It happened yesterday and I’m still cringing at what I did. There’s this guy at my gym I’ve been lowkey crushing on for months. We’ve exchanged smiles and spotted each other a few times, but I’ve been too nervous to actually make a move.
Yesterday he came over during my cooldown and we started chatting about our routines. The conversation was going really well. Then he said “Hey, would you want to grab coffee sometime? Can I get your number?” I completely panicked like full on panic. My heart started racing. I’ve been imagining this moment for months but when it actually happened, I just froze up. I started stammering out what I thought was my phone number but I was so flustered that I mixed up the digits. He smiled and said he’d text me later and then he walked away. I stood there for a minute trying to process what just happened, then realized I’d given him a completely wrong number. I panicked so hard that I basically sabotaged myself.
Now I don’t know if I should approach him again and explain what happened or just pretend it never happened. He probably thinks I wasn’t interested and gave him a fake number on purpose. How do I fix this without looking like a pos?
TL;DR: gave my crush the wrong number at the gym

Yes, the next time you see him tell him you were exhausted from your workout and you think you gave him the wrong number, he’s obviously interested in you if he asked for your number.
Easy fix in my opinion, don’t compound one mistake by making another!
You could, you know… Go up to him and explain that you messed up the number. And then get his in the process.
Why would a simple mistake make you like a piece of shit? If anything, not going up to him and fixing things would be what makes you look like a pos.
You approach him at the gym and tell them you think you input the wrong number and if he still wants to get coffee with a goof, you’d like to give him the correct number.
Next time you see him at the gym, walk up confidently and say “why haven’t you texted me yet?” He’ll say he did, wrong number, etc. So then you confirm your number and act like it was an accident but he knows you’re interested.
Maybe just talk to him, it’s pretty funny and a great way to break the ice.
Everyone is recommending admitting the error and regiving. Id go one further and ask for HIS # and then instantly text then and there. Now he 100% knows its not a ghost, and you are interested.
Us men need to be beat over the head with the most obvious signals inorder to realize someone is into us.
“It’s a new number and I still haven’t memorized it.”
No worries. Approach him next time and tell him . Dont wait until he approaches you
It sounds like you were overwhelmed by nerves and let the moment slip away, but now you have a chance to set things right by calmly explaining the mix-up and offering your number again, maybe even ask for theirs on the spot to keep the conversation moving forward, what do you think would be the best way to approach this without overcomplicating it?
How are you going to look like a pos that gave him the wrong number on purpose if you explain to him it was an accident and you give him the right one?
I stg, people have no critical thinking skills.
My wife gave me the wrong number when we met. To keep it short, I sent a text after we parted and didnt hear back so wrote it off. Saw her again a month later at another local event, she approached me again and gave me trouble for not calling. Got it straightened out.
