			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was out on the weekend with some friends socializing and having a few drinks.  I met a seemingly nice and interesting guy through a mutual friend and after a short while of talking, he had the nerve to ask for my phone number, directly after I had just told the story about moving to the UK to be with my boyfriend!</p>
<p>What would <em>you</em> do in the situation?</p>
<p>If the guy was sincerely interested in friendship and nothing more, I didn&#8217;t buy it.  But if he was, what I did next was kind of cruel.  <span id="more-136"></span>Truth be told I <em>wasn&#8217;t interested</em> in his friendship or anything else beyond those few minutes of conversation.</p>
<p>I first tried to weasel out of the situation by saying &#8220;Oh you know, maybe I&#8217;ll see you here again&#8230; I&#8217;m here often enough&#8221; which was, of course, a big fat lie.</p>
<p>When that and saying I had lost my phone wasn&#8217;t obvious enough and he insisted, I put a fake name and number in his phone.</p>
<p>What is it with guys and collecting phone numbers anyways?  I have a feeling it&#8217;s associated with pride and feeling superior to other nearby males.  This also leads me to wonder what percentage of women give out fake numbers or use other tactics in order to avoid being brutally honest and potentially bruising someone&#8217;s ego.</p>
<p><strong>Guys</strong>, have you ever been fake numbered?</p>
<p><strong>Women</strong>, do you tell the truth or do you lie to avoid hurting their feelings?</p>
