Or repeat the number back to her, but change a number or two. If she doesn’t correct it, it’s not hers.
Edit: So you don’t waste your time on someone who isn’t interested, and whoever is the actual owner of the fake number.

This is why you always use your old childhood landline number. It’s ingrained in the brain and definitely won’t pick up

My Dumbass would probably ask for it to be repeated because I am just bad at typing things fast. I typically have to ask like 3-4 times 💀

Why not just say no?

Some of y’all have never been in a position where it was safer to lie and end the interaction than say “no thanks” and it shows. Consider yourselves lucky.
Just a reminder, men can be pushy, aggressive and downright hateful when told “no”. I’ve had my night ruined because some muscle head decided to harass me about my number and felt disrespected I wouldn’t just give it to him. Do better.

For everyone saying it’s not ok or immature to give a fake number, Let’s not forgot that little girl in New York who got thrown to the ground and got her head stomped on by a boy for refusing to give out her number.

If I really want numbers exchanged I’ll give her mine and hope she says something to me. I figure every other permutation is going to be either embarrassing, uncomfortable for her, or end up with me calling a retiree in Illinois again.
One of the few things I’ve actually learned from reddit I’ve incorporated into my life. wow that’s depressing i’m on here too much

Just give them an old number you remember, or your number with one of two numbers changed.

I mean just use your real number with a single digit changed

You could just tell him no bud, less stress for you and most guys will just jump to the next girl.

There are so many men that get very pushy and aggressive when you say no and then just harass you till you cave. Now they will also call the number on the spot though to “check”

Just say no. Giving a guy a fake number is just giving the poor bastard false hope.

They’ve started just calling you right then and there to check if it works.

Wouldn’t it be fun if men could just take no for an answer and we didn’t have to play these games? 🥲
butteredbreadliker on
there’s a lot of commenters here who don’t understand the consequences of saying no to certain men… some examples: followed for several blocks while being insulted, threats of physical/sexual violence, “player tactics” (guy swaps his strategy to continue to pressure u, often with visible frustration where u think they’d be happier leaving u alone but now it’s a pride thing i guess?) just to name a few. all from extremely polite ‘no’s and then trying to walk away. giving a fake number is a survival tactic, and it can be hard to remember it when ur also trying to put some distance between u and someone who won’t take no for an answer

Why would someone give someone a false number, that’s just more cruel than saying no
