Your digits


So, the modern man is stuck with a new quandary. I found myself at a charity event/meat market a while ago. It was a fantastic time, for a great cause, and the company was top notch. One of our company handed out his card with his number on it to one of the attendees, and I was posed with the quandary, why didn’t he get her number in return? I never did get a chance to ask him.

So like us Guys’ Guide Guys tend to do, we took some rough stabs in the dark and came up with some ludicrous and some reasonable solutions to this quandary.
1. He was blitzed beyond his means and forgot to ask. Ok, this is probably not the case, but you never know, this one is doubtful.
2. He was seeding the crowd with the hopes of getting a better return. Kind of like going out there and sowing your wild oats, the more kids you have the less likely it is that one of them is going to screw up. I do not feel as if I am this cynical yet to think that this is what the friend was doing. There is a chance of “hey, the more my number is out there, the higher likelihood that someone is going to call it.” Possible, but not probable.
3. Again, this one being possible, but I doubt that it was the case, maybe this friend couldn’t gauge the girls interest and was afraid of being shot down. This guy is pretty confident in the ladies dept. And women wouldn’t like a guy who is afraid of being shot down (I know, I am kind of one of those guys, and the ladies don’t show the love for the Godot)
4. He could be a bit of a lazy dater, someone who wants to put the ball in her court and give the option of calling him. Now I don’t mean this to be derogatory, but if a guy gives you his number, and doesn’t ask for yours, you are under no obligation to call him, but you have the chance to, so if you were into him, call leave a short message. Put the ball back in his court, lazy bastard.

5. he secretly prayed that the girls boyfriend (or husband whichever) would find the card, be intrigued by the title "director of buttless chaps union'" and call. it is the most indirect way to have a long night of manly love whilst saving face among your friends.
