    Absolutely; when I was 14.

    What is preventing you from approaching this person and asking them yourself? All you need to do is strike up conversation, maintain it for a minute or two and just before you depart - casually ask if you could have his number so you can chat sometime. Believe me, you'll most likely get it.

    Most people dont appreciate when people who they havent given their number to decide to text them at random. It could spoil whatever chances you may have had with this person and potentially ruin the relationship between them and the person who was originally entrusted with the number.

    If I were on the other end and someone had asked their friend's friend for my number I would find it a little creepy, and also be slightly annoyed that this person would give out my number to whomever asked.

    I totally agree, most people think it's cute and all but it's not!
    Especially if the feeling isn't reciprocated.

    My feelings exactly. If someone rang me and said "Hi, my name is <name>. You don't know me, I like you though. I got your number from <friend's name> and I just want to let you know how I feel" or something to that effect, I know how I'd react:

    -"Go away from me" and hang up
    -Tell friend that if they ever give out my phone number to some randomer again they will be risking sensitive parts of their anatomy by doing so
    -Calm down and relax

    Sorry if this seems extreme, but stalker-ish things and so on makes me nervous!!!
