writes:Hi! I need help here!I met a girl this weekend through a friend of my brother. It appears this guy was under the impression that she liked him. Anyway, later on she told me that she didn't fancy him at all, and felt awful about it. She wanted to know how best to let him know she was only interested in him as a friend. She told me she hadn't deliberately given him any signs to say otherwise. At this stage I could tell she liked me, but she didn't say anything so I didn't, but then she told me, and asked me for my number. I was thinking straight away, this could be kind of awkward, since this guy was into her and it turns out she's into me!The thing is, I like her. She seems like a really nice girl and I'd like to get to know her more. For that reason I gave her my number, but here's the annoying part: my mobile was broken, so I had to give her a number I knew, but would only be active on Wednesday (transferring networks). I explained this and she said she was going to text me, but now I'm worried she won't text back and I'll never see her or hear from her again!The only way I could get her number and give her a call would be through this friend of my brother, but that would look very suspicious.I even thought of going to the pub and then taking his mobile when he goes to the bar or something, but that's just wrong!This probably makes me seem like a horrible person, but I didn't go out intending for that to happen! If I got her number, I'd only want to talk at first and see what happens.Why do this have to be so complicated? What the hell should I do?

A week later, and I've heard nothing. I know that's probably it, but I don't want to leave it like that. I just can't see a way of getting her number - everyone is discouraging me from asking for it!

november_rain is verified as being by the original poster of the questionHi! That last point you made there is my thoughts exactly. I'd hate to throw away an opportunity - it feels like the wrong thing to do!
I suppose I'll just have to find a way!
Thanks for your help :)

On a side topic - I wish I'd named this thread myself! Should really say "things" and not "this" lol.
