Please do not take this in a sexist way. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but there are some generalizations that DO hold true.
Hi, welcome to the world of being "empowered"... you'll learn that when YOU are making the move you get shot down once in a while. When you are the one being hit on , you know where they stand ( i.e, they are interested ) and can make the choice. However, you iniated contact by eye-contact and smilling ( usually the ONLY way a guy can tell interest until actual conversation occurs ). 95% of women have no idea about real rejection, as they never 'initiate' anything.
He knew you were interested just by your continued looks and smiles. It sounds like you made the point very clear, and that's why he came over. You also continued to display your interest by offering your phone number.
But... you gave him the number, he put it in his phone, and if you were memorable or very attractive then he would would have called. It is a soft form of rejection.
Anyway, I still have great respect for women to be as straightforward as you. At least you showed some interest instead of playing cold fish/hard to get on the initial encounter as to 'keep up appearances'. Good luck in the future.
PS: If I seem harsh, oh well. I have no reason to kiss people's ass on forums, and would hope that my honest opinion helps more than asskissing.
