What does it mean when a guy gives you his number (instead of asking a girl her number instead) and tells you to call him instead?

It means this is a dude who has given his number to other women before, only to have them not call him back. So he's fighting game playing with game playing. He's been hurt before, or frustrated, and he's decided to give up. You have all of the power now. Traditionally, men have had all of the dating power. It was our responsibility to ask a woman out, call her with the plan and pay for the date, But it's 2010! All bets are off! Dating be keee-razy and topsy turvy!

This guy is probably a little insecure, but who isn't? Yes, he's playing a game. But the only way to stop the madness of these silly little rituals is to refuse to participate in them. In the case of this brodawg, I bet he's expecting that you won't call. Because women don't call back when you give them your number. Prove him wrong. I know many women wouldn't call him back because that's not what a woman does.

Call the guy. Play this little game, because it will surprise him that you called. Then from the get-go, be up front and honest.

or simply he may be thinking the old fashion way: "she doesn't want to give her number out so if she's up for it i am too"

To me, it means that he is probably too lazy to pursue you (either he is generally lazy in dating, or he'll be lazy in dating you)...

Or its an ego stroke for him. Guys say they want no game playing girls, but when they find one they have no idea what to do.

Isn't the beginning of a relationship a game anyway? There's all these questions, trying to figure out if you have the go ahead, make the next move. As long as you're honest, it's all good. I would say he did this because he doesn't want to hear "no". So, he says call me, that way it's in your hands, or court, or boat, or whatever have you.
