OP I get that a lot in here ... but usually figured out ...are talking we don't have much in command ... but they seem to give it to me any way ... and I don't call ... or keep ... mine have not given it out yet ... but it is a track phone does not always work in certain areas anyway ...smiles...

Usually not bc majority of the time its a guy who wants to send a **** pic. I use a texting app for faster and easier texting.

Well, my thoughts: you ever been in a situation when you just over think, over analyze. When in fact sitting back and letting everything play out. I have had many different situations in which someone rather talk, text, snapchat, messenger. Sometimes it's much easier to use other avenues to communicate. Sometimes you hit it off with someone and it's happy feeling for both parties to msg each other. I learned to expect nothing from any type of website and hav

been much more willing to talk, chat and be myself. I mean we all have the ability to change our numbers, I actually have 3 phone numbers and 2 phones for different reasons. Mainly for my music. Again easy to block someone. But I'm not a weirdo that sends a pic of my penis to Every lady that's says hi. But honestly I have had ladies ask me to send them. Again take online dating/meeting sites with a grain of salt and be respectful. If someone wants to talk or give you there number than by all means. If someone's not interested they won't hit you up. I think it would be way better if we couldn't see anyone's picture and actually go of someone's bio. Like speed dating with brown paper bags on everyone's head. Try it out, makes you think what's really important in these crazy times being single. You're awesome

As a Melmacian, I do not understand why you Humans would be so willing to give out your cell numbers.

Obviously, Melmacians never get laid.

Nor do they ever want to.

there has been one time when giving it out was wonderful

we spent hours talking


even stayed up all night til the sunrise


there has been a time or two when it was a big mistake


and as soon as he had it

all talk turned dirty and that is all he wanted


one time I had to change my number

There's very few men that interest me enough that I actually want to talk to them, so I rarely give my phone number to a guy.

Most ask for it only so they can use WhatsApp on their phone, so they don't have to sit behind their PC/laptop to talk to you, but can do it in between hoisting beers while watching footy or Formula 1. Then I can sit and wait for 5-10 mins for a reply cos sports on telly is more interesting. Sod that!~
My reasoning... if I can't have your undivided attention during a convo, then don't talk to me.

These days I have WhatsApp on my PC, I always hated using it on my mobile, typing with 1 finger while I can type very fast on my keyboard without straining my neck and eyes. But still ain't gonna wait 5-10 mins for replies ...

It is so easy to block a number so it really doesn't matter. I am (unwillingly) using Whatsapp because of my Granddaughter. So I have used it for chatting. I prefer Skype messaging if the other person has trouble with English or when I have trouble with Spanish. It is easy to block that also, and email. Use an alias account (Yahoo has them) so even if it is a scammer and they distribute your address it isn't real and you delete it.

Bottom line NBD.

Keep in mind that most women on this site, (if in fact, they ARE women) don't really want anything close to a relationship. They just like to pretend they do. Perhaps it's because they're getting the old "When are you going to make us grandparents?" thing from their parents, or because they want to have someone to show off to their girlfriends. (See I'm not a lesbo, I really DO have a boyfriend online!") actually hearing a voice crosses a boundary they have set, to keep themselves from actually starting to feel something for another human being.

Haven't you ever wondered why so many females own cats?

It's much cheaper, emotionally for them to invest in paranoia than a man.

For me, a woman, it really depends on what they had to say in their message, but typically after only one message and a phone number included then no.

Wow didn't know you could do WhatsApp on laptop. I prefer typing so might try that :)
It is very tedious waiting for replies. I like conversation to flow. At least if you decide to let them ring you you have their full attention and can figure out what they are like a bit better.

Tmommy is right
some start talking dirty when they get the cell number (whatsapp etc.)
i just block, that's it.
what is the worst that can happen? they wont call international lol

i give out my cell number sometimes at the 1st day, no problem. site's messaging system has got a faulty. the sequence of the messages get messed up and sometimes messages get lost. whatsapp helps.

most of the time a few hours speaking shows if the person is a type worth of giving the number or not.
with this site members i failed only 1 time
and that was not a dirty talk, that was because of him making rude comments about my nationality.
apart from that i always made spot on contacts.
mmm i think i am quite not bad about picking people

That's cool

You are such a beauty

I think it's perfectly fine some times it's difficult to reach out on a dating website . conflict of scedules and advertisements in here.
besides I find most scammers don't like to talk on the phone .

Now I've got used to the site I'm more relaxed. I don't mind moving onto Kik or WhatsApp and if they get dirty you can block them. I think it's quite scary the first phone call but it really helps to hear their voice and get a feel for the real person.

Scammers are very obvious and I have got quite a knack for sussing them out and reporting them

Right now there is a woman that is bugging me to death. I told her over a month ago that it was over. I didn't want to see her anymore. I blocked her text to me. But I can't block her phone calls. This is one of the reasons you have to be careful who you give your number to. Some people just will not go away.

I've been following this thread since I started it. Maybe for some of you, you were able to block or otherwise get rid of the person, or persons that were calling you. It doesn't work that way for everyone.

All it takes is one piece of info to ruin your life. It could be a cell or LL number. Your SS number, any number of things. Right now I have this crazy woman that doesn't know the meaning of no. Yes, I could change my number. But I have a lot of contacts in my phone. I would have to let a LOT of people know my number has been changed. Again, Some of you keep spouting about how easy it is to get rid of someone that will not stop calling you. It's not that easy for everyone.

And those of you who keep talking about, if you don't give your number out you don't get laid. With what I've been going through with this nut case, I seriously wonder if a piece of a$.$ was worth it. Maybe for those of you who are pu$%^ crazy.

even if u have a chance to block her number, she will call from an other number - is she is that much determined.

i had a person like that in year 2013
i had to frighten him saying that i am suing him.
that is how i got rid of him.
maybe u shall try the same way.
