Author irc333 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 My cell is also my biz phone. So no. Not giving my real number to anyone for awhile. And you wonder why some of you ladies wind up dateless on a Sat. night.
Star Gazer Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 And you wonder why some of you ladies wind up dateless on a Sat. night. I've NEVER had not giving out my number be an issue for ANY guy I've met from OLD. And apparently, I have too many dates. 2
Author irc333 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 In fact, speaking to the date before meeting is a must for me, so getting their number happens before the date. Yeah, usually same for me here.
Author irc333 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 I've NEVER had not giving out my number be an issue for ANY guy I've met from OLD. And apparently, I have too many dates. Oh, but in REAL life you give out your phone number right?
LittleTiger Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 You must've gave out your land line....land lines are indeed traceable...but you can't find out about anyone's location with their cell phone #...the city..yes...but address...no. No, it was my cell phone! Be very careful what information you post on any website, including photos - just about anyone is traceable with very little information, especially by people who are practised at doing it!
Star Gazer Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Oh, but in REAL life you give out your phone number right? After meeting, if I know him and want to hear from him, yes.
RedRobin Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 And you wonder why some of you ladies wind up dateless on a Sat. night. I don't date strangers, and I don't do online dating... so no, I'm not wondering. Do you want to date careless idiots? Is that it?

Hm, coming back with a strawman argument I see. lol How do you think people become couples? They were both strangers to each other at one time. I go by the old saying, "Strangers are friends who haven't met yet" ;-)
soccerrprp Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Again, I have never had a woman not give me her number. Should there be a distinction made between home and cell numbers? B/c giving your cell number is considerably safer and you have more control opposed to giving your home number. None of the ladies I've dated have given me their home numbers. Now days, though, many people's home number is their cell number. Just thought about that.....
Author irc333 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 B/c giving your cell number is considerably safer and you have more control opposed to giving your home number. Exactly, I figured any kind of cell phone # would be safer than a land line these days. I've done a reverse look up on cell phone #'s before and all it ever turns up is the city...and nothing more.
xxoo Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 How do you think people become couples? They were both strangers to each other at one time. I go by the old saying, "Strangers are friends who haven't met yet" ;-) One step at a time.... What is the objection to meeting first before sharing phone numbers? You are old enough to remember life before cell phones. It really isn't so impossible to meet without. 1
Imported Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 I don't really like giving out my cell phone number either. I use disposable phones for certain situations....but they have an app for that **** now. Was thinking of switching to just using the app.....but a disposable phone is a lot more assured to not come back on me.

Author irc333 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 I tried a happy medium in asking for at least an email from her, and she won't even do that.
grkBoy Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Frankly, if she wants to meet, then meet. See what happens. If she claims she wants to meet, but keeps delaying or postponing, then simply tell her you're moving on because she's apparently not serious about meeting. If she wants to cry/moan about psychos or exes, then simply tell her you're not them and if she's serious about meeting guys, then she needs to take a step out the door and take on some of the risk. Women tell us guys we need to be confident, strong, take the chance and approach, assume the risk, but more and more I see women try to justify the idea that they shouldn't have to take any risk whatsoever. Screw that...stand your ground and show you want to date, and aren't going to waste time with indecisive women or women with baggage. This is the same thing as when women complain about liars, playas, or "little boys" on OLD.
Author irc333 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Yeah, women tell us they want a confident guy that can take risks, but yet THEY resist us sometimes. "Oh gee, I don't like to give out my phone number or email" I've been talking to this woman for a week, and she still won't give me even an email? She even postponed our date for tonight and said she wanted to get together this weekend....so this weekend may or may not be the deal breaker if she comes up with another excuse.

Frankly, she should just set up a dummy email to use for OLD if she's so scared. I agree though. This is her last chance. If she's going to flake on this, then move on. She's obviously not serious about meeting guys or meeting you. Let her moan and complain elsewhere how she can't meet guys or our all-time favorite "Where are all the good men??"
