The last few times I logged on here I have had a few messages from guys just giving me their numbers and asking me to call or text instead of chatting on here. I dont like that, I want to first determine if you are real before I give out ANY info. Any one else get that? Do you risk it just to get to know someone??







just block them. I block anyone who gives out phone / email or asks for mine within the first few messages OR bugs me with bossy requests for personal info

Talking on the phone eliminates so much bs. It is much harder to dodge questions in a phone call and that works out for everybody. Since the point of dating is to actually meet, and meeting is significantly less trivial than a phone conversation, then generally speaking, it isn't a very good omen if the other party refuses to talk on the phone.

Besides, bill collectors already know your number. Same goes for telemarketers and your boss - not to mention the people that read it off the bathroom wall. lol

yes but creeps from the internet don;t. a strange man can obtain far more information than he is entitled to with a phone number....given that he has any intelligence, that is.

Anyone who needs to push his questions on me will not have a phone conversation that lasts very long. no one is required to answer your questions. If a women is "dodging" your questions, they are not interested.

The way i work it is i have 2 cellphones. 1 is my personal cellphone for business and friends , the other for dating. The way i figure is i need to get directions or set up a meeting with a date i have this phone for and turn it off when not needed or don't want to be bothered. If the date is not good then i tell them so"being polite" and if they persist in calling or texting they are blocked problem solved!


A second phone just for dating? You must date a lot. Haha.


I do meet a lot of people that are not as selfcentered as most "not all" in quite a few states. If numbers are exchanged then i can give one! I also had it posted for awhile on here but i do guess Honorable and Honest people are Hard to find these days,or at my age category anymore? Seems most are out to cut your throat instead of hold your hand!! Is that good enough for you for an explanation??

It just seems like too much trouble to have a second phone for dating. Is there a point where they move up to your regular phone?

If they are dodging questions, they are HIDING something. If they weren't interested in SOMETHING, they would never have responded in the first place.

Phone calls establish some degree of authenticity. For example, am I actually talking to a female? Or, do they have a West African accent (scammers)? Even more, is it impossible to contact this person except on very precise time tables indicating that they may be married? Is their number local, or if not, does it fit within their story? Phone calls eliminate so much bs.

Like I said before, phone calls are trivial compared to actually meeting. If someone is unwilling to talk on the phone, then they will most likely never meet.

Of course, the question still remains when you should exchange phone numbers, but it is clear that very few forms of communication outside of a face to face or one that is on the phone will elevate trust much further than what was initially established in the first email. After all, the second and third email can be filled with lies as well.

Only 2, I have to meet you then trust you. I do know me and you know you but trust is a must!! To meet shows willingness "this i have not seen here"! And most have at least 2 cellphones now they are cheap enough now.Better than your email that is listed to even be a member on any site!:wink:

nope, don't currently own a cell phone, and even when I did, I only gave it out once



I never give out the land lie because it isn't my own and I don't give out other peoples numbers without permission,,,

Are you kidding? It should be a requirement for all user names to be telephone numbers and profiles to be complete listings of addresses, work places, and top ten places to find us at any given time. Throw in bank accounts and social security numbers for good measure. How could anyone possibly go wrong? We can all stalk and rob each other!

All jokes aside, I occasionally get messages from people giving me their number or e-mail address before ever actually speaking with me... in those cases I just delete the message since getting to know me obviously is not in the agenda.

People can still be cautious about giving out their number. I wouldn't give mine to random people who asked before even attempting to chat here
