writes:This isn't really a love question as such, but it involves a girl so I thought this was as good a place to ask it as any.So sometimes I play a particular online game. Not a lot but maybe once or twice a week I will play for a little bit and chat to some people. Earlier today I logged in for the first time in ages and very quickly got into a conversation with a random stranger who happened to be in the same location as me. After a few minutes I added her as a friend, and then about half an hour later we were both logging out so she asked if I had Facebook. We added each other and I thought nothing more of it.Within a further half an hour she had posted on my Facebook wall - just some friendly banter. So we posted back and forth for a bit, and she tells me her MSN client is down so I told her to add me when she gets it working. Then out of the blue she sends me a private message with her cell number saying that she hoped it was not weird but I should text her. At this point we'd probably known each other for barely 2 hours! Is that a little odd, should I be suspicious? Or am I reading too much into it as usual? For the record, she already stated she had a boyfriend - not that I would ever let it get to that stage! After all she is 500 miles away.

I'm shocked at some of these answers. Yes, it's very weird. It's ridiculous she gave you her phone number. She's in a relationship and looking to cheat.
She doesn't want her boyfriend so she has chosen texting as the way to communicate with you. Yes, mobiles can be checked, but she can text you from anywhere. It's a bit harder with computers.
Well, that's my take on it. Your call what you do with this info.

 hello there,
well about 1 year ago i was online and i seen this boy i practically liked i added him as a friend an we started talking for a bit after a while i wrote my number in private mail he lives about a half hour away from me, but he text me to my surprise and i was delighted, we soon were friends on facebook and i added him to my msn to this day were still together and i'm very happy that i gave him my number, i no there is some odd people out there but i'm sure if you get to no her an she is who she says she is, this could lead to a great friendship or maybe even more, dont look into it as odd cause it could be nothing really.
i hope this helps a little bit

people will have their different opinions but i think it does sound a bit weird, as she hasnt known you very long. follow your what your hearts tells you to do but remember just be careful.

Why is it odd? She probably felt comfortable as you already spoke for a while for you to add her on your facebook and MSN. Maybe she just wanted to give you her number as a friend, not a potential partner as she lives so far. U dont have to take her number if you dont want to.
Also, I maybe a little confused but u said she is in the same location as u thn u say she is 500 miles away...how big is ur area?

 It's as weird as you think it is. I don't think you have reason to be suspicious, yet. You have only been chatting for 2 hours. She's told you she has a boyfriend and you don't mention that she has been sugesstive, only friendly. 2 hours may seem a bit quick to give someone your phone number. But, I suppose if you met someone in real life, like in a pub, or book club, or gym for example, and got on well, you wouldn't think it odd.
I'd say, if she seems a nice girl, why not chat to her? You both have something in common, playing online games, so she might make a good friend. Only be wary if she starts wanting to meet up with you. I'm sure you know how to be careful when meeting people you meet on the internet.
Good luck :)
