So I got a number...

[Morpheus]

Should I text it or not? I got it from someone while I was volunteering at an animal welfare society.

Use Google Voice and proceed to prank call.

If this is someone of romantic interest, wait a few days or:

you may come off as somewhat desperate if you start texting immediately

Of someone you're interested in probably romantically?  Not immediately, you come off as somewhat desperate if you start texting immediately.

i'm assuming its a girl you like, then sure text her whenever you get the chance to meet up with her next

Noooooooooooooooooo. Get to know him/her first. Ask the person how their day was etc.

Listen to me OP.  If you want to get anywhere, ignore Yuggoth's advice.  Ignore mine if you will but just for the love of God don't take his advice on account of his inept social skills.

not just at random though, its good to do that and then ask if they want to meet up somewhere. its kind of weird to just ask how someone is over the phone and then leave it at that.

I saw her for like 5 seconds and she was like "here is my number" and then left.

Did she also say "call me maybe?"

You should call her, maybe.  In a day or two.

Why wouldn't you listen to my advice? I've been in a stable relationship since last year and I'm still with her.
Who are you with? Your army of computer screens?

My reaction.

Nicklebob knows his stuff. Just make sure it doesn't turn out to be a "dinner for idiots" type deal.

I wouldn't listen to you and suggest that others do the same because you consistently have come off as a complete friend towards multiple people here.  It doesn't matter how successful you are because you're just a complete loving moron on here.  Your comeback is cute though, but really, go forget yourself.
