After many messages over a long period of time I have asked three women on here for their phone numbers. Two of them have given me their numbers no problem, one of them seemed very reluctant so I didn't ask again. Strangely enough, its the one who's number I didn't get that I am planning to maybe visit.

Is it the sense of the unknown drawing you to her, or is it just that she comes over better in messages?

No, its the fact that I may be driving past her house in the near future and after talking to this person for nearly a year now, by mail and on the forums, I am just curious to meet her. I must say I have made it clear this is just on a friendship basis as I dont do dates. In fact there are many on here I would like to meet, male and female.

Sommerauer71: I have been inspired, which is usually dangerous.
If you chat to a person via email, here and you want to progress to the next stage of conversation, would you give your phone number out?
YOu see, I do, because I like conversation, with a person I would like to get to know better.
I ask this, because some people are reserved about giving out details, if a person is loathe to give out phone numbers, then I do not take them seriously and cut contact.
I am an oddball like that, but why waste time and not move it forward to the next level?
Thoughts please....
I am very careful in giving any detail out...
My phone number i didnt give out for a very long time...
I stayed on here and studied him very well and through email...
I have 2 boys i have to think about..just not myself...
I need to trust before i give anything...
I know people will give out their number the next day...

Hi KMD
I understand completely, children to protect and so on.
For me, I find it hard to build up any trust from written text, one guy offered me his number straight away, I think that is important, he has not asked for mine, I can withold my number, but he has given me the opportunity to call him and I respect that.

So easy to misinterpret via written text, what a person means, that is why I like to have a conversation.
Also, I can tell alot by a person's voice.
Good for you...I'm like you too...keep my boundaries and don't let anyone past them....
