"Hey OP. I don't give my number unless I've met someone & see if I'm gonna meet them again, not just on fab but when I've had profiles on online dating apps. Had a bad experience myself with a guy from POF and the hassle of changing my number & changing my Facebook profile was just meh. " It's sickening that some think that this kind of behavior is acceptable | |||

"If you have Facebook Messenger installed on your phone (which is pretty much everyone nowadays), that means that you have linked your phone number to Facebook. #1 Just enter someone's phone number into Facebook login and hit "I Forgot My Password" . Then "Is this your profile?" will pop up. Showing you the Facebook profile of whoever owns that number. #2 Save a person's phone number to your phone, check their WhatsApp profile username, and 9 times out of 10, its the same as their Twitter, Snapchat or Instagram. #3 Save their number to your Google contacts and the next day, they will show up as a recommended contact on Linkdin. You can pull their Gmail from their Linkdin bio and use it to find pretty much any social media platform they are registered with that email address. ... or so I am led to believe. Give out your phone number at your own risk. " wow!!!! Morale of the story nothing is safe, least of all your privacy | |||

"I have chatted with two ladies on fab for considerable time and we exchanged numbers. Ladies I have met with exchanged numbers. To date I have had no issues with it. If you trust each other enough to meet and have sex then exchanging numbers shouldn’t be an issue. If you’re unsure about giving her your number and she wants to voice chat, get hers and call her from a withheld number. " Wise words | |||

"If the person has been on the site for some time and is well-verified, you're probably safe enough. I have met with women from the site who have insisted on a phone chat before meeting and because they were well-established and verified, I felt safe enough in doing so. If it's a reasonably new profile, with no verifications and you aren't at the stage of an imminent meet, yet they're insisting on a phone call because of some unspecified difficulty with Kik, my own alarm bells would probably begin to ring. " Anyone, well verified or not, insisting on a phone number would have every single alarm bell ringing for me. | |||

It's a fairly good way to gauge it however for me it would send alarm bells ringing too. Speaking from experience I've actually received a couple of numbers and the offer to use them was put to me. I could have chosen then to hide mine. I've also once sent my number to someone who wasn't on Kik but I never asked for a number and was totally fine if the number was withheld also. | |||

Worse.. getting a stalker that ends with them blowing up your phone every 5 min looking for a meet. Hey I'm game but jeez not every few min.. | |||

I had a really bad experience with swapping numbers before and it has made me stop giving my number out. Am I being too cautious? Thanks in advance " If something doesn't feel right it more than likely isn't. Go with your instinct. I gave my number before to a guy who I had met...normal behaviour yes. Just so we could talk etc...before the meet. He always and every had his number hidden & it's not like I can't be trusted or whatever. He used to ring me unannounced several times a day on his unknown number. I couldn't even block him ... He turned into a stalker also as in calling to my house at anytime of day unannounced. I stupidly let him drive me home one day & that's how he knows where I live...Long Story...Too long to write it all here...It's mini-book material tbh. | |||
