Why do women give out their numbers, only to later they say they have a boyfriend?
It may not be that they have a boyfriend, but women don't understand that when a guy says he will call, they don't mean tomorrow or even the next day... they may just feel ticked off that he didn't call right away and tells him she has a bf, or she gave her number out because she wasn't serious about the guy she was seeing but then changed her mind.
Depending how long the guy takes to call, she may have met and started dating someone in the meantime. That's what happened to me back in the day.
It may be a moment of weakness while out having fun, she was going through a rocky phase in her relationship, she was caught off guard when you asked her for the phone number or has a difficult time saying "no" face to face, "in the light of day" she realized she really is not interested in getting to know you.....etc
The real question is: "Why should you give a second thought about someone who is clearly not interested in getting to know you?"
This type of rejection is a gift. It saved you time!
Be grateful she didn't go out on several dates with you leading you on and allowing to spend your hard earned cash just because she didn't have anything better to do.
Some men ask women for their phone numbers but never call them. This is especially true after drunken one-night stand. They ask her for her number so she doesn't regret it in the morning. Men asking for phone numbers and women giving out phone numbers to people they aren't interested in getting to know is usually a sympathetic gesture.

Why is it men don't pick up on subtle hints from women?They do, but they ignore them? They don't really listen? They don't care? Or women really have to be straight forward at the risk of injuring some of men's feelings, which usually women are trying to avoid by giving the subtle hints?

Are you comfortable with flirting? Why or why not?Studies show that women initiate flirting 90% of the time.
