| Giving Your Number Out
Posted: 4/1/2007 4:51:01 PM | Hey There
I was just wondering when would it be a cool idea to ask somebody to come hang out or give your number to somebody because I aint too sure what I should do and shit, it's something I really feel confused about.

Posted: 4/1/2007 5:20:34 PM | | If you have corresponded over a considerable amount of time, and yiou feel comfortable in exchanging numbers, I see nothing wrong with that. But the suggestion about the cell number is the best one. But alas, cell numbers can also be traced. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 6:51:29 PM | Just as important as giving out your number - your address. Make sure you meet the person at the coffee bar/restaurant/etc until you really know them. Not every one in this world is a nice person.
Be safe. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 7:23:34 PM | | I gave out my home phone number to a guy and it was almost like he stalked me via the phone. I came home from work one day and had 8 calls from him (little excessive). We were nothng more than friends so I thought. I no longer give out my home phone number. I guess it all depends now on the intent of the person and understanding of the relationship you have with them wether or not you give out your home phone number. I also agree that the first few meetings should be in a public place, get to know them better before they come to your home. | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 7:29:37 PM | | well...personally....I will NEVER go meet someone if I have not heard their voice first....you can pick up a lot if you pay attention to a person's true character much better on the phone than online. I never give out my home number but I do give out my cell number. If I have the guy's number, only then will I give out my landline because it is unlisted. What's the worst that could happen?.....I'll get harrassing phone calls ...if that happens...I call the police or change my number...but its never happened to me yet ....but one thing I will never do is meet someone without hearing what they sound like....I do have one rule though...I will NEVER meet someone at their place nor will I give out my address unless I've know the guy for at least three months | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 7:34:31 PM | | Before the first date or meeting maybe? How else would you arrange things or handle last minute lateness, cancellations or what have you. If you don't feel comfortable giving your number to the person, how could you feel comfortable enough to actually meet them? | |

Posted: 4/1/2007 7:34:32 PM | | I usually will give my email/messangers before my phone number..that way I can get to know the person so much better and if I choose not get involved or chat anymore I can delete with no worries...by giving out the phone number, you have to deal with timing, uncalled phone calls when not wanted etc etc | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 12:14:31 PM | | I will first give my email, then my messanger, & my phone number. Some men (actually most men) don't use their computers much and prefer to call. Just as long as you don't give them your address or distinctive clues about where you live, it should be ok. Besides if they start calling at inappropriate hours, you can always block them on your phone or tell them you are contacting the police. Men really need to hear a voice. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 2:13:39 PM | | Honestly after a couple of emais. Personally if I don't get a number after a couple of emails and a date after a couple of calls I move on. I have never gotten a decent date if I wait after several emails. Simply put great women know what they want and will give a good guy a chance. Women who are not ready, have issues, or are hiding something , unsure etc try to drag the emailing and phone conversation on. This only leads to disappointment. Let's face if your dealing with a nut more emails will only make him nuttier! Too many people lie unfortunately. Besides a phone call can tell you alot about a person. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 2:37:24 PM | good advice galloway...
i was chatting with a gal from out oregon way and she shared with me her secret...i guess you can buy these disposable phones at walmart that get used up after a certain amount of time...no real way to trace the number
...and a trick i know one friend uses is he meets a woman at a bar in the afternoon where he already knows the bartender...he calls the bartender and if she's a no...he gets the bartender to pass a message along saying so and so isn't going to be able to make it...cruel i know hun'...but hey, it's a cruel world out there
grampa always said measure twice and cut once...so i guess he's saying better safe than sorry | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 7:49:11 PM | Oh my, you really need to be careful. There are some not so nice people out there. The cellphone is definitely the safer. I know it is a good time to not let someone come to your home either for several dates.
So, stay safe and learn as much about the person as you can. When their stories start to not add up, it is time to get out of there.

Posted: 4/2/2007 8:09:47 PM | | Here is the best way to talk on the phone to get acquainted with the other person. "Ladies"....All you have to do is ask for the guys phone number in a e-mail; then you call the guys phone number by dialing "star 67" and then the guys phone number. This system allows your home number to not appear on caller id's so then you ladies can be safe and comfortable in talking to a guy without having your phone number to be known. | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 9:37:22 PM | TO LYNMAER
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
TO ELABORATE A BIT
I WOULD AND DO TALK VIA EMAIL FOR AWHILE UNTIL I AM COMFORTABLE WITH THE THOUGHT OF CALLING THEM AND I DO THE CALLING NOT FROM MY CELL BUT FROM MY HOME PHONE *67 COME ON LADIES AND GUYS
IT BLOCKS YOUR NO. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW THEN JUST DIAL THE PERSONS NO.
I DO AND WILL NOT UNBLOCK MY PHONE NO. UNTIL I FEEL VERY SURE I WANT TO SEE THEM THEN I DON'T BLOCK IT ANYMORE OR GIVE THEM MY NO.
IF YOU ARE NOT WITH BELL THOUGH I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY HAVE THAT FEATURE
IF THEY DID NOT HAVE CALL BLOCKING I SERIOUSLY DON'T THINK I WOULD INTERNET DATE
TO THE GIRL THAT STARTED THIS READ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING HERE NOT EVERYONE IS GOOD PEOPLE AND SOME ARE SIMPLY WIERD AND OR DANGEROUS SO BE SMART AND CAREFUL ON HERE
IF YOU TAKE THE CAUTION ADVISE ON THIS FORUM AND USE COMMON SENSE AS WELL THEN HEY ENJOY POF OR INTERNET DATING IN GENERAL
CHEERS AND GOOD LUCK TO THE GIRL THAT STARTED THIS POST   | |
