| Would you be suspicious if someone only gave you their cellphone number n not their home number??
Posted: 10/9/2007 1:00:31 AM | As you state your experience with a cellular guy, it is obvious you are confused about the issue.
It is not the cell phone only stuff. Lots of people only have cell phones, myself included.
And land lines can be traced to specific addresses. It is wise to be careful about that type of thing before you know someone well enough to trust.
The thing to be suspicious about is behavior on the phone. Sudden hang ups, odd times when unavailable, and so forth. Though cell phones DO drop calls from time to time. And the owners DO go to meetings and other places where they have to turn them off.
I am notorious for being courteous about switching off in theaters or restaurants, then forgetting to turn the danged thing back on.
Give me a break will ya? | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 10:31:58 AM | ran in to this problem with one guy on here......after a year of chatting still gives his cell phone , no home number, always came to my place, showed up in his gym clothes. I suspected he was married, still do....rarely answers his cell, always blocks it to call my number. Hilarious. He was very vague about a lot of stuff. I figure eventually his wife will figure things out......he does have a landline phone, says he shares it with his sister (yeah right LMAO)....
Usually I only give out my cell number, I didnt have one at first and was cautious with who I gave my home number to. Luckily I havent had any problems with giving out my number as of yet.
If someone only gave me their cell phone, that is fine at first.....however , if after several dates , no home number, I would raise a red flag. | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 10:36:51 AM | | I actually started a thread not long ago titled "I Think I Met A Married Man". I personally in being realistic here, I would not expect anyone at first to give me anything BUT their cellphone, but there are always warning signs. If you have been dating a bit and more importantly if "sex" has occurred, there is no reason why a man should not give out his home number. Maybe he is married? Maybe he has a girlfriend? Maybe he lives with his parents? Who only knows, but if someone is going to hide something from you, no matter what it is, isn't worth knowing anyways. I would say to point blank ask them for their home number, and upon his refusal or excuse, ask him if he is married, if he denies this again, then inform him to prove it or else things can't go any further, end of story. If he truly likes you, he will come clean with whatever he is hiding and both of you can go from there, if he still beats around the bush, then his loss :) | |

Posted: 10/9/2007 10:59:17 AM | geez people and their retarded thoughts about telephones. try this one
I have a line coming into my house and i have phone jacks in every room so that no matter what room i am in i can plug my laptop in and go on line.
the best part is i do not have any house phones at all. In fact i would have to call the phone company to get my own number because i can't remember it cause i don't use it.
and yes i tell people when to call me because i hate talking on the phone and i don't like phone calls interupting me when i'm eating, in the bathroom or in bed or doing something. I do have a life and i have no entention wasting it on the phone.
now hows that folks | |

Posted: 10/18/2007 6:51:59 AM | This is funny I thought we were finally over the land line thing in 2007.
I do not have a land line, I am single do not have a GF and my daughter lives with me. I have nothing to hide.
Ever since cell phone became affordable back in 1995 I gave up my land line and only had a cell phone. Back then it was funny people wanted a land line and I kept telling them I did not have one, that is the reason I did not have a American express then they did not want to give me one because I could not give them a phone number even if I proved to them that I had a house and was paying mortgage, still makes me laugh.
So does that make me strange because I cannot give you a land line number? Does it mean that I have a wife or something? Am I hiding some thing??
No I just don’t have a land line. | |

Posted: 10/19/2007 3:06:16 PM | I have to laugh. When I first posted a comment on this thread back in the first week of august (page 3), I thought it was a pretty dumb question. Now I am convinced it was.
If you aren't smart enough to figure out that the guy or girl you are dating is a schmuck, lying, deceitful, conniving, player in other ways, and have to resort to your only line of defense (or qualification) by asking "Do you have a home phone number?", then you shouldn't be dating to begin with.
I mean come on already!!! There are over 150 million cell phone subscribers in America out of a population of over 300 million. I China there are over 400 million cell subscribers. This is the age of technology people, get with the program.
Hell, even the land line companies were losing so much money to the popularity and "evolution" of cell communication that they finally decided to offer free long distance as well, as a sales pitch.
They are lucky enough to be ripping off the general public (still using land lines) with their ancillary and pointless 911 fees, taxes, line lease fees, line maint. fees, FCC fees, etc, as it is.
In 25 years no one will have a traditional "land line/home phone" anyway and you will look back on how stupid this question really is. I even entertained the idea of getting one of those voice activated phones with a 50 year battery in them that can be implanted behind the ear. It's bluetooth so you can upload your frequently called numbers from your computer, turn it on and off with a voice command, dial with a voice command, everything is voice command, but I am putting that off for another 10 years.
Ok ok I drove the point to the bone...Peace :) | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 3:29:42 AM | | YES there would be some doubt. If you get to know a person more over time and you still don't know where they live and other phone numbers they are hiding something, most likely a significant other. I have seen this first hand with a friend who met a woman over the net. She said she was divorced etc. In fact she is married and living with hubby and 4 kids, while dating several men over the net. | |

Posted: 12/4/2007 4:22:43 AM | Some people don;t ahve land lines. Like my friend Nolan but he moves a lot. And its actually more affordable and he does not get telemarketers. I personally don't own a cell phone becuase i think they are rude and annoying. People always texting eachother and spendign too much time on the phone. Nothing more rude than a date who won;t get off her cell ophone witht he texting and calling. My friends ahve so much dramam becuase their giflfriends won;t stop texting them and their relationships end. and when we go out they can;t ebnjoy theirselves ebcuase they are always sendign and recieving messages. I like to be tempoarily unavailable when I leave the house. So its not supciaious to onyl give out one type of number. maybe they live with their parents. My parents tend to screen my phone calls. And they critizize thsoe who call to much. Nothing more annoying thena girl who calls every 15 minutes and at all hours of the night. I suggest that you not make a big deal out of it. I mean would you give someone your work phone? or a house phone where you would not have privacy? | |
