What's kept you from asking someone's number?

ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 49 points –

Phone number or other contact info. Supposing you're on good terms, they're not someone you're interested in romantically or the like (so none of the anxiety from that at least), what's kept you from asking?

Supposing that something has on occasion, anyway.

There's no real need if I already have them on socials and can chat them that way otherwise if they're close enough friends and I feel like having their number would be more convenient, I usually give them my number first and they usually text me straight away or give me their number.

Edit - Sorry just noticed the "or other contact info" part.

I'm assuming you kinda want advice on the approach?

It's sort of the other way around, rather than the approach, I was curious about what might make someone hesitant to ask another's contact info. Should have phrased it differently, looking at the majority of the replies, but I thought the added body text might help clarify where I was coming from.

Like I completely get not wanting to read as romantically interested/flirting, or general anxiety, but I was wondering what some other situations might be.

Ohhhh right I get you now!

I can't think of many reasons that might stop someone outside of anxiety or not wanting to give the other person the wrong idea.
