[Advice?] How did you deal with the regret of not giving someone your number?

  • I posted this in the lounge because I wasn't sure where else to post it, but because I know some are older then me here I wanted to get some advice, or anything you did afterwards.


    So today I just got home from having dinner with my family, and I really regret not giving my number to this really cute girl. She had super curly hair, the cutest cardigan, and gold glasses.


    We made eye contact a couple times, but I can't help but regret not giving her my number.


    I think part of it was because she appeared to having a some what adult/ grown up conversation with what I assumed was her grandparents, and she did look a little older then me, maybe 24 - 25?.


    But I didn't want to assume she was bisexual/ liked girls, and I haven't been out for that long. I have bumble and stuff but always wanted to meet someone without the app/ in person. And I do regret it, I think even my brother could tell since I kinda kept looking over, but he's much more confident then I am. She was so cute and so my type.


    Have you ever dealt with anything like this before? Did you come to the conclusion that maybe it just wasn't the right time for you to give them (her/him) your number and realize you have to work to get there? I'm regretful but I think it was a good first step!

  • Don't regret, but don't forget. Instead, let it be a lesson.


    Doesn't sound like I agree with selfmate, but I do. There's no use letting it weigh you down, but next time, you'll remember you don't want a "repeat". I can 100% respect that you thought it might not have been an appropriate time.

    hence

  • BebeCarat-0 You should feel better than me because someone I know from school got my number, and I've no idea know how he got it (I didn't tell anyone my number while I was in school).


    How you should deal with not giving someone your number (in my opinion) is don't forget to write it down on paper so you'll have it ready to give it away to somebody next time.

  • It's not regretable i feel how you restraining yourself with some really rational thoughts is a good experience and actually asking for advice when you are unsure shows your maturity. I align with others and feel you should not overthink the simulation of what- if's, rather remember this experience.


    If fate/butterfly effect is something you think is a thing then you might come across same person again or might find even better person (according to your standards). Overthinking and simulating things actually results in more errors as each individual you are meeting is different and you can't tell what they are thinking.
