If you're not having sex with him/her what does it matter if they're married?

You cannot be "friends" with a married male?

(Yipes....believe this should possibly be another thread also....so OP if this is offensive to your original OP...please advise, and I'll put it on another thread...)

I live at home, and the people I live with HATE when I get calls all hours of the day and night from girls.

Being christians, they are already not amused that I am polyamorous, a hypnotist,among other things....I wonder what they would say if I told them some of the *places* I have *entertained* company

Yeah, it's privacy, convenience, and much mroe personal. Home phone is public property!

I would not give out my home number to any man I just met, I have two cell phone, I will give those numbers out...but my home number is different, I have kids, and even though they are older..18 and 20, they dont need to answer the phone to some random guy calling, its more of a respect issue to my kids, I dont have a man at home, and once I see where the relationship will go then I will give it to him. I also don't bring men to my home until I feel confident in what we have.

I don't have a home phone. I couldn't see spending the extra money on the service and a long distance carrier that's required to avoid getting slammed. Not to mention all the solicitations that go along with it. Gentlemen get my cell phone number along with the schools, doctors, and work.

Thats right! Everyone has the same # for me!

Why does there always have to be a reason to question or dout others?

In my case it's for accessibility, giving a woman a cell phone number is my way of telling her she can reach me at her convenience. I have a land line number at a house I live in alone due to divorce thats in the wrong location, I hope to return to where I belong soon, then I might give my land line number too.

I don't have a home phone number, it's cheaper to just use my cell phone that has unlimited minutes, because work pays for it, then have a home number and none of my friends or family have ever call my home number when I had a home phone.

Most people these days don't have a home phone....or don't want to give it out with the possibility of someone doing a reverse phone check for an address(Stalkers)....Plus people usually always have their cell with them and can be reached at all times..

I don't know if the person I am talking too is a stalker or psychotic...that is why I won't give out my phone number. The only time it would be an exception if she and I are dating and there is a possibility of a relationship. But then again I don't give out my cell phone number to anybody just like that have to know who I am dealing with and if the person is on the same intellectual level as me before we exchange numbers.

I am just playing it safe because there are so many crazy people out there and have to be cautious.

Also if they give their house number they could be showing that they still live at home.. if they do hehehe

if they don't, rarely do people have a lan line unless it's for a business. And someone you just meet while boozing shouldn't be calling your business line.

Personally, I never give out my house number unless I know someone really well. Until then, my cell number is all they get. I'd imagine the same is true for alot of people.

Either they do not have a homephone or they just want to keep on their anonymity until they know the person better.
Either one makes sense to me.

Are we talking just on this site? If I'm gonna give my number to someone on here, I give my cell phone number because :

1- You don't know them well enough to know if they're a nutcase or not.
2- I live with my mother and her boyfriend currently. I don't feel overly comfortable with the fact somone could call and have them answer, until I get to know them better. I don't know.
3 -Texts

That's all I can really think of. I'm not taken.

if someone is acting shady in other ways that makes you think they may be taken, then that's different. But, giving a cell phone number instead of a home number is nothing. It's like the norm now isn't it?! It's the safest option anyway IMO.

1.I never answer my house phone; it's there just to use my computer.

2.It would be easy to get my address if I gave you my house phone #. Do I really want you knowing where I live right away? What if you're some kind of crazy stalker b_tch?

3.I'm never at home to answer it anyway. Working and hanging out with friends take up a lot of time.

4.My house phone is corded. If I do answer it, I am stuck in one place. On my cell I can move around the house or kick back in bed to talk.

How about because I can shut my cell phone off when that phyco refuses to stop calling and texting. Saving me from loss of sleep and missing calls from my kids or work. Which call the house phone.

I only have a cell phone. When I'm on a date it's turned off. Sometimes so is my date.
