GIVING OUT PHONE NUMBERS ( Archived) (55)

Jenny, is that you??? OMG YOU look soooo different now I have that SONG in my head thanks very much

Judy,
I'm relatively new to this online dating scenario, but I can completely understand your apprehensions and caution. It's a big wide world out there and we never know who we are going to potentially meet when we agree to a face to face meeting. It's up to us to protect and safeguard ourselves in the event of something going awry.
You are correct in advising your friends and family of your plans as it will be known as to your whereabouts should the question ever arise. I would think that after speaking for a certain period of time and gaining a comfort level with that other person, actual phone communication would begin. You are wise to remain cautious about your private information especially when all one needs is a telephone number and a reverse TN# search can be performed on the internet and you can be located with just those 6 digits.
The ones that push you for TMI should be an indication of someone who wants to take things to a level that you aren't comfortable with. That is both disrespectful and presumptious on their part, stick to your guns. If those red flag are raised then by all means cease and desist from further contact. A man shouldn't push you into sharing things you aren't ready to share and impatience is not a good character trait.
I know from my experience I will only give my TN# to someone whom I have a sense of trust from. It takes me awhile to fully establish that rapport and sense of comfort. I would have nothing to do with a man who tried to rush me into doing anything I was not completely comfortable with. I've spent the last 7 years being single and I know it can be a real jungle out there, so a bit of self preservation is a neccessity.

Sincerely,

Cantbe...

Dear Mitch:

Thank you so much for the compliment. Maybe, one of these days, I will attain that status....you being sure that I was of sound mind..... and I will have the privilege of receiving your phone number.



I personally believe that one of the major ways of discovering what makes a person "tick" is to read their posts. It could be fairly easy to fake a profile, but the posts, replies and comments can usually trap ya (or expose ya), if ya try to fake em.

Besides, I love being me...and, at this stage of my life, if I tried to be someone else, I'd probably never remember who I am



Who else, but
ME

I gave out my number not long ago and started getting nothing but video messages of her m**turbating. It was not a pretty sight either.

I thought it was very funny...can't help it if I'm so naive that I didn't know it was the name of a song. At least I knew the area code was missing and the numbers weren't written in the usual way.

You don't have to worry about offending me...the others will tell you....I don't offend easily. Besides, they got my back....just ask them!.

Fondly,
JUDY

Oh wow, Shinedown...I've been told about those kind of messages. Thanks for helping to show that some of the problems we have are NOT gender specific and we are all available for exploitation.


You may not have already seen my thread about the pics of penises that I receive in my mail. I just wrote a humorous reply. It just seemed easier than getting angry.

Can we block people in this site? Never had to so I never looked.

Judy

Im a Ho

Every ones got my number :)

Sounds like you have got it covered !

I won't drive any distance though, because if they don't live close I see no point, unless they want to drive the whole way.

I will give them my cell phone # and always meet them in a public place away from my home, next city over.

I've met a lot of guys there, but no one ever made round 2. No chemistry.

I don't
