i have discovered usually the ones who give out their number that soon are the fast moving type. They want to get right down to business, whatever their business might be.

I usually ignore them. They need to at least write a little something first.


I agree. Why would I would to cold call someone?

After a few e-mails or chats I will usually offer my cell # to a woman instead of asking for hers. This is the internet after all and I want to make the woman a little more at ease by offering my # and letting her know she can block her # if she would like. Can't be too careful these days.


I must admit, even after I have gotten to know someone, I’m never the first one to give out my number...nor will I ask for his...I will wait until he offers.

Sometimes I think that guy's are too quick to give out there numbers.


Usually waiting implies he's actually interested to take things further. I need to learn from you mama. bigsmile

I think they are quick in some cases: hookups, etc. But with the one you've had a few decent conversations with, its worth it to see what happens next.


Yeah...not sure if I would recommend that laugh

He seems decent and someone definitely worth getting to know better but he's in the US and I'm not...sad laugh


Might as well be on different planets, that's too bad.


You say that and there was a time when I would have readily agreed with you but I don’t now....I’m pretty open where location is concerned obviously it will be with the view that one of us would be willing to relocate.


If I could I would. It just depends. That comment was said to me recently and I really did disagree with it for the most of part. Nothing is ever too far away, not if we don't choose to be.

under what circumstances would you give out your number?



If you are scary enough, it don't matter.


Oye...who you calling scary? laugh

I believe that there can be more than one great love in my life...I’m just not willing to limit myself in order to find him. And yeah, it could crash and burn but then again, it might not.

Now you are giving me a complex. Do I look more stupid than scary? Oh, darn. Now I got to get a rent a shrink.

I've come to realize that if I want to get to know someone who is local, it's best to not spend a whole lot of time back and forth online. It's easier to meet sooner (not immediately) but within a week if possible. So, a phone number would be given out fairly quickly.

I don't know..how do you think you look? Isn't that what shrinks do? Get you to validate your own existence in your own words...

Your asking someone who tends to stop people and ask them if they have seen me walking around anywhere.

I went out looking for myself in the 60's, got lost, and have been seeking help ever since.

And shrinks, I think they get paid to justify their own existence.

I have met a few braggarts now and then who claim they have seen me. I pity them the most. That is insecurity.

Oh..I ‘found’ myself a long time ago. It just took ages to like and accept the person that I found – didn’t need a shrink for that...just good friends, loads of alcohol and thousands of ciggies :smile:

This has happened a few times before but the other day, I got a random email that included this guy’s mobile number.

I would be lying if I said that I haven't called/texted a complete stranger but nowadays, I won't 'cold call' or give out my number - I’m attached to it and wouldn’t want to change it because I gave it out carelessly but It did get me thinking...under what circumstances would you give out your number?




Being in business, my personal number (a land line) is published in both a phone book and on my website. It is also on my business cards.

If you are in business, and do business on the Internet, you have to be available for contact or people are not going to send you their money for your product.

But do you differentiate between your professional life and your dating life i.e. are you like others and “whore” out your number because it’s in the public arena anyway or are you more cautious because it’s your personal life?

Yeah I think there is more than one. I've fallen in love more than once. Just a cookie cutter imagine of my dream man will distract me from living in general. Those fantasy thoughts really blind you.

Why is that?


Just hard to find people really interested. It is amazing how little attention people have anymore. An example just today for example, sitting for lunch with a friend and trying to talk about some stuff to do with music and have an actual conversation... but since he was trying to hold three other "conversations" by text, it was pretty had to get anything out of him save some "uh-huhs" and some "yeahs". And I find the same problem both online and over the phone, it is like everyone is multitasking and barely concentrating on what is in front of them. It is not so big a problem that I will stop talking to them, but it makes me yearn for a time when I used to could sit for lunch with someone and have a really interesting conversation. I can't speak for anyone else, I just don't see it anymore.

I was watching Ice-T's and Coco's new reality
TV show.
And I found this absolutely astounding.

He runs a HUGE empire, she is busy night
and day.
And they share ONE phone.
Just the one.

Reason?
To stay closer to each other.
Oh my.
I loved it.

I can agree with this sentiment to some degree. I've fallen in love a couple of times, but things just always fell apart. But I still hold to that belief that although there may be multiple people I can fall in love with, there really is only one person for me. Or at least I like to think. :tongue:


You say that and there was a time when I would have readily agreed with you but I don’t now....I’m pretty open where location is concerned obviously it will be with the view that one of us would be willing to relocate.


I went through a several year relationship with a woman in Canada actually, so in my case distance was no object. In afterthought maybe it should have been, but that is what experience is for I suppose. I still don't see it as an issue but now I just am a little more cautious.

Sorry to hear that. I have conversations with people all the time. Sometimes serious, sometimes silly, sometimes about things that don't make sense. I couldn't imagine not having real conversations often.
