In a way, it's already asking the person to open up and give you something of themselves, and they may not want to do that or be ready to do that. I have been asked for my phone number by guys who I was really not at all interested in; they either were not perceptive enough to see it or didn't care. At the same time, it's an outright rejection to say "No, you can't have my phone number," so what does the nice girl/woman do? Here's where the cop-out answer comes in: "Uh, I don't have a phone," or, "Well, I'm not home most of the time. . ." This other way, if the other person really IS interested, s/he'll call. If not, s/he hasn't been pushed on.
