| Would you be suspicious if someone only gave you their cellphone number n not their home number??
Posted: 7/4/2006 9:54:41 PM | Most men won't have trouble giving you their home number......I've given
out my home number to some very beautiful women - and why not? I don't mind
being stalked by a hottie! ;)
From my experience people who have REAL MONEY ALWAYS have both a cell
and home number....i work for a financial institution. With a cell phone
being lost or stolen, you're disconnected from the world and people
with money ALWAYS need the connection.
But this isn't about money.....I'm only saying it's a red flag for perhaps other
issues maybe surrounding LACK OF COIN. | |

Good idea. People don't realize there are disposable phones for $20 at Walmart loaded
with minutes. Who is this man you are phoning? How can you identify a man
with a phone that is untraceable???? Ladies, you better open your eye's or figure
out how to verify who he is.....perhaps his office telephone number?? Maybe he'll then
claim he can't take calls from work - RED FLAG! | |

Posted: 7/4/2006 10:41:35 PM | | well I only give my cellphone number but on this thing unfortunely its not a perfect world and its easier to give your cell as you dont have access to other imfo because of caution ..now in your particular case ..if you are upfront and tell someone you are giving them only their cell because you are cautious fine..but when you lie and play games regardless of the reasons.. you are not a honest person and he has something to hide probably married or a girlfriend..you were smart to ditch him.. good girl.. | |

Posted: 7/5/2006 6:30:44 AM | Not necessarily. There can be many problems with a person you meet from these dating sites. I've run into that myself and I've had to block people from accessing me when they turned out to be something other than they said. It may be an indicator of something, but I'd give the person the benefit of the doubt, at least for awhile. If they still refused to give out their home number after a few dates, I'd definitely be suspicious at that point.

Posted: 7/5/2006 6:37:39 AM | Personally? No.
I live with roomates, and they're always on the stupid phone, and their friends and what not are always calling. Long ago I stopped giving out my home phone number, and now I use my cellphone for all communication. I don't even answer the house phone any more. For many people, it is inconvenient or unwise to use the home phone--and it could be for any number of reasons. So no, I don't think it is particularly suspicious. | |

Posted: 7/5/2006 8:40:04 PM | ^^^^not my problem...they should get a house phone. i refuse to call anyone on their cell..so annoying when it cuts out....not to mention..they have run out of minutes..my gawd..give me a break..lol.
i just dont give my number out to anyone....we communicate a few times online...then we meet in person in a public place..busy one that is....an if all goes well....then i give my number to him as i see fit. my cell is used for personal friends an family...along with work related...so i dont give that out to anyone.

Posted: 8/15/2006 9:59:19 AM | | Well, I know for me when I give my cell when I first start talking to somebody it's because the notion dawned on me that when you give out your home number the other person can do a reverse phone look up if your listed, and get your home address...Scary thought isn't it?!? When I first start talking to someone I certainly don't want them knowing my exact address, ya never know they could be stalker or something. Once I know the other person isn't calling my cell phone 50x a day and leaving tons of messages..Basically if I can trust them with my cell, meet them in person. Then giving them my home number isn't so bad. | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:03:48 AM | Sounds like you made the right call in your situation--definitely some very questionable behaviour there! However, I wouldn't be suspicious of every person who prefers to give out a cell phone number over a home number because people do it for different reasons.
I give mine out because:
1) that is where I am most likely to be reached live
2) nobody gets my home number until I'm comfortable with them
3) with the reverse look-up option available, most home address can now be traced through the home phone number
So in my case it's for reasons of convenience, security and safety.
Now, in addition to what you described above, if I only have someone's cell phone number as a way to reach them and they always have it turned off when they are not with me yet they keep it turned on to accept calls whenever they are with me, then I would be suspicious! | |

Posted: 8/15/2006 11:45:36 AM | | I dont have a cell phone and dont plan on getting one anytime soon. I have no problem giving out my home phone number to who I am dating/seeing. I think it is more appropriate to give your home phone # if you do have a home phone. If you have a cell and home phone#, give your cell and home #. If you are truly 100% single and have a home phone# there is no reason not to give your home phone# out so you can be reached at home. Just to let people know I dont give my home phone # to just anyone, hense it doesnt ring very much, just important people i know and i pay my bills so no creditors hounding me thank god. Anyways I am considering safety being careful who I give my home # too, and i know which friends usually call me so i never need to avoid any phone calls at home and i check my messages regularly if i need to be reached if its important. | |

Posted: 8/16/2006 1:52:25 AM | I havent had a home phone since 1997. Why just a cell? well back then cells were pretty expensive and having my home phone sit on my counter costing me money, as much as my cell, and not doing anything PLUS long distance fees, and the fact I am away from the house far more often then I am AT home and cant take my home phone with me, and the convenience of being able to use my cell phone on the road to call for help whenever I happenned upon an emergency, I just didnt see a need to pay for both when the cell was the most used.
Another issue is principal, Inside line house wire maintence fee? no thanks..I can wire my own phone system. 911 Fee? that was "supposed" to be a local fee JUST to cover the "start-up" fee for having 911 in your area, then it turned into a permanent fee, not only that, you are charged the same fee on your cell phone which is NOT assigned to an area and I dont like being charged twice for the same thing.
Then there were solicitations. clogging up answering machines or just annoying call and callback repeatedly for 5 minutes until you answered the solicitor. Cell phones were illegal to call to solicit on back then. For MANY practical and prinicpal reasons, I saw no need for two things to do one job that one was doing a much better job at. If you take offense to that because I dont have a home phone? then you dont need my number...ever
I dont play phone tag with a home phone, and I wont get one to make you feel better or because someone feels I should have a home phone for THEIR convenience. | |
