Is this good?

    Hi everyone, this might make me appear very silly and innocent....

    But if a guy gives you his number to "get in touch sometime" does it mean a genuine interest, or do guys just hand out numbers to random girls they meet, sort of a numbers game?

    Also this number was given to me after we had spent the night together ( one night stand I figured ) but he seemed keen to stay in touch. I did not give him my number. Is this a good sign?

    I know I'm probably been a little over analylitical here! But does it sound good?

    Love to hear what you all think.

    The only person who can tell you anything is the guy himself. If you like him, give him a call.

    Well, to me it sounds good. Why not give him a call and find out?

    'Get in touch sometime' isn't very eager is it? Sounds like he couldn't be bothered to be honest.

    I'd give it a try but be prepared for rejection.

    Also, he didn't ask for your number. Did you ask for his or did he just give it to you?

    Really not good OP - I wouldn't get your hopes up at all. I think if a guy likes you he'll ask for your number to ENSURE that he gets a chance to see you again.

    OP, there's only one way to find out - give him a call.

    However, I'd say, in my experience, if a man wants to see you again he gets your phone number and calls you.

    "get in touch sometime"

    ( one night stand I figured )

    but he seemed keen to stay in touch
    Sound to me like, give me a call if you ever want a repeat performance. By not asking for your number he is not interested if he see you again.

    Guys are always nice and say they want to keep in touch after a one night stand, it makes it less awkward when leaving.

    Thanks for the replies.

    We were friends before this on a social networking site and I assumed if he wanted to hook up for a repeat performance, he could have just messaged me on there.

    He didn't ask for my number and I don't hand it out too often so that didn't bother me. He messaged me the next day saying what a wonderfull night we had and gave me his number.

    I most definately would not give my number to someone I was not definately interested in. What do guys get out of doing that?

    I don't think he's definitely not interested in you. It just means that he would be up for another one night stand or random hook up but he doesn't want to have a relationship with you. It's fairly obvious. He gave you his number so he doesn't have to make any effort to get in touch with you.

    Up to you really - if you like him and want a relationship stay away. And please don't think you can change his mind - he's made it very clear what he's up for and it's not long term.

    Sorry Op if it's not what you want to hear, but better to be blunt.

    no i have to say OP i'm not in agreement with the other posters here, i think he could be interested or at least willing to see if there's something there. My understanding is you know him socially, you ended up in bed together, the next day he (unnecessarily as you were fairly sure it was a ONS) messaged you and sent you his number.

    IMO he's leaving the ball in your court now to see if you want to advance things. apart from anything else, he sounds a nice fella, messaging you to say he had a great night.

    I say give him a call & ask him if he fancies going for a drink / the movies. what have you got to lose?

    Thanks for that Katgurl... you've given some positivity to my story!!!

    This is how I would view it too. However I would view it that way cause that is what I want!

    I thought it was extremely lovely of him to message and say such nice things, as I honestly didn't expect this, going on some previous experiences I've had with men.
    Also, he remembered every tiny detail of our previous meetings, when we just chatted. I wouldn't remember minute details of conversations with a guy unless I liked him very, very much.

    Thanks all... love to here all points of view!
