I too tend to be very cautious when giving out my phone!

I am comfortable taking things slow with emails working towards phone calls. With all good things there has to be patience and it's taken me a life time to learn how to be just that.

I normally would only give my cell number and not my home phone number.


And you can block callers to the cell line

I had a problem once. but I wait maybe a week or so of at least one email a day before i give it out. the problems i have had are after i met them. he was stalking me.. once he had gotten my moms number for something.. knew i was there on christmas and called my moms!< my wonderful brother gave him moms number.. this is when i was with a boyfriend too. i met him before i was in this relationship.. he had come to my bf house as well when i lived there.. anyhow.. he was trying to cause problems cause he knew we were in a fight and i went to christmas to my moms by myself.. tried to make it look like he went with me! jerk! he called our mutual friends to find out where i was cause i did not answer his calls at home.. he left me many messages.. finally he quit calling.. i did not change my number.

I have Metro and they have a service called BlockIt that you pay few extra dollars per month and it will block any number you want

It's actually $1 to block unwanted or any number you want

First of all....this question is not for myself.

A friend of mine recently decided to try internet dating. But, she is very nervous about giving out her phone number when it comes time to talk on the phone because of what happened to me last year. I ended up having to change my phone number after giving it to someone. I think this is not that big of a deal considering I have been meeting both men and women online since 2008. One annoying person in 4 and a half years. No biggie.

So, have you ever had a problem after giving out your number and how long do you usually wait to give it out?


Yes I have had a few problems. One from a woman trying to find an ATM that looked like a man. The other from women who could not take we are not a match/fit for an answer. They were so desperate that any man would of worked for them, it just so happened I was the one at that moment.

I usually will step it down to to IM first, then go to number. If I am unsure I use a VOiP phone service that gives me a free #. It forwards to my phone so I can get calls and texts (just not pictures). I can block them on the computer and it is done.

To avoid giving your number out to soon, but you want to make sure that person is real...GMAIL (googlemail.com) you can call from your computer to there phone. and no call backs until your comfortable. If you don't know how to do it I can walk you through the steps.

I like this idea the best then you can get comfortable with them without the risk!
