You have nothing to lose other than a couple of minutes of your time by giving him a call, with your number blocked. Feel him out and then meet for coffee if he seems ok. He could be a creep that rides around playing the odds, handing out his number to random women or he could be a decent guy that liked what he saw and had enough balls to take a shot at meeting you and felt giving you his number would be better than asking for yours. Seriously, what do you have to lose other than a few minutes of your time checking him out to see if it is a green light or a red light situation? Just call him. Signed, Unjaded Older Woman ---

> [@Marylnshephards](#): > > UPDATE: > > So I finally texted him today and during the texting phase I asked him why his number was pre written and he said he wrote it quickly as soon as he saw me. > > However,it appears that he just wants to hook up because not long during the texting phase he started asking me if I am a freak in bed ,if I like to get f_u_cked and if I live alone.Does he just want sex or he is just a sexual person? That will teach me to read all 6 pages of a thread before responding. Answer: He just wants to get laid. He is playing the odds. He probably has a stack of prewritten numbers in his glove compartment. ---

The real genius of Cobalt’s strategy is that 99.999% of the time it will fail, but when it eventually succeeds, the person who responds is pretty much guaranteed, basically by definition, to be gullible, not too bright, with extremely poor judgement and zero ability to judge people’s intentions and character. Brilliant, I say! ---
