Some of the recent posts got me thinking. How trusting are you? I don't give my phone number or any personal stuff out until I feel I know someone really well. I like meeting people in person, but I don't get too close too fast. I got hurt badly in the past, and maybe that plays a role. How do the rest of you play it?

It takes a long time for me to trust anybody with anything anymore. I really doubt if I would ever meet anyone from on line again at all -- one bad experience after another -- maybe it's ironic, or maybe it's just a subconscious defense mechanism, but all of the people I feel comfortable with on line are very, very far away, and there's little chance of ever meeting in person, regardless.

Nope, not real trusting.

I guess I am trusting more so than others, but I dont hand out my phone # willy-nilly. A couple of folks here have it. But they are gal-pals.

DTA .. Don't Trust Anybody. laugh grumble

I don't tell any body noting.. only because I never spoken to.. too many people. But I wouldn't give my phone number etc, the closest thing they might get is my email address for a while until I feel differently and ready to take it a step more. But I'm in that type of pool so to speak no body wants to meet or speak to me lol, I guess it's all alright for now.

Oh well.. better alone then hurt or so I think. think

Yeah, you really did! I'm so sorry about that. It's good to know I'm not the only one that is fairly cautious out there.

The first girl I met from a dating site -- this was in 1998 -- turned out to be an arsonist.

It went downhill from there.

Cautious is mandatory!

It takes a while for me to trust someone..I usually have my guard up around people I don't know. The only people I truly trust are my family.

Giving out too much trust is dangerous and naive. Trusting people usually get dealt a crappy hand or two and then they become as cynical as the rest of us. Though some people never learn.

whoa Hummmmmmmmm I do tend to trust others it is up to them if they keep that trust or break it. But then just because I trust them does not mean my life is and open book for them. When the fact that I feel comfortable with them is when I would give them my number.

But now if they ever break that trust they will most likely never gain back to the point of trust that was once there. As they say you might forgive but......one never forgets.noway

I have a difficult time trusting myself, let alone other people.

I am not very trusting anymore.I don't even know if I can trust myself after some of the choices I have made.I just take one day at a time and try to keep moving forward.

I only give out my personal information to those who I am CERTAIN do not have an ulterior motive at work. So the short answer is "I'm not trusting in the least".
