Back when I was dating, I rarely asked a girl for a number unless we already established some sort of comfort level; I did't want to put her in a position have having to deny it to me and come up with an excuse why. I generally would give her my number and leave it up to her to call it.
These days a tracfone for 10 bucks and 20 bucks for 6 months of service with no identity attached to it is a no brainer for some.
I HATE it when i ask for a number and a girls gives me her FB name or says " email me" like jeez! just save me the trouble and tell me you don't like me! OR ( this has happened to me several times) She gives me a number and i call it and she tells me " oh thats my other phone i have 2". LOL the excuses a woman will make to not talk to a guy!
I guess it never occurred to you that they might be doing that for safety reasons... It's all about you?

This is weird to me and has never happened to me. I can see reaching out to someone via social media if you met them but didn't get to exchange numbers, but to ask for a number and get a Facebook name instead?
I'd just assume they weren't that into me. Then again, like others said, she might be doing it for "security reasons," but how much security does one really need? If he/she starts calling too much, you block them.
I found that guys I meet on dating websites have a strange tendency to look me up on Facebook and send me friend friend requests before our first date. I don't like this, especially as I never give my last name to anyone before the second date.
They usually ask for Whatsapp in my case, not Facebook so much unless we've already been on a date or two.
One of my flings asked me for my last name on our second date and said: "Don't worry, I won't look you up or anything". Really? Then what do you want my last name for? I didn't take offense in it since we had already exchanged numbers.
I don't like interacting on Facebook to be honest, but then again, most guys prefer to text so it's not any different from chatting on Facebook. I simply don't want them to be all up in my business before even having the chance to get to know them better. Not providing your Facebook account allows to pace the "relationship" as you please. If they already know everything about you by the second date, it's boring.

It's not about them calling too much. You would be amazed at how many scumbags use phone numbers they have collected to send dick pics when it is late at night and they are drunk and horny--Months after the fact, and sometimes in a group message to ladies in their contact list.
I need to get to know more about them before I give out my number to a stranger.

That's what I've done previously and it's great security. I never give out my real number when dating.
Google voice is a really good option too. They assign you a random phone number that rings to your real cell phone and the person never has to know that it's not your real number. You'll know automatically if it's a Google voice call and you can choose to ignore it or answer it. My brother uses his google voice number to give out to businesses and such because he doesn't have a landline and this way he knows what calls are sales calls and what calls are personal calls to his real number.
I would personally never give my Facebook to a guy I barely know. I find it shocking that anyone would want a complete stranger that kind of access to their pictures and posts and all of the other personal stuff on Facebook. I think it is very dangerous to do that because what if the guy or girl ends up being unstable and now they know where you live and work and hang out and how to find you. Not smart at all!!
