[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to be the oddball out here and ask OP why YOU didn't ask him for exchange of number, I actually suggestes a few pages back with a couple suggestions for how to do it, like an Internet excuse or something, your data plan is low whatever.
That would have given you a ton of information and ended this whole "is he married, why don't I have his number" thing.
Is there any chance you kind of like the drama and being so passive? You seem like you are putting this all in his hands instead of asking for or steering a towards what you want.
You have gotten a lot of good advice and suggestions and done nothing [/quote]

OP here: Fair point, I could have asked, and was considering it going into the date. I didn't because the way the date was going left me wondering if I even wanted to see him again, and thought that asking for his number at that point would have been sending mixed messages if I wasn't going to use it. Also thought it could possibly seen as agreeing to 'speed up the relationship' as he indicated he wanted, and I definitely wasn't agreeing to speed anything up.

Don't like drama, just like to take my time and think about things some (in a moment of irony, I realize I said this same thing to him last night). I agree that I've gotten some good advice and feedback here, and your solution to asking for the number was a very smart and creative one that I will use if I decide to continue messaging with him.

I'm glad I posted this here, the perspective has been worthwhile. [/quote]
