I get that pretty regularly and I just send back (if I'm at all interested in them) "I'm a little hesitant to give out my number to people so early on, why don't we email a bit more and we'll see"

[starburst604]

I feel like those guys can't even be bothered trying, they just want a bunch of numbers to text with. Sometimes I would reply back with the "Not comfortable giving out my number just yet" bit, but found that they would usually still suck at emails.

Wow....I never had that experience when I was on match. I would be seriously put off by that too.

I've never had that experience on match either. Usually I've exchanged at least 3 emails each back and forth before I've had a guy asked for my number. There have been a few douches that send it in a first email, but I never respond to those.

I encountered that on match a few times, and would respond saying that I wasn't comfortable giving out my number so soon. I encountered it a lot more frequently on OKC.

I find that this is more common with guys under 30, than over... not sure what age range you are dating.

good point. This may be a factor, methinks.

I'm 30, so my range is 30-40

one of my co-workers just got this from a guy on an online dating site

"Hi I live in Flanders, work in the city. I have limited time, but I have $$$. I'm looking for a local fun girl. You look like you could be her, are you her?"


Her response "That sounds like you are looking for a call girl. And no, I am not that girl."

When I lived in NY and dated men in that range I didn't really find that. So, I'm not sure that it's a NY thing
