text: guys, which is a better way for a girl to say no she doesn't want to give you her number? is it better for the girl to just say no (it seems mean) or give a fake number (the guy will feel good he got a #, but if he tries to call to let you save his # in your phone you look stupid cause you gave a wrong #) or give a real # but just not call back (this is sad, cause the guy will call and make you feel bad for not calling back) the best way is just be honest and say "no".he may not have your number but he'll respect you for being upfront and honest which is i'm sure how you'd rather have people see you.
