When is it ok to exchange phone numbers?
We've all been chatting on the forum about what makes a good profiles and
initial messaging but when is the best time to give out our phone numbers,
move to another app for messaging or chat on the phone?

Kik is best I find or a duel phone use can use for two different numbers but remember a tracker can be put on a phone which can easily catch someone out

Not really too sure about giving out a number , I use a different app so it’s a bit easier than having a phone call just when it’s a bit awkward.

KIK seems like a good half way house so to speak and when you feel comfortable you can always then give out your telephone number.
As for profiles I have no idea what makes a good or a bad one but I have to say I prefer one that's not generated by the system

I agree with several comments not to give out your number until you really know the person .It's too stressful if you have a partner and you never know when they might want to borrow your phone .Not to mention checking it if that way inclined .It's easier to ring someone and withold your number .I'm about to change my number to prevent messages out of the blue from people I spoke to years ago .Blocking doesnt work if they change their number .I think I was initially trying to establish trust and being genuine by allowing them to know my number. Silly me, it just leaves you open to desperate Dans!

I have a punt phone. The number can be changed easily. One useful recognition tool is the human voice. It's always remembered. If I recognise a wrong un, its over there and then.
But also its the nature of the correspondent, that is conveyed in the voice. Very useful to know early on. If the tones are suitable, we progress to phone 2. This is the ie phone.
So for me a phone call early in the events is an important factor.
Some sense of security is sensible. But if its so much of a concern, and prone to creating obstacles is this the life for you?

Ultimately it's whatever you're comfortable with in my book. I need to be 100% before giving my contact details as I've been somewhat harassed in the past, but lessons learned xx

I cannot understand the obsession with KiK - it is overloaded with pop up ads and I don't like it...
A better and more secure app for me is Telegram. It allows you to PIN protect on your phone and/or desktop and also to hide private message streams. So even if your phone is viewed by a suspicious partner any private illicit conversations can remain secure....
I guess like the dated format of this site people don't move on...
Just my six pence worth.... 😂

Perhaps easier than you may think m’lady.
When Sir Stud has scribed his credentials, sealed with a blob of wax , had them delivered by trusted man servant....this leads to a walk, perhaps afternoon tea and then a window/door left unlocked one dark night.....all while the head of the house is away for months maybe years pillaging and conquering in the name of the Empire 👍
Sounds better than a 2 hour quickie in a Novotel don’t you think??
