    I cannot wrap my head around why some people are paranoid to give out their numbers. It is a phone number for god's sake not your social security number. Just don't link it to your facebook page. I google my number and get "this is a cell phone number from this area" that is it.

    I use my phone for work, so on the off chance I give it to a girl who is crazy and starts calling constantly, changing my number would be an INCREDIBLE hassle.

    I have no problem with a guy giving me his number and me sending a text right then and there like "now you got my number!" But if a guy expected me to make contact first, well that's not good. I would never use the number. If he's brave enough to make a move he can make a phone call or shoot a text, right??

    Only women are allowed to be nervous and entitled!

    You know it!

    You need to make things more private - why is your fb open to the public? Why is your # on there? Fix all that and get a google voice #, block them when they get crazy.

    So I guess you've never had a guy calling you incessantly, in the middle of the night, leaving nasty messages and texts, etc? I'll stick to google voice, I've had to block so many freaks.
