It may sound cringey but we were laughing together and embarrassing ourselves and I knew that I liked him even though I don't really know him. I was wondering whether I should give him my number because I don't want to let a good opportunity slip by, but I don't want to humiliate him or myself or come across too forward or seem as though I do it all the time. Shall I do it?How might he feel? Reply to this Question

 iAmHereToHelpYou is right. YOU need put your safety over meeting guys quite honestly.
And I don't think handing out your number is necessarily the best way to meet people you have something in common with.
I know compared to your generation I'm ancient, but REALLY there are other ways to meet decent fellas. Just saying.. What do you think we did in the Stoneage? We TALKED to people and yes if they ASKED for our number they might get it and after that maybe they met up and got to know each other. Texting a handsome stranger doesn't mean you will really get to know him. :)

How old do you think the guy is?
As a mom of daughters I wouldn't be to keen on any of them giving out numbers to guys because they think that guy looks hot, you know?

 Sure, why not? Nothing at all to lose. The worst that happens is he doesn't call and it's not as though you have to see him daily. Very low risk situation. He can't really ask you for your number or ask you out because he could get fired so it's on you. At the very least he will find it flattering, for sure. It's not too forward at all.
I once gave my number to a waiter who I thought was flirting with me, and he did call.
