After breaking up with my bf, I signed up for an online dating site which is not something I would do in my right mind. But I did it, no regrets. However, several people have messaged me..all of which I did not reply to because they seem to be after one thing...

But then this guy messaged me and from his profile, he seems like a nice person and we have things in common. I'm not necessarily looking for a relationship, just the opportunity to meet new people I wouldn't otherwise.

He asked me for my number and I am very reluctant to give it to a complete stranger. Even if a guy were to ask me for my number in person, there's a good chance I wouldn't give it to him. It seems a bit too personal for me. I don't know anything about him.

Is it a good idea to give him my number? I would much rather give him my email but I don't want to seem like a dork or something lol.

BTW, he gave me his number, then asked for mine.

busy04 agony auntI would say hold off on the number thing. Give him your email and chat that way for a while & since he gave you his number, when you call it, block it. That will give you a bit more ease :)

Be honest with him, tell him that you're not very comfortable exchanging your number right now, but you're willing to communicate in other ways. Hopefully he understands, if not, then you have to decide what you want to do from there.

Simple & carefree!

Good luck to ya...
