I need to get to know more about them before I give out my number to a stranger.
Any D pic I've gotten, while not welcome, was only sent to me, but I do see your point. Still, that's just more reason to block him.

Also... check your security settings on Facebook. I am sometimes shocked by the amount of personal information is available from people not friended. Also, some people's numbers are associated with their facebook account... running the phone number through facebook search will also yield their facebook account. Often that leads to a real last name, current town, and work information.

A few years ago, Facebook set it up so that anyone who had an acc't could automatically access the inside pages & info of anyone else with an acc't. I don't know how many FB-ers are aware of the fact that their acc'ts are an open book now.

I'm not trying to be snarky. I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing, then.
I was thinking that, too. My facebook page has my full name and some identifying information. My phone number is more anonymous. And it's not like a landline number where someone could potentially get my address from it.

If you are not too interested in a guy why don't you just say NO when they ask for a number?

If a lady didn't give me the effort of a phone number, than I take that as a sign they aren't interested. It's so easy to exchange numbers now as we all have our own personal phones.

I don't really get on facebook much. I pretty much only have an account to stay in touch with family. So I'd just let them know that a number would be better. If they don't then they aren't interested.

She is telling you she doesn't like you.

[read between the lines when she does that]
