doubt everyone is a serial killer or rapist...lighten up
Yeah but all it takes is one...
Get the guy to give you HIS number, and use *67, or your cell. Don't give out your home phone# until you feel comfortable.
In most situations, the smart thing to do is to meet in person first in a neutral public place. I don't think you can put down a hard and fast rule about when you move to going to one another's houses.

Posted: 4/9/2007 5:21:10 PM | | Dateline is definitely the way to go. I've never seen a cell subscriber's address in the reverse directory. Don't be so afraid just because somebody is online. You're here. We've all had bad surprises from people we've dated for long periods. Knowing sombody a long time is no guarantee. | |

Posted: 5/5/2007 9:35:48 PM | I think if you've had a comfortable conversation with them (in person, particularly) and wouldn't mind talking with them agian, be sure to let them have your number. If you dont, you WONT be talking with them again for sure.
Give your number to someone online ONLY as a necessity. Like they're meeting you or you've told them to call you, or they're waiting on a specific phone call from you etc. | |

Posted: 5/8/2007 4:27:34 PM | this is one mainy for the guys but anyone can respond.
Just went back and re-read my post. What I forgot to include is whether it was before or after they ask.
Is it considered improper to give my number to a guy, before he asks? Should I always wait to be asked or is it OK to volunteer a business card to someone I'd like to talk to again? | |

I guess some of you have no idea how the internet really works,,if someone wants to find info about you it is very easy to access your ips adress from any dating site,,there is a back door to all these sites,,so much for not giving out your #### I can't tell you how its done because that's againts the law...
Wrong. I work in I.T. and unless you pay good money for a dedicated/static ip there is no way to trace it as ip's constantly change each time you access the net. And those who do have dedicated ip's have them for a reason and those are the ones who usually have firewalls, so you'll have to get by the gateway or vpn. | |

Posted: 5/9/2007 12:16:41 PM | I don't know, this is a good question.
I'm the sort of person that would rather meet than spend time on the phone. Without a meeting, there's no way to know if there is a 'spark' or whatnot. Email and phone doesn't do it. That's not to say I don't like talking on the phone; but to be honest, if I get an email from an interested person here, for example; I'd rather just meet for dinner/convo than invest a bunch of time emailing/on the phone. It's public, it's safe for both parties and then you don't have to worry about anything and you know pretty quick if you're interested in the other person or not.
I tend to be very honest, if I'm not interested in the other person, I'll politely tell them so. I've had a lot of people 'hide' their true appearance through their photos online, or use dated pictures; so I like meeting in person, it just saves so much time and worry and hastle; if you like the guy and are comfortable with him or interested; well set up a couple more dates via email. 3 dates that someone suggested earlier sounds like a good idea.
Or depending how late/early the first date went, maybe then :) The point is as long as you're comfortable with the person, that's when you should give your number out.
Hope this helps! | |

Posted: 5/9/2007 9:22:49 PM | | You have to set your limits on that, whenever YOU feel comfortable is the time to give out your number. I personally am not affraid to give out my number, If I am comfortable enough to be emailing, why not talk on the phone!!!!! | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 1:14:42 AM | since i have yet to organize a date using mental telepathy (although i have been practicing diligently) i am, alas, still restricted to the use of my telephone. hence i usually find it is necessary to be able to call the girl in question.. which, to my surprise, generally requires i know her number. so i would appreciate it if the girl didn't wait until the 3rd date before she gave me her number...
i am certain i am missing something in this thread... | |

Posted: 5/10/2007 1:29:34 AM | Go with your instincts. That's all you really can do.
There is no real set time. With some people you may feel comfortable within a much shorter (or longer) period of time than with others.
Use your intuition!

Posted: 5/20/2007 7:33:52 PM | If i'm meeting someone from the internet. I have to talk to them a while via the phone before meeting with them. I need to hear their voice. Pictures just dont cut it for me. Webcam is nice too, but I cant say I have to see that since I dont have one.
But I use a cell only. And the number can easily be changed. Or I can hit ignore. :D | |

Posted: 6/16/2007 3:00:17 AM | lol get a grip just give out your phone number and if you dont get along and it doesnt work out they wont bother to call anyways.. if they do just block there number use a cell.. personaly if you want to really give anything a go you need to comunicate... its that simple.. and txt chat or emails just dont cut it... I want to hear a voice .. pick up on personality some .. why waste time with three dates or two dates or after the first date .. how do you get to the first date lol waste hours of txt chat .. crap just call them you know before the computer we use to use a phone ...   | |

Posted: 9/8/2007 7:36:07 PM | | I would think that you would wait until you have met before giving the number out, and then I would think it would be best to give your cell, and some guys think you are easy or cheap if you give it out too quick, like the first or second time you chat with them...lol | |

Posted: 3/13/2008 7:20:09 PM | | I give my cell number and I do it pretty quickly. Voice and accent are a huge part of attraction for me. I don't care if they look like Adonis, if they have a high, nasally voice, or a Bronx (sorry) type accent, it's a no-go for me. | |

Posted: 4/23/2009 11:42:35 PM | I'm confused on this too. I have guys that I have barely talked to online already asking for my number! Uh, that's a little too soon for me. Then I had a good connection with one and he was blowing up my phone. What's the deal?  | |

Posted: 4/24/2009 1:54:04 AM | | Who goes out on a date without talking to the person first on the phone, that is complete nonsense, if you're willing to meet someone in person and not willing to give your cell # you have problems. | |
