Michaelalot Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Finally, a nice guy.. good vibes, long chats.. but when should I give my phone number? I do want to talk, but everyone says it's not safe... so when is it safe?
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Have you ever given your number to a guy in a bar? Is that safer? You don't know him either. At some point you have to exchange numbers unless you want a pen pal instead of a boyfriend. If you meet, meet up in a public place and don't tell him where you live until you feel comfortable with him.
Sinister Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I always ask for a number in my third email to a gal. If she gives it to me she interested. If she writes back and doesn't acknowledge the question she's likely wasting my time. I always lose interest if they do this.
Mako482 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Just obtain a certain comfort level and go for it. If someone is asking for a number too fast tell them you rather email a little more first. No biggy.
Ronni_W Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 when should I give my phone number? I do want to talk, but everyone says it's not safe... so when is it safe? I would ask for HIS number, and block my number when I call. (Check with your phone company...I think it's *67 for my service provider BUT please do check with yours.)
Author Michaelalot Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks, guys; even in a bar I won't give my number to easily - with a phone number anyone can get my address, work place.. everything. Are there sites that let you talk through the site? Or maybe another way to talk?
Angel1111 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 That's why I like cell phones - because they can't be traced to your home address. If you have good vibes about him, then it's probably safe but I would recommend giving your cell phone # if you have one. I wouldn't give out my home phone unless you've known him for awhile, or your work number for that matter.

(Check with your phone company...I think it's *67 for my service provider BUT please do check with yours.) I agree with this. A gentleman will understand that he should give out his number so that the woman feels more comfortable and safe.

It just costs a few dollars instead of being free.
