Today, I met a really cute guy at work. He asked for my number, and I wrote it down on a piece of paper. After looking at the paper, he crumpled it up, yelled "Do you think I'm stupid? I know the rejection hotline when I see it", and walked away. It was my real phone number. FML

Today, a cute guy came up to me and asked for my phone number. I was super excited and began to write it down when he said, "It doesn't have to be your real number, I'm not gonna call anyway." I still gave him my real number. FML

Today, while in class, a cute boy came up and asked me for my number. I giggled and wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and told him to call me sometime. He gave me a weird look and walked away. He was asking which number math problem I needed help with. FML

Today, I finally worked up the courage to ask a cute guy for his number. Once he had given me his, he asked for mine. My initial happiness was deflated when he said, "OK, now I can just block every message from you," and walked away. FML

Today, I wrote my phone number on a Post-it note and gave it to a cute girl at work. She immediately threw it away. In front of me. FML

Today, I went to a club with a couple of my friends. I met a really cute guy and we were getting along pretty well. We eventually exchanged numbers. Later on I decided to call him and set up a date. The number he gave me was the Rejection Hotline number. FML

Today, a cute girl I know in passing approached me very nervously and blushing like mad. She gave me a note with a number on it, said to call her, then ran away. When I called the number later, it was one of those rejection hotlines. What the hell? FML

Today, I spoke to my crush for the first time, and after a while he asked for my number. Ecstatic, I took the first piece of paper I saw out of my purse. I wrote it down and gave it to him, but he handed it back and said, "You might need this." It was an appointment card for my therapist. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to give a guy my number. I wrote it down on a piece of paper, tore it in half and gave it to him. Later, I noticed I'd given him the wrong, blank half. FML

Today, I was talking to a guy I really liked, hoping that he would ask me out. Eventually he asked for my number. I was so excited that I couldn't remember it. FML

Today, I asked a very cute fireman for his number, "just in case I needed him to come to my rescue." He told me, "Yeah, sure!" and scribbled it down. After he walked away, I read his note, which read: "911". FML

Anyone as stupid as that you probably don't want sniffing around you.

You should try to explain. He could be shy. Or it could have been his way of rejecting you. Either way,try to explain, and see where that goes.

Maybe he asks for WAY too many phone numbers. Or perhaps #6 is right. An unstable outburst like that doesn't sound like "shy." It doesn't sound like it is anything you want anything to do with. #67 seems pretty spot on.

He IS stupid! Way too stupid for you. And #89, you can go to their website. They have different numbers per state, and also I think they have one standard number.

A guy who gets rejected often enough to know the rejection hotline number is probably getting rejected for a reason. Sounds like you found out what that reason is. He's an ass.

my guess is that he just didn't want to call you, and was too much of a dumbass just to be honest about it.

WOW. Everyone's so harsh on him. Honestly. I mean, if he's been rejected enough to have memorized it, you have to admit he at least deserves credibility for not losing hope and continuing to ask for your number. But if he got the rejection number several times, he was expecting yours to look different, and similar digits in the corresponding places may have set him off. If it looked totally genuine, there's no telling if he may have been calm from then on. It's common knowledge in psychology. Classical Conditioning. And right now, we live in a society that makes it hard NOT to be insecure. So, even if he is, CUT HIM SOME SLACK. Look at it this way: If he gets "rejected" several times, that may have only been based on the times that he asked for girls' numbers as quickly as he did yours. How long were you talking, 5, 10 minutes? Does that say anything about the person he'll be once you get PAST the surface/initial stages of those few minutes? People need to not be so judgemental.
