OK, so this girl and I kind of connected over the summer. We kind of knew each other all year long since she was a pal of mines friend, but never really spoke to each other until one day last month when bumped into each other. On that day we talked about how busy she is and how she moved halls and bla bla bla no big deal. After that day I decided to add her on Facebook. We start inboxing each other a few times till one day somehow she replies not through Facebook but by text( quite surprising since we nv exchanged phone numbers LOL. Only possible guess is she looked at my profile details and got it from there or asked friend for it). So I take advantage of that and texted her once in a while just to say hi what's up how you doing stuff avoiding to look to needy. Nothing much going on here just usual chit chat about how busy she is and how old she feels even though she's young and bla bla bla. Anyhow after a month we both went back to our home countries at the end of uni and guess what! I get another text from her with the phone number of her home country LOL asking how am I? And how's she's missing uni. ( it might be chain text since my name was not there) . Now question is you guys reckon she is interested in me? She is pretty confusing for me cause her text messages are quite synthetic compared to mine, at times emotionless and usually she takes hours if not days to reply to my text messages :S 99% of the times I start the texting not her.(except for the text message from her home country and others) possibility might be she is just seeking male attention since I noticed she has lots of male friends I don't know lol
Thanks you hope you reply in many :))

It doesn't sound like she's interested. Girls are quick with texts and usually start conversations if they dig you.

Unless you ask a girl, or she asks you, for her phone number because you asked her out on a date, a number exchange shouldn't be interpreted as a romantic gesture.

You haven't had any dates, or talk of a relationship of any description, or even, by the sounds of things, a serious conversation that isn't text. And the texts are not serious as you said, and you initiate most of them, with her taking her sweet time responding.

If you are interested, you have to take a little step in that direction, to let her know. She may be waiting for you to make a move. Do you have any instinct, or thought with regard to that? Are you interested in her?

From where it stands now, in my book, there is nothing going on here to even suggest a friendship, let alone a romantic interest- from either of you.

So, as to your question- is this a good or bad sign, that she gave you her phone number, I'd say, probably a good sign, otherwise she wouldn't have done that.

Why not call her and voice to voice, have an old fashioned conversation. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Too much speculation. I'm in agreement with the above that suggests the phone number is not some tell-tale sign of interest. You have been chatting/texting/whatever for awhile now, eventually it will lead to a phone number (not in the same context as if you'd have asked her for the number which would suggest interest on your part). In fact, with the amount of time that has elapsed I'm not sure you have not already crossed that freindship barrier. As in if you do make a move she'd be stunned by the fact that her friend asked that of her (as if these beautiful women weren't hard enough to get as it is, we have but a brief window of opportunity).

Taking the above into account I still suggest pushing this as you seem to like her. If you do nothing than you have yourself a friend. If you want more it's time to get a little more aggressive with this. I'd suggest setting up a meeting when you are both back home and seeing what comes of the response, or better yet, the meeting.

Good luck.

You're are text buddies, electronic pen pals, and forget romance, since she isn't there, and have fun doing other things, and not get carried away. Now if she returns to uni, and you can see each other face to face, it might be different, but the way it is, enjoy the long distance friendship, and keep your fantasy of love, and romance very realistic.

Don't overdo it.
