People are quick to judge. I use a phone app number when I meet a person on line, 1. It's free 2. Meeting a person online can be tricky 3. It makes it harder for a hacker to hack your device 4. I have to build that trust with someone I meet on line before giving out my real number

So I decided the take the personal chat off site and on to Google chats. When asked for my personal number I have them my phone chat number. If you look up my information it still comes up with my name. But this person must have looked up that phone number and called me a scammer and blocked me on Google chats. WOW! That came after they told me they were proud of me after I shared something that I do. To me that makes me think they are double minded or they were some type of person who couldn't jack me some how. But if they were really looking.to.fime a relationship, it just simply shows me they are not the one and closed minded. Instead they could have asked me about it with what ever they found on there end. Quick to pass judgement. But I don't blame them either. What's your thought about using a phone app number to meet and get to know someone?

Whatever makes you comfortable then that’s what you should use and find someone who’s comfortable with it too:thumbsup: .

Normally people that use WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. are considered scammers and most sites will ban you if you ask someone to go offsite.

In fact read the safety guidelines on here, keep asking and you may find yourself getting banned.

Sites are starting to finally crack down on the frauds and you may get caught up in the crack down.

I was asked to go off site and after a few times with replies she asked if I had a personal phone number.

They love to get your personal number then using Spokeo or People Finder they can back trace you and start getting all your info.

That's when a woman gives me her number on here I always warn them about that and then look it up. Normally it is nothing like the profile.

What thinking woman would freely give her number to a total stranger? Hell she might as well give out her address while she is at it.
Makes it much easier for the stalker that way
