How do I get his number?!
Right, so there is this boy who I like and I think he likes me too (it's hard to tell because we're both really shy) and basically I want his number so I can talk to him more outside of school (we're in year 11 by the way) but I'm way to nervous to just ask him as it would be awkward and I don't know how he'd react...
Anyway, today one of my friends said that he gave my number to this guy that I like about 2 months ago. The thing is - he hasn't called or texted me and (when I'm with him) has told people he doesn't have my number. I'm confused as to why he would just not use my number and I'm not sure if I should ask him if he has actually got my number?

With the conversations you do have at school,have you learned if you have some similar interests/hobbies/or goals? There should be some way in convo to sneak in a request for phone number related to the convo at the time.
Example, you both are talking about your favorite genre of movie and you ask him hey can I get your phone number? I want to text you a link to one of the trailers of (mention the upcoming movie). It would also be fun to be able to talk about it.
I wanna go see it and who knows, maybe we could go see it together.
Here's where you missed an opportunity, he is with you at the time he is telling others that he doesn't have your phone number. He isn't directing this statement at you but them. However you are there at the time to hear it. Maybe he wanted you to hear it hoping you'd give it to him.
No matter why he said it then, and if he really lost it,
it was the perfect time to pull out a piece of paper and start writing down your phone number as you say (mentioning the names of the other friends there that you know have your number) Well gee Kyle, I'll have to fix that. I'll give you my number. Mike here has had it for a long time, so has Steven and Julie. We're all friends. I don't see any reason not to have it." Hand it to him and give him a blank piece of paper and hand him a pen, "And while we're at it, could I get your number too? You may not come up with a creative idea like that the instant he's said it. But in a few minutes as you come up with a reasonable reason to ask for it, say something right away without letting more time go by.
Or plan an event at your house with parents permission, a Saturday movie watching time with popcorn and pop and chips or other goodies, maybe making it a pizza and movie evening. Then ask for his number so you can do a last minute check with all the friends you're inviting so you know how much pizza and stuff to have on hand.
Once you get your mind thinking and creating all these scenerios you'll find it is easier to come up with a good way to ask.
The easiest way to ask of course is directly. Its awkward yes and hard if shy. If you don't also volunteer why you asked for it without him having to ask why you want it, then its even more awkward. Its easier to have some valid excuse for asking for it and do so in the same sentence.
Good luck dear.

If he says he doesn't have your number, he probably doesn't. Or he lost it or threw it away or something.
If I were you, I'd just go talk to him then near the end of the conversation give him your number or just ask him for his.
It's normal to be nervous but if he gives it to you, you know he's at least somewhat interested, if he reacts badly then he's probably not that interested.
So the easiest way to get his number is to talk to him face to face rather than other people giving it to you or having them give it to him.

G yeah, go over to the guy and ask him, " hey, buddy, how ya doin'? I'm just wondering, can i have your number?" Or " would you be interested in exchanging numbers?"
I actually once wanted someone's number so i asked my whole class to write down their number so i can type up a class list for everyone, and it was awesome, cuz i had everyone's number
