Sure she seemed interested — but did you get those digits though?
Digits means: ; especially, the one that belongs to a potential dating partner.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts.

A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
