled and nodded and was polite. I walk away to put my wallet in my bag that is at the table I plan to sit at and come back to get my food. He leaves and I think nothing of it. Heck, I didn't even notice he left.
UNTIL, I turn to go toward my table and he just so happens to sit at the table right beside mine. All I could think was, "No, ugh, noooo." I walk to my table making no eye contact whatsoever, then walk away to "look" at other things hoping he'd get the hint that maybe I don't want to talk. Finally I return to my table feeling all the less comfortable and I bust out my laptop hoping to watch some Hulu, what I'd been looking forward to all of class. Laptop= a big fat DO NOT DISTURB in college. Apparently, not to all people.
He asks me how my burger is, which is still in the bag that I have clearly not opened yet. I say good and keep quiet. THEN!, and I thought this only happened in movies, he says something along the lines of "I'll keep you company" and moves over to my table UNINVITED! The LAST thing I want today is to be hit on. (It's my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend. Who wants to be hit on on such a special day?)
So he's making casual conversation and I say I have a boyfriend. Not as blatantly upfront like I usually do but it is said and now SHOULD be understood that this is a no-soliciting-zone. Dude does not take a hint.
Not only is he not taking a hint but I have to sit through this bullshit story about how he, "Was a model. You know my friend told me to try out and I was like, nahh, I won't make it but I did so ......" (granted he is not cute and definitely not model type) and he, "Got a new cell. Damn, I don't remember the number and my phone is dead. I wish I could remember it so I could give you my number." Not falling for it buddy.
And I didn't. I did not give him my number even though he continued to bring this up literally FIVE times in the conversation.
Finally, it hits me. What's the fastest way to get this guy outta here? As I'm thinking this, he is still talking and I catch him staring at my boobs. Douche. I say "You know, I have a mid-term to study for" and of course, he gets THAT hint. He asks for my number and I give him the first one off the top of my head, my boyfriend's (sorry). fake email too.
I felt like a bitch but I felt even more stupid that I couldn't just man up and say GTFO!
Have you ever given out a fake number to a creepy guy? What would you have done in this situation?

lol. I've given fake numbers before.
I haven;t gone so far as to giving a fake one. But theres been times I was just like
Uh, No.
And walked away.
I definitely would have done the same thing, because I've been in situations where I've made up having a boyfriend and they just didn't care.
Douches
Gahh I hate guys that can't take a hint!! Its so annoying. I totally get what you went through, i've never had that happen to me but it sure does sound annoying.
Just say you're flattered but no you have a boyfriend. It's nice to get hit on. You don't have to get mad at them! :)
hahahaha. You gave him your boyfriend's number? That's fantastic.
I've never given out a fake number before, but I have dealt with guys that just wouldn't take a hint before. For instance:
I was out at a bar one night, and this guy had been dancing with me and getting progressively more invasive and inappropriate with his moves, so I moved us closer and closer to the bar so he'd get the hint to stop groping me. This was failing to work as he stopped the dancing, but felt it necessary to keep one hand in the back of my pants, with his fingers literally in the top of my ass crack, as he starts to make conversation. He asks me for my number, to which I say, "I don't think my boyfriend would like me giving that out to you." He flashes me a smile and replies, "Oh, don't worry, I have a girlfriend too." Luckily, one of my friends happened along at that point to rescue me as I internally facepalmed at his total lack of tact.
/sigh. Some guys.
HA. I'm sorry. It's too funny. Your bf's #...
I can't bring myself to give fake numbers....im 16 and even i have given a fake #
it actualy happens more often than i thought
I give out fake names too. haha~ Only time I give out my name and number is when I feel like that person is a safe person or if I approve of that person.
That's what rejection hotline is for :)
never gets old.
hahaha, i usually give my boyfriend's number too! my last guy thought it was hilarious :)
I would've told him I didn't have a phone. While texting. xD
I've never done this. Honestly, the best thing I've done is say I have a boyfriend (which I do) and they always back off or tell them no thanks. No need to go that far..
Honestly, I think that's the problem with hints. They're not clear, so they can easily be taken many ways.
If you really don't want the attention you need to be more clear than a 'hint'. After all, a 'hint' could easily be taken as 'I just want you to try harder', among other possibilities, or missed entirely.
You don't need fake phone #s (except perhaps in rare situations). Really that's just a little mean.
But just earlier on, when you're realizing you're not interested, just come out and say so. Preferably in a polite way. Something like, "I'm sorry, but I'm really not interested in company right now. I'm busy."
All that the hints and fake #s do is make for a passive-aggressive way to avoid direct confrontation and forestall hurting feelings until the other person is out of sight.
it's not even the fact that you have a boyfriend, but that you're simply NOT interested. so even if you didn't have a boyfriend..yea..no. unless :o scandalous! but not in this specific situation.
I do this all the time.
When I'm at parties, guys literally surround me. It drives me insane.So I just give them my OLD phone number.They will never see me again. I feel bad for whoever has my old number, though. Haha.REJECTION HOTLINE.
There's a reason it exists.
I accidentally gave out a fake number, gave the first number I thought. Unfortunately it was my work number...
@sheisrunningwithscissors@xanga - Yep! Columbus, OH: 614-360-9876
I gotta give that guy credit, he did something someone like I couldn't do - attempt a cold approach, but after I got to the second half of your post, his stubbornness really came through.
los angeles rejection hotline 223.5412 hahaha
he mistook your common courtesy smile and nodding as a positive sign to go ahead and flirt with you. that's why I often have a neutral face and don't smile at guys that I'm not interested in, so they are more hesistant to approach me
I haven't given out a fake number. I think you should use his own pick up line against him and say the same thing back, "I also Got a new cell. Damn, I don't remember the number and my phone is dead. I wish I could remember it so I could give you my number."
CREEP ALERT! I'm all for guys gathering up the courage to approach a girl, but if she shows that she is obviously not interested (which, I think, you made that CRYSTAL clear) then a respectable guy would take the hint and back-off. Oh well, life wouldn't be as entertaining if it weren't for awkward situations like these, eh? HAHA
Kudos for giving him your boyfriend's number though! GENIUS!
LOL
@my_horizon@xanga - LOL I've used that hotline a couple of times back in high school. HILARIOUS!
LOL good story :D hahahah gotta admire his confidence and tenacity??? no? lol
