There's no real need if I already have them on socials and can chat them that way otherwise if they're close enough friends and I feel like having their number would be more convenient, I usually give them my number first and they usually text me straight away or give me their number.
Edit - Sorry just noticed the "or other contact info" part.
I'm assuming you kinda want advice on the approach?
It's sort of the other way around, rather than the approach, I was curious about what might make someone hesitant to ask another's contact info. Should have phrased it differently, looking at the majority of the replies, but I thought the added body text might help clarify where I was coming from.
Like I completely get not wanting to read as romantically interested/flirting, or general anxiety, but I was wondering what some other situations might be.
Ohhhh right I get you now!
I can't think of many reasons that might stop someone outside of anxiety or not wanting to give the other person the wrong idea.
