| Why do guys give cell phone numbers instead of home numbers ...is that a clue they are taken?
Posted: 2/23/2009 8:18:02 PM | I only use my cell phone so it's the only number I have to give out. If you think that someone is giving their cell phone number INSTEAD of their home number because they are married and don't want to get caught by a *mysterious* woman (or man) calling, then MAYBE you should make sure you know them a little better so you can be more sure they are single. That way you'll have less of a reason to think they are attached to someone else.
Another thing: I would give a cell number over a home number because there is more anonymity (sp.?), when you give your home number, there are ways of people getting your address.
Either way, just get to know someone better before you give out your information. | |

Posted: 3/7/2009 2:25:56 AM | | I give out a number to a prepaid phone because that way I can give out a phone number instead of treating everyone a potential psycho. Is that a big deal or something? Just in case anyone is not very clear this, it requires very little to obtain all of the personal information on a person and a telephone in your name is enough. I personally do not want to give someone my home address, business address, income, every place I've lived, credit information, vehicle information, names of my relatives, driver's license number, etc. just to get a phone call. A prepaid phone is the obvious solution. A tracfone can be activated online without disclosing anything and for the truely paranoid, you can activate it from some random computer. If the only reason a woman can imagine giving a cell number instead of a number to a landline is that I might be married, then she is not only naive, but self-centered, in which case, I can live without her. | |

It is better not to give your home number at first for the worry they can find your real addy and if they are touched in the head you might be in trouble. It does not mean your hiding anything at all. After you get to know that person and you know they are safe, if they wont give you a home number get up and run away real fast! So men are not the only ones. | |

Posted: 4/5/2009 12:03:31 AM | Getting a cell phone number is not an indication someone is taken, as most have pointed out.
The days and times the person is unreachable can be!
For example, these can indicate he's taken
1) can't call the person after work, or after 7pm on some/many days
2) calls you (or you can call the person) only during their working hours
3) doesn't return your calls in a timely manner
4) disappears for days, especially on weekends
5) communicates by texting 90% or more of the time
6) when you are together, the cell phone is turned off or silent, and they are abnormally selective on answering calls
...etc. (feel free to add more)
In other words, if they are not behaving in a normal fashion, chances are there is a reason why. | |

I am very curious about this one...seems all I get are cell phone numbers....rarely do i get a home phone number...how about you????...Donna in Illinois
... There can be any number of reasons who someone doesn't give you a home #:
1) They have no home phone (which is becoming more and more popular)
2) Their cell phone is the easiest place to reach them (as it's with them most of the time)
3) They don't want you knowing where you live until they know you better (as you can easily do a reverse search to find someone's address from a phone number)
4)....OR they could be married,in a relationship, or have some other secret they're not to anxious to share (such as they live in their parent's basement or currently reside in a prison cell).
I wouldn't read too much into it for a first or second date. But generally, if someone is being secretive after that, you have reason to at least be suspicious. Have they not told you were they live (or invited you over?)... Have they not told you were they work/what they do, etc? It's understandable that people don't necessarily want you (who they don't know) instantly able to find out everything about them such as where you live (as we've all heard the psycho-type stories), but after a few good dates... if the other person is being secretive or avoiding certain topics... or avoiding sharing a home phone number which you know they have, you have every right to be suspicious and to use good common sense as to whether you want to continue to see this person and/or to confront them as to what they seem to be hiding.

this is so wrong you can do reserve search on cell phone numbers and if you can't get it from that you can pay for a service to get the information and it's not that expensive. I knew a person who did this for the wrong reason.
That is incorrect. I have a prepaid tracfone and I never supplied ANY personal information for it. It would be impossible to pay for information no one has. | |
