"Just intrigued. . Why are some people on here so reluctant to exchange numbers after you've spoken for a while. And you are genuine verified. Seems like the logical next step. Personally, puts me off if there's no exchange of details after a while " Verifications and chatting don't prove anything. Men who want to take chat off the site usually only want wank chat at 3am. | |||

"Some people just like to keep things as private as possible. We have pics of our kids on our WhatsApp so that can make us hesitant to give our numbers out. We still do swap numbers if we’re going to arrange a meet but we are quite cautious with it. Totally understand that Mr T. As I said it's a matter of gauging good genuine guys Personally I'd never disrespect or message out of turn Mr" | |||

"I generally only give my number to someone I'm going to meet. At least if I need a break from here or social media, I can just not log in. But if people are texting and calling I'll have no peace. There is no need for my number. Idle chat can stay on here or Kik." For me there has to be a balance in all of this or within everything. If woman get the amount of messages they say they do then you can run the risk of your message not being seen. The other thing is that for me by taking the chat off here shows an intent to want to know more of each other. And as I also say it’s a way to prove genuine even down to a video call to prove they look like their photos and not using someone else’s or ones way out of date. I don’t have time or the want to talk to someone if it doesn’t work out. So block me. Move on. There is no way I would try and find people on other media platforms | |||

"We use a 'fab' burner phone if we ever want to exchange numbers, that way we can just turn it off and leave it in the drawer for another 6 months if we can't be arsed." Or you can simply block on whatsapp | |||

"We keep everything swinging related on here to separate it from our day to day lives. Based on the number and frequency of messages we get on here, if people had our numbers it would be unbearable. " That's fair enough Do you not insist on phone chat before meeting then? | |||

" So yes a phone call or voice note when it seems we are getting on well What proportion agree to do this ?" I’ve literally had 1 or 2 that don’t. But I think people are attracted to similar , if someone is not open and transparent and can’t speak in the phone I’m not really interested in chatting to them. | |||

"We tend to move off here for group chats just because it's awkward having 3/4 way conversation on here, much easier when everyone can chip in and know who's speaking. We use telegram for those who don't like to give out a number or what's app for those that don't mind. A number is easily blockable so it doesn't bother me handing it out, plus I don't have it registered to any social media. Mrs " Exactly it's easy to block an arsehole lol Agreed It's long the convo on here | |||

"We will only give our number if we've had a social(s) meet and then agreed to have a play meet. If after a few messages couples wanted to chat and get to know us better away from here before arranging a social meet they can, by either Kik or telegram and then we would create a group chat so all could join in " That's fair enough Just curious as to would you arrange a social without physically speaking to a guy or cpl | |||

I am pretty heavy on the block button if someone cheeses me off and have only ever had one stalker that kept changing his number and bothering me.... But generally I have had no issues giving it out. | |||

"Just intrigued. . Why are some people on here so reluctant to exchange numbers after you've spoken for a while. And you are genuine verified. Seems like the logical next step. Personally, puts me off if there's no exchange of details after a while " To me the logical next step after talking for a while is trying to arrange to meet It pays to be cautious exchanging numbers for many of reasons stated above. WhatsApp in particular links to Facebook and Instagram and people can start showing up in your "Suggested Friends" section. Most people get on absolute fine without exchanging numbers and communicating on here and there are always other options where phone numbers are not required. Obviously some are less worried about privacy than others. Also just in the last week some people have popped up talking about scams involving "ladies" getting men's numbers and then threatening all sorts so on the other end of the spectrum I'd be very cautious with a lady who wants an immediate exchange of numbers. | |||

Messages from other numbers. From a friend's phone. From private numbers. Been there. | |||

"I've cancelled meeting people if they won't swap another comms method in advance. I don't use fab outside the house, only on wi fi. I'm not leaving to travel somewhere without being able to get hold of someone. Usually Kik or Snapchat - if it progresses I'm happy to swap numbers. I feel the majority of the time the conversation flows better off fab inbox. I respect people's views not to share their number but they seem less impressed when I hold my own values aswell. " This ?? | |||

"I don't understand why people want my number, when we could talk on here and arrange to meet on here. I never ask for anyone's number/other socials etc. Maybe if you meet someone and you carry on seeing each other etc and both choose to, but I'm constantly asked about other socials, when I'm more than happy to just talk on here." This for me too I don't have a different play number for Fab and I don't want my 'real life' being mixed up with Fab fun creeping in with texts, calls, friend requests etc. As the Offspring once said..... You gotta keep em separated | |||

"Why do I have to give a stranger from the internet my mobile number??? And why not willing to do that makes me "fake" or not interested in meeting??? I have learned my lesson in the past, gave my number to some and then got bombarded by messages at all hours, whenever they wanted to "chat". And if I didn't answer in time, they'd send even more messages. Yes, I know it's easy to block someone but I'd rather just keep my personal mobile number to myself. And no, I am not getting a burner phone just so I could give that number to people, thank you very much. This site is good enough for initial conversations and arranging a potential meet. Further on, if you do take the conversation off site and things go wrong, you can't report the other person/people. " I have had the same thing that is why I don't give out my contact details. | |||

"I don't give my number to anyone until we've actually met, they don't need that kind of access to me. Here is perfectly acceptable to msg on." Do you not like to chat and verify before you meet? | |||

Personally, puts me off if there's no exchange of details after a while " We never give out actual telephone numbers. There are communication apps that do not require us to expose a detail we use for family and work related communications. Identity theft is a *very* real thing and we're not implying that is what you (OP) would do but there are people who do. Be safe online and do not expose your IRL details to anyone when there are much safer/smarter ways. | |||
