A subject was brought up by a friend about being out on dates and meeting guys you want to give your number to.

So, if you were out on a date and ran across another person that caught your eye, would you give your number to that other person?

I know there are many variables to consider on this. Length you've known the person you are out with. Does the relationship seem to be heading anywhere? Where you are? (date location) Other stuff as well.

Thoughts?

How long you've known your date or where you see it going is beside the point, it's a date, giving your number to another bloke in the middle of it would be beyond rude, you might as well just invite him to your table and tell the first guy to take a hike.

Two thumbs down for the post (I agree with gothus and newbie).

I would not feel good accepting that kind of phone number from a girl (who's on a bad date). If she could do it to her date, she could very well do it to me.

If a person on a date is considering giving or getting a number from someone else while on the date, then that person is waisting their date's time.

The same goes for people who text or sneaks in phone calls with other people they are dating while on a date. It's rude and a waste of the othe person's time.

If you really must do this, then end the date with the person you are with first, then come back and try for the number.

If I were on a date and the man I was with did that, I would be very happy to give the woman who caught his eye his number myself...lol. (After all, I wouldn't be needing it again! )

I don't care how much you dislike your date, going off to flirt with another guy and giving him your number is beyond rude. As others have already pointed out, the other guy is probably not going to think much of you either.

Let me tell you something:


That is the * ULTIMATE * insult.


If you EVER did that, to me -- and I saw it, I would turn and exit for the last time without so much as a word.


Hopefully leaving you stuck with the check, if it was possible.


That is so far beyond rude, it is beneath contempt.

Mark of a serial cheater, beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I would hope people like that would never spawn; but usually, they do.

I thought we decided a long time ago that a person's "number" is nobody else's business.
