writes: Well, this guy invited me out once, during the date he arranged to go to the cinema together, then we go to the cinema and he doesn't really talk a lot. then he suggests to have some dinner. then he makes me pay for everything. no problem, I get it, it's not a romantic date, but then, before we split, he insists on leaving me his phone number - after which, he disappears. He can see my facebook wall, I am going through a difficult (temporary) practical situation, and I received dozens of messages of encouragement by other people, but not him. I get it he is not interested, but if so why on earth did he insist on giving me his number, and at the END of the date, when he should have had an idea if he wanted to see me again or not? Or was he kindly offering a booty call number? I don't know this guy, but I met him in work related situations, he didn't seem "that" shallow... any ideas?

My question was really pure curiosity, you know the moment when the computer says "do not compute" before exploding for the confusion? this is how I felt, and this is why I asked this question. Yes, hard to get hardly works out of high school... sigh, my mistake - thank you for your advice!

Just forget about him. If he's trying to be attractive by playing hard to get, it's obviously not working.
Also, you can't expect him to act as a support network if he's met you once. He left you his number as he probably does with all the women he dates and you are taking it on too far. You said yourself that it is not a romantic date so it was not a romantic date. End of.

he gave you the number in case you are interested.
does he want more..... who knows... but i'm betting if he does it's a booty call kind of thing.
