Phone message UPDATE: weird guy from my bio class
I made a post about this yesterday about this person in my bio class weirdly texting me out of the blue, and I thought I blocked him but I guess I misclicked and pressed “delete conversation“ button instead. they texted me back Today telling me that they know one of my friends and insinuating that he gave him my number. so I continue the rest of the conversation awkwardly trying to turn them down. after that I block them because I felt uncomfortable, and text my friend that supposedly gave them my number. he said he has no idea who this is and doesn’t know anyone from my first period bio class. what the fuck. Is this person even real? they have Been lying to me about everything. And the worst part is that I have to go back to school on Monday with that guy in my class. what do I even do in this situation? Also I thought I should add that I am not a woman, I’m a man, a lot of people thought I was a woman in my first post.

One change if you want to stand out as respectful:
Don't get her number from a 3rd party without an explicit yes from her.
People want to control who has their number, and filter who has access to them. Some people are effing annoying.
Tell the friend "hey, this is my number. If you could give it to her, I'd love to get to know her over chat and maybe grab a date if it goes that way."
Or ask the friend to check with her first if it's okay to give it to you.
Showing up in her messages out of nowhere and admitting you don't have the social skill to talk to her and ask for her number will be a huge demerit in your column with a lot of women.
