I'm in seventh grade theres this girl who I was friends with since 4th grade, I really like her but when I asked for her number she looked at me and said
"I need to get my cell-phone in whack" and with my luck the bell rang brfore she could say anything else. Now was she blowing me off did she not know what I meant by "Can I have your number" or was she wierded out since I'm her friend, I need some advice what should I do.

It's possible she just doesn't have a working cell phone at the moment, and as such needs to have it fixed (or as she said, "in whack").

Don't take it to mean too much. If she's your friend, it shouldn't be an issue for you to have her number. You can always offer her your phone number first, and ask her to give you a call to hang out sometime. Maybe you can suggest seeing a movie with a group of friends, as well as her, so she feels comfortable, then see how you go from there.

From second-hand experience, no one knows anything about anything at that age. She could be shy, she could be avoiding saying "no", she could be nervous and said something she didn't mean, or, yes, she could have been telling the truth.

The only way to make sure is to ask, like, ask her. Try to not settle for a mysterious answer, but you shouldn't interrogate her. Be prepared not to fly off the handle; consider all possible answers she could give and ask yourself if you really want to know.

I feel ancient now.

Could you tell anything about her from the look on her face? Also, you don't go up to a girl and ask for her number in that kind of way. -CSM

You have been a friend of hers for three years and do not have her number?

^He's in seventh grade. When I was young I didn't have a cell phone at his age, therefore we had no need for getting one another's numbers. I didn't even get a cell phone until the summer before I started high school.

I didn't get a cell phone until the summer before I started college. How's that for being behind the times.

^^None of my peoples had a cell when I was little either, but we shared home phone numbers.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Since she's your friend, and since cell-phone numbers are casually swapped by degenerate Middle School heatherns, I'd say she's being truthful. It's no big deal that you asked that.

In old country, we didn't have fancy-pants cell phones. We just banged rocks together.

You had to be rich and strong to own one. Rich, because they were expensive, and strong, because they were fifty pounds.

I remember I traded your great grandfather a bunch of goats for the right to marry your grandmother.
