Is giving your phone number out on a night out cheating?

Question

Is giving your phone number out on a night out to someone you find attractive & message them is that cheating?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Yeah I consider it cheating. If I was with a girl and I found out she's going out behind my back and doing that, I would consider her (1) Ungrateful to me, (2) An immature child, (3) Wants to sleep around. I know in this day and age people want to conform their old beliefs and try to stay hip and cool with the latest trends of pronouns, verbs, status, having the IDGAF mantra and personifying this emo/rebellious behaviour on the dating scene. I don't fall under trends, movements, and other nonsense. I know what I want in a young woman, I know what I can bring to the table. I know my worth and value and I have learned don't invest time in a girl who is going to normalize chatting DEEEPLY with 20 other guys, ill eliminate myself from the equation. Girls and women are awful at making choices. That's why a lot of girls I see today have daddy issues or issues with men/guys. It's because they have always been hurt by males in their life or guys they dated. The genuine dudes who invest and want to give love are often the one's who get hurt by the girl or woman because she's now programmed herself to go after toxic guys, it's what the doctor ordered and women can't admit that. So they come on sites like GAG and they'll be ALL GUYS ARE ANTI-FEMALE... please, there is genocide going on to Palestinians as I type this message out, I rarely see girls on GAG standing up for other girls who are being shot in the head by Israeli forces or Israeli forces dropping bombs and blowing off limbs of other Palestinian women. I have to say that last point, I don't mean to get political but I'm tired of the bashing women have on this site towards guys that guys hate women but in reality women don't even stand up for each other.

If your intent is to have him call you for a date, then yes, it's cheating. If it's just a business request, for example, he's a dog walker and you are looking for one, that's fine.

Jessica405 · Accepted Answer

Yes. Your intent was emotional and sexual, as you found him attractive. Giving your true number was a deliberate act of betrayal. No forgivenness.

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Accepted Answer

I never gave my number to anyone when I was in a relationship. No new men were needed. I already had one and that was enough.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Is that something that you would do if your boyfriend/husband was present? If not, WHY not?

Drew-1990 · Answer

I wouldn't call it cheating necessarily but you are pushing it in my opinion. You are tempting yourself to cheat and either consciously or subconsciously you are setting up a backup. If it's behind your boyfriend back and he wouldn't approve it is borderline.

JacobJordan · Answer

Why are messaging someone other than your boyfriend? Why are you going out when you have a boyfriend? You are in an exclusive relationship and yet you are going out with the clear purpose of being flirted with as if you were single and then you are giving your phone number to people as if you were single. Well you should be single cause you are cheating anyways

sheikalana · Answer

You're making your own bed. This is wrong. You should never put yourself in a situation where you're giving other men the impression that you're interested in them when you're in a committed relationship with someone else.

WhiteSteve · Answer

I don’t know if it’s cheating, but it’s definitely the on-ramp to the highway to cheating

HelpfulWoman · Answer

Yes. because in the context, it's not serving a purpose such as giving your number to a repair person or what not. You're literally giving it out for some sort of attention.

el_Te_de_la_Rosa · Answer

That "attractive" and "message" says a lot about the person's state of mind.  I think it is. Micro cheating. Anyone who does that considered unreliable to me.

XXTruthfulOgrexx · Answer

personally, yes. You would be giving out the number with the intent of messaging because they were attractive, basically your pursuing their attention.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

No, you give a phone number to friends, family, the pizza place, stores, basically anyone you call. Giving out a phone number by itself means nothing.

Flirting or sexting or calling to hookup via phone is cheating though.

SweetDripp · Answer

I wouldn’t call it cheating, but I’d break up with a guy if he did that.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

@aviatortom nailed it... goes to what is your HONEST intent

RavVid · Answer

I would say so. It isn't non sexual is it?  Will u tell your partner that met this really attractive man and you exchanged numbers. If you wouldn't do that than it is cheating isn't it?

molonski2 · Answer

Yes , as you are showing intent , if in a relationship you do not give out your number.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Sharing phone numbers is cheating now? What is next for you insecure people.

catsmemoir · Answer

While not technically violating the letter of the law as regards to cheating, its getting pretty damn close. Close enough for me to dump you with no regrets.

magiusX26 · Answer

to an extent (if you are already in a relationship) YES. it also intels how duslotal you are deep down and your intention to phydically cheat. shows you as unworthy of a relationship.

lightbulb27 · Answer

is it cheating if he did that as well? yep.

SolitarySolace · Answer

If you’re in a relationship and you’re giving your number to someone you see yourself in another relationship with than yeah you’re cheating.

zagor · Answer

If you are in a relationship, yes. Unless they are selling insurance or something, why else would you give out your number?

laly520 · Answer

the reason behind giving number is what matters for this question

fonduegirl · Answer

If you have a partner at home, yes. If you mean giving out your number to multiple guys, no.

DextroShade · Answer

That is 100% cheating. This is exactly why I would never take a girl seriously if she goes out to bars or clubs.

Booklover_90 · Answer

If you’re in a relationship, yeah. Why else would you want another person’s number?

Alex-Snow · Answer

Not really unless it is ment for a future hookup

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Yes it is. I would never tolerate a girl who went to clubs.

MimiKitty · Answer

Yes, it's cheating, and might be worth breaking up over. I certainly wouldn't trust them after that.
