Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I (23M) have been going to the gym for the past year and putting on some muscle. And I honestly think I look a lot better than before. I'm not huge or anything, but I've definitely put on some lean muscle and my face has leaned out.

I'm only just starting to get to good levels of bodyfat that it affects my face, so only within the last month or so I've seen differences in my face.

So I went out shopping recently and while I was in a store, I saw a woman who looked to be in her (mid 20s?) near me, she made eye contact with me and smiled. I smile back at her, so I go back to looking at clothes and she approaches me and says ''hi''.

She then introduces herself and says that she thinks I look really good, I say thanks and we chat for a bit. She then asks for my number and I give it to her, and then we depart.

Anyway, I gave her a fake number. I was surprised by a few things:

First, that she approached me. This has never happened before. But I loved the validation/attention I was getting. This made me feel really good

Second, she asked for my number instead of social media (Insta/Snapchat/Facebook)

The reason I gave her a fake number? Because even though I found her attractive, I can't be bothered to actually get to know her and pursue her. However, I did enjoy the validation, AITA?
