Girls - Would you give a random guy your number?

[LivelyWomen]

If you were out somewhere for example a grocery store or gym and a guy asked for your number, would you give it to him?

What would be you standards before you gave him your number?

[Luopio27]

Because guys are the ones that ask a girl out, girls should be more immune to strangers coming their way to say hi, and then ask to keep in touch. Here in Finland there is very little of that, because this country is one of the most antisocial nations in the world.

Think of this problem this way. You are a pretty girl, and people compete to get into your lives. When you walk in public places, small talk is the only descent way of transforming from a stranger to someone you have met, the next step is becoming friends and then who knows.

My advice is be greatfull that people will put effort in inviting you to their lives, and know at all times there are a lot of girls and guys who will never be noticed, no matter what they do. I'm not saying give your contacts to everyone who asks, I'm saying look for signs of trustability.

If that person is someone you could be friends with, then give him the number.

Another thing, if you see a cool guy, nice guy or pretty guy of your age, and you happen to like him, at least as a friend, ask him for his number. Girls can make the first moves too.

lol "he should conform to all my ideal man caracteristics, be 6'10, weigh 25 lbs, have red laser guided eyes, eat only peanuts and say every word out of 2 in russian. And then I want to know him for at least 57 years before he can get my number!"

haha I think phone numbers aren't that big of a deal... Some give 'em out, some don't. Out of those who give them out, a couple want to see where it goes, the rest don't. Then out of those, a few go somewhere the rest don't.

Doesn't matter in the end.

Essentially if you don't you're closing yourself off to an option.That' no big deal; could be good, could be bad. Just know what it is you're doing...

Only if we talked for longer than a few minutes. It'd be better to meet at a party or something like that so we would get the chance to talk for a few hours before I gave him any information. I gave my number to a stranger once and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. Like that other girl said he turned into a STALKER. Constant calls, texts, voicemails. Cussing me out if I didn't answer. It was crazy, I had to block his number.

I made the mistake of doing this once. This guy came up to me and said I caught his eye and he wanted my number etc, so I gave him my number ,he was good looking and he seemed nice so I thought why not...Huge mistake. Non stop calls and texts 24/7 asking me why I was not returning his calls , he was crazy. Had to get a new number. I wouldn't do it again.

[LivelyWomen]

Would you give him your email instead?

[Natalieee]

I guess not. The whole thing put me off from giving strangers my info x

[ItalianBro]

Lol, so you judge all men the same because of this one guy... nice, I can't wait until I finish college and the only girls I can ask out are friends and co-workers.. YEAH!

[Natalieee]

Its not about saying all men are the same, I'm just saying I wouldn't do it again because its not worth the stress of what he was doing.

[Phoenix52]

Not every guy is gonna do that to you though. They're not gonna stress you out, unless you let them do so. The next time a guy is calling you too much, or making you feel weird, put your foot down, become a b*tch, and tell them how they're making you feel. Plenty of guys out there need to gain control of their emotions and be patient.

[hazeleyes91]

I wouldn't because I have a boyfriend. When I was single...it would depend on if he creeped me out or came on too strong. I may suggest something like facebook because that way you can block the person easier if they turn out to be a creep.

[LivelyWomen]

I wouldn't add them on Facebook. Some people have personal information like first and last name, address, work and pictures of themself that the person could see.

[hazeleyes91]

I said that because I don't put a lot of information on my facebook. I don't really think seeing pictures would be too big of a deal though lol

[amber622]

If he came up to me and started talking and we talked for a few I would give him my number.

[ItalianBro]

I think you have the best answer, all of the other ones are stupid. I have read other questions asking "Why don't guys ask me out?"... After talking to someone for a few minutes you should have a brief overview of who he is and decide if you want to get to know him some more. Some of these other responses basically say "I wouldn't ever give my number out to a stranger". Now any guy who reads these responses will be scared to talk to girls.

[amber622]

Thats what I was thinking! There are so many questions and people complaining about not being asked out or why guys are to scared to go up to girls. He might be a stranger, but it would be like meeting someone at a bar and giving them your number. You take that chance. It's not like he is going to know where you live or anything like that, so if he does start with calling nonstop or texting there is a such thing as getting a number blocked...

[Anonymous]

I don't because that's very uncommon here. Plus, I wouldn't give my number to anyone. I like to know him for sometime before sharing anything personal with him :)

[LivelyWomen]

Would you give him your email?

[Opinion Owner]

Nope, no personal info.

[bel42]

hmm that will depend on whether am in a good mood or not ..oh and if his attractive or not. other than that ..i don't think so ..i will just try to change the conversation.

[Beastieboys95]

Yesss, well after talking to him for a few minutes yes

[carlo]

you should! at least if it's me! anybody else, NOPE! :D

[MakeLoveNotWar]

I was about to ask this question. Now I know what NOT to do lol.
