I usually offer my phone number AND tell them how to use call block so I can't see their number. I have no problem giving it out because I can always use Call Block later on or change my number if necessary, I"m not that attached to it (though it IS easy to remember). One thing I don't do is give out my cell phone number unless I have a level of trust because I can't block calls on my cell phone (Motorola V220 through Rogers, if anyone knows different let me know).

I don't blame a girl for not wanting to give hers out though, that's cricket. As for meeting someone on line, a couple three emails, a phone call, then lets set up something to meet in person. Face it, most of us are not on here looking for pen pals. I read in another thread where a POFer will not exchange numbers or even think of meeting before six months. That might work for her ( and power to her if it does ) but she would have lost my interest LONG before that because I would have thought she was stringing my along or trying to hide something.



Something's up when a freindly date feels close to a job interview.


I agree with Greymatter on that one. It's just a date for gawd sake. NOT a job interview!

Wild, I was trying to bring you around, not down. If you want the "Cream Of The Crop" has it occured to you that much of that cream has come to learn that giving out personal information prematurely can be deadly? Your wrong Frrosty, the head is not on straight on this one. If you want to talk to a willing lady you can always call a 900 number, but to pass up on a woman that exercises prudent precautions in this day and age is to pass up on the smartest women out there. NO, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING HERE. Make your own criteria, just don't whine when the restrictions of that criteria hold you back.

that is exactly what i'm getting at, this paranoid culture, screw it! If someone is going to do bad/evil they are going to do it anyway, so why worry about it. If you can't put a foot forward from the beginning and give me the benefit of the doubt right of the bat and still be a little cautious, then what's the point. getting into a possible relationship that is built on the foundation of mistrust. I have to ask whats the point?

You can't earn trust, it's impossible trust is given from the heart which becomes more powerful as time goes on as long as it is not broken.

Giving out information prematurly could be deadly? walking into a grocery store could be deadly if there is a stick up. unlikely to happen when your there. one of my hundreds of neighbours could walk into my place and steal stuff when i'm not here. it's possible, sure am not going to worry about it. I have no control over it anyway. Same as for a phone number. You could talk to a guy for 2 months to come and find out he's a serial sadistic rapist. possible yes, but what's the point of living if always in fear?

We all are going to be hurt, and eventually pass on anyway. what's the point in hiding, if bad shit is going to happen it'll happen like it or not. secuirty is nothing but a false sense of well being. how do you feel when asked license and registration please?
