Give my number out on a web site... are you kidding me?.. I not only do that, I have billboards with my number on ever major highway. I have planes writing it in smoke

I'm desperate!!!!

Do you ask why men wanna you number because he wanna believe you don't fake

agree ... but you still do not know them until you talk in here for awhile ... then take there no. and call them ... and talk and meet somewhere in public...if you think they might be right for you ... just for the last call I made ... really new I had not been the one for him ... which was fine by me ... sometimes its hard and you have to meet them and give them that chance ... but so far ... I have not met anyone ... I had any thing in command with ... and that is being polite... but have fun on the journey...

If you don't want to be known any way leave the forum. this is for dating how can you hide everything about think you will get what your here. I doubt you being normal

You can use the Burner (or similar) app. It gives out a fake number if you're suspicious but not 100& convinced it's a scam.

TY for moving my comment here about my concern about giving out my phone number. I never thought about other concerns and oops I might regret later moving off of here. In the future, I won't do. From a couple of experiences, I can already say NO don't give out your phone number, keep your facebook, twitter or other places confidential until you are in a relationship with who you meet if approached for favors to buy things or give money "red flag". If you share a meaning conversation and share your financial hardships, how little you live on and all the things you go without because you don't have money and then they hit you up for any favor requiring you to purchase anything or ask you for money did they really listen to you in the first place? Scammers I am learning come with praises, compliments and sexy smile with saying all the right words a lonely woman or person wants to hear. You can accept their compliments while keeping your checkbook closed. Since I show the respect to never ask for money they should do the same. As I learn more and more about Mingles2.com it is actually becoming a pretty nice way to meet people. There are some really nice people who use this site. Even a few who look after you and offer tidbits to protect you from scammers. I just got my first hit for a favor today to buy something for someone and when I explained my no he no longer wanted to talk to me tonight so maybe he was trying to find another person who could do this for him. When a person claims to earn 90 times more than you why would they need to hit you up for money! Something just isn't right there. Yet, I would and never would ask this person for money. Maybe this is how scammers stay rich - they prey on the foolish and kind-hearted. Be careful and be wise. What would you do in real life should be no different then what is done online. What I am saying is if you meet someone at a local bar and they ask for your phone number, you could say why don't we just hook up again here in two weeks. See if they show up, offer to meet again in two or three weeks. Do this several times getting to know this person. Then maybe in a few more meetings, you can decide wife they are worth meeting for coffee or asking them if they'd like to meet for dinner. You can set up a date at that time. It is okay to get there phone number without giving yours the first time around. You can confirm the date using SKYPE or another program. In the same way here if you do make arrangements to meet locally you can confirm the date here on this site.

Before I give out my number I want to make sure the person is real. You never know who is on the other end

First off, i r naht desperate or hard up. That said.
No, i does not give out my number to just any weirdo or deviant that lurks on any website, not here and not on fascistbook either.

Otaku I totally agree with you!

i mean not here...Bit if you meet someone in the real world .... sure.

This guy is in the realty class he has two i have three....but then how shall we get to know eachother without real time chatting......hmmm all i know even if you give out an email still you have given out a contact....it is called a dating sight coz it is...how will date minus real time talking....! If am truthful and i trust maself in what i do why not give you my number afterall we are far apart for the first time....

I don’t get why some people put their phone numbers on their profiles, literally anyone can call you. I wonder if it’s a fake phone you can use(like google voice) but not your actual phone number. I think it’s pretty dangerous giving your personal phone number especially in public like that

Any Bird on here can have me and my phone nunmber...

True

Giving a number doesn't make you vulnerable because you've options to mute or block a person that you don't like. But giving info about yourself may lead to risk

Did you see how many years ago this topic was started?

Oh OMG. This was started back in 2013 and still alive wow

I saw same thing myself and I went to lady's profile - just to take a look. I said to myself, I wonder if she is in a relationship yet, but it looks like she comes on every few weeks.

hi.. nice to meet you friend
