Hell no! I have to speak to someone for a long time on the net before I dish out personal details. I would stick to an email address, it would be safer.

Are you serious? If you are, you are asking for trouble. He could be a nice guy, or he could be a psycho who is good at putting on an act designed to make people think he's just a harmless guy who wants to make friends, or meet girls. Look at it this way: you can give him your phone number anytime, after you know more about him. There is no rush. People can turn weird at the drop of a hat. If that happened, would you want the weirdo to know your phone number? He could use your number to find out where you live and that would be very dangerous for you and whoever lives with you.

I wouldn't give someone I had met my phone number, let alone some guy off the internet!

Not unless you want ever pervert in the world to also call you. the internet is not a safety zone for phone numbers.

No. I wouldn't normally give someone I had just met in person my phone number! If I'd been chatting to someone on the net a LONG time and felt like I trusted them I might give them my mobile (cell phone) number, but not my landline.

Not hardly! In fact, I wouldn't even use my real email address with anyone I've met on the internet! Do not reveal any details about yourself to anyone you don't know. It's no one's business where you live, where your parents work, or what kind of car they drive. Don't tell anyone your family or friends names. Don't reveal your school name or location, and certainly don't mention any classes or after school activities you attend. Unless you're some computer wizard, you don't know how much he might be able to find out about you just by chatting online. It's hardly worth the risk. Chat safely with those people you know for sure. Anything else is too easily just a lie, with someone "playing you" for a fool. It's a hobby of online creeps to find young lonely girls, who want to be older quicker, without the rules and restrictions put on you by those who love you. They'll offer to be your friend, to rescue you from a boring life. If you fall for their offer, the next thing you know he'll be at your home or your school to take you away from it all. It's not that easy though. That's when you'll see he's not who he said he was, but then what . . . ? The World WILD Web is Wicked. Steer clear!

no, in my opinion it would be like giving my number to a stranger and I've been there done that and don't want to ever go there again...

heck no maybe if i met him in person but if i met him on the internet. i would be like hey he might be a sicko or something!

Most people on the net are not really who they say they are. My friend met a guy who was nice at first and when he got mad at her for not letting him come to her home he wrote a terrible letter about her and spread it all over the net.

No, I'd give him my aolvm# or my skype # if I was REALLY interested and I checked him out on some public record databases.

No definately not.

if he was inquiring to buy something i posted an ad for, maybe...other wise no, im straight and also believe picking people up on the net is damn near one hundred percent ridiculous

Noooooooo way.

Noooooooo way.

i did but i had been talking to him for awhile through IM. the first phone call was kinda awkward. weird to all of sudden to have a voice to recognize with a screen name. no regrets though. trust your gut.

if they seem normal and nice then yes. It's not like blocking a number or not answering the phone is not an option if they turn out to be a creep. I've done it and have now met him and he is my bf.

Define just met. Yes I have =P

no no no no no nooo lol

my wife and I met out of a chat room out of boredom... we weren't even really "friends" when we met... but I ordered pizza and that got her to meet me.

uh... no. Unless the guy made me feel really confident. And that ain't easy...

NO!!

To the ones that said No...Congrats you are smart. For the ones that said yes...You're idiots..Did you know that with a phone number and a phone number alone these guys can get your physical address. All it takes is a trip to yellowpages.com and they've got you. You may also think "well this guy is from another area..how could he find my house...Its called GPS..anyone can get one." This is just a warning to try to keep u all safe..I have had a few friends give out numbers and then they had a stalker. (of course this isn't quite as easy with cell numbers but it can be done) STAY SAFE!! Dave

Not only can they find your address by using your phone number they can also use google maps to lead them right to your house. Scary.
