Um, you should tell her how you feel about her. My "platonic friend" turned out to be the love of my life when he finally worked up the courage to tell me he had feelings for me. Nothing ventured nothing gained my friend!

I work as a probation officer. I will tell you that tons of people we see come in with a new phone number all the time - every few months. Most of them do prepaid, and they change services - or forget to pay one month and then just create a new acct later with another service.

Me personally, I have had the same cell phone number for probably close to 15 years.

both are creepy in their concern/involvement trying to destroy another person's right to privacy

Changing ones number isn’t a reasonable act to deter spammers, scammers. They have apps that randomly dial - though many do focus on certain areas (?) like senior communities.

Not sure why one would change their number but for a stalker and/or debt collectors (but I think there are laws limiting this. Worth for this person to look up what the the state laws are).

I’ve had the experience of being stalked, by phone, car, etc. it’s traumatic. This person may need a non-judgmental friend more than ever right now. Don’t know. It would seem that being there for this friend right now is the best route to take. Of course if danger presents, you’d want to have distance.

I had this happen with my number. The young lady who had it before me was being pursued by a lot of bill collectors. Random guys would call looking for her too so I think she still handed her old number out to guys she didn't want to give her real number too. Twelve years later and I still get the odd bill collector looking for her. She needs to get her life in order!
