FabSwingers.com forum: Phone number exchanged

When is it acceptable to exchange numbers?

I just had a guy insisting that give him my number before I even met him. When I refused he called me a fake, despite my verifications.

I offered to Skype or kik with him.That wasn't good enough. I asked for his number to call him. He refused.

In the end I wished him good luck and blocked him.

I do exchange numbers with people once I get to know them but don't give my personal number out to any Tom, Dick or Harry.

How would you have handled this?

I think it's a personal thing and down to the individual.

I for one don't give it out to just anyone. But I do like abit of picture and video exchange on whatsapp.

So I'll have a chat get to know um and if u trust them enough just do it. U can always block there number from calling u. X

If you are not happy to give your number out then he should accept that, until you are happy to. Tell him to do one block him and move on.

As soon as anyone starts insisting anything walk away.

Consider a 'fab phone' to keep things separate and avoid stalkers i.e £20 Asda thing.

We don't exchange numbers at all

I did with the first couple of meets but both ended up texting everyday sometimes several times a day & started getting a bit aggressive when we wasn't always responding

As a couple we don't even txt one another that much

Nothing can happen by giving someone your phone number.... other than them being VERY annoying.

But if they turn into an idiot... block

They can ring / text non-stop / whenever they like, and if you have your number on facebook, find you on that.

I'd advice not giving your number to anyone unless you trust them completely.

definitely this. if he won't compromise on a phone number then he probably likes getting his own way with everything, including sex. i'd be very wary.

i don't even go off site with most guys, only the ones who can chat about anything other than sex.

if that had been me and you wanted skype or kik would have been cool with that.

the worrying bit is he wanted your number but refused to give you his... surely that should be a reciprocal question

Not Fab Contacts related but on my Android phone I have an app called Clever Dialler. It shows you the number dialling and then gives you the option to block. Great for nuisance calls as it also shows how may others have blocked and reasons why. You could then use it to block anyone who got stalkerish

In my long gone single days I (fem) would only give out my number until I wanted to. If the guy insisted it was a block

Thanks for the response...I would rather keen my privacy. I have a numbers of ways to contact people without giving out my phone number. If people aren't happy with that then they can fuck off.

I should have blocked him the minute he accused me of being a fake

scotsfem, you could always use another sim if needed...even giving out a personal number can identify things like a facebook account x

there is no real need to exchange numbers these days anyway, with things like kik messenger.

I do sometimes prefer a phone call when it comes to couples(normally unverified,ages old verified etc) if they are asking to meet- namely to make sure I'm not talking with a male half who's just 'setting' things up.

anyway...the guy sounded impatient, never a good sign.

We would have blocked the first time he insisted. If someone insisted in real life I'd walk away too, it's a warning sign if someone is pushy from the start.

Your phone number is very much a part of your personal life. So it's up to your how you feel about giving out your number before you get to know and trust someone. Especially if it is likely to be a short lived causal arrangement. That's why I think KIK is a great idea. Plus you said you are verified (meet verified I asume). If you don't want to give your number they can like it or lump it.

What happens when you block a number on your phone?

Does the caller get told they are blocked? Do they hear the number not available sound?

Are their texts blocked too? - and what happens when they try to send one?

It's never acceptable in my opinion. If you do feel it's necessary then get a cheap pay as you go that's not linked to any accounts such as Facebook etc.

Give your number when you feel comfortable, I do insist when the final arrangement of a meet is made, quick phone chat I feel is needed at that point, plus it's better if you have swapped numbers in case you end up running late.

You can chat on here or kik etc until 100% you are both happy to meet

But as everything on here there are no hard fast rules, do want ever you feel ok with xx

You never have to give your number out, if you choose not to. I would have blocked him as soon as he became a little demanding. You only ever do what you feel comfortable doing. If someone tries to pressure you to do something that compromises that, they are not worth chatting to.

I understand that sentiment. The only flaw is, that they can get in touch via other means as they now have your number. They just can't use their own phone to contact you. I had this problem a few years back

. Now my number is not given out.

If I had their number then I would call and withhold my number. If they didn't want to share their number, no problem, that's their choice.

You only have to spend a day on here to see how it can change from fine to weird in one message so I wouldn't want that in my life away from Fab.

I only swop numbers just before an arranged meet .I do it purely as it suits me as then can text day before or on day of meet and confirm all still ok and if I don't hear back I'll take it they have changed their mind . Saves wasting time and effort . Also handy if either party running late so not left thinking they are a non show .

Numbers are only swoped when it suits me and my comfort level never on a demand from anyone . If they have an issue with thst then not a person I'd want to meet anyway .

You stick to your guns op and keep doing what you are comfortable with .The decent people will respect your decisions x

You should only give your number out if you want to. If someone insists on it then do as you did - block and move on!

Kik is fine and cam/skype should be do-able if you co-ordinate a time. If they don't work for someone then cheerio!!!

As someone said - plenty of other men out there

"When is it acceptable to exchange numbers?

I just had a guy insisting that give him my number before I even met him. When I refused he called me a fake, despite my verifications.

I offered to Skype or kik with him.That wasn't good enough. I asked for his number to call him. He refused.

In the end I wished him good luck and blocked him.

I do exchange numbers with people once I get to know them but don't give my personal number out to any Tom, Dick or Harry.

How would you have handled this? "

I have had this happen to me...we reached a stalemate and I blocked him and moved on. Yes, he may have a wife/family/career to protect but then so might you. No one should respond to the blackmail attempt of being called a 'fake' if you won't do x, y or z to command. I have had problems after passing my mobile number to a guy I subsequently decided not to meet, but it was a 'spare' phone, so despite his threats to publish my number 'everywhere' in revenge, I just got a new sim.

Do what feels right for you, go with your gut feeling. Let's be honest, as a woman on here you can fill his position in a short enough space of time.

"I would almost never give out my mobile. Email, Kik etc but I've had my mobile number I'm not gonna risk having to change it if someone turns out to be a psycho

You don't need to change numbers anymore.... all smartphones have a block feature now"

However, if the other person gets hold if other phones or passes your number round, you have to have them call you again before you can block. I prefer the new sim.option.
