Phone Numbers

November 01 2009

When is it ok to give your phone number to someone over the net?    I myself do not give out my number unless I have been talking to a guy for a while and get the vibe that they are genuine. I few times in the past I have regreted this as the guy is question turned out to be fake or all talk. Other times If the guy is in Hervey Bay for just that week or a few days and we chat online for a while then decided to meet (and I think they are genuine) I will give out my number after only a day or so. So far this approach hasnt backfired and all guys iv met this way have turned out to be great guys. Its bloody confusing lol   So do you give out your phone number? If so when? and how long do you have to talk to someone before you get the idea if they are fake or not?

    I give mine to those I want to meet..can't be anymore serious than that.Hell I'd even give you my number if you like,in fact..I think I already have ;) Working for a phone company,I know the law regarding use of mobile numbers & the privacy act.I'm not worried if people have my number as I know how to counter act any malicious intent from someone.Besides...I'm still waiting for one of the 250+ people on here I've emailed to even bother calling me or texting me on it!!! I'm over email ping pong that never goes anywhere,and bugger all bother to go further than msn chat...which only 10% of the female population have & most of them can never get it to work as opposed to 100% of the male population.Must be a blokey thing...

    Hard to know when really. Why don't you ask for theirs and then you ring them?? That is what I do. I wont meet unless I have had a phone chat as i can tell a lot from them and i have been given false numbers in the past, so if they are giving out a false number then they are probably not going to show up to meet me. I can't tell you how you can tell if a guy is not genuine as you are dealing with a different situation and age group to myself. I can tell a lot from a call and i am usually 99% right. Good luck.

    have kept a seperate phone since i seperated from my partner, i find that way you can screen the calls and cut out all the telemarketing crap from these sites, (a) because i don't want issues of stalkers or wierd phone calls in the middle of the night and (b)i like to get to know someone before letting them into my life where i am accessible 24 hrs a day.

    i have stupidly given my number out  a couple of times.the first person i gave it to i still talk to and enjoy the company, so it was okbut the next was a big mistake, sent me messages and would call at all hours of the day or night and block his number so i didnt know who it was and i had to answer coz my younger sister has a private number and can call anytime. pissed me off a lot needless to say i dont talk to him anymore, he even asked me to set up a female profile for him. i dont think so!!!!!!!!there have been a few others but they have all been good. i suppose there are so dickheads about but the majority are good people. i suggest getting the numbers and calling them, as said by the rest.i follow my gut feeling, it usually knows whats best.xxxx
