I guess, these days, it's safer to have the guys phone number, than to risk giving out your own. It could be the way she is thinking on this. I have always given my number out, because , you are right, it kind of feels like she doesn't trust you before she even meets with you. Bringing this problem up before the first date is a good idea, and you don't always have to meet, if they tell you that they don't want to give you their phone number. You have to be safe as well

That is a real tough one... without her getting notice.

ALWAYS MAKE A FIRST DATE OVER THE PHONE!!! for now on! I don't like making my first impression on a woman over the phone (I do better in person) but I always bite the bullet and schedule a first date over the phone. (I am a heck of a lot of help for this situation... huh?)

You gotta learn from your mistakes. :-)

Finally got to open communication with this other match. We set a time and place tonight to meet. However, in her last e-mail to me, she said we should most likely be able to find each other by our pictures. I replied, really should exchange numbers. It will make it way easier to find each other in a busy place. Gave her mine, but never heard back.

Anyone know how to navigate this mine field?
If she's not willing to give me her number, I'm not going to bother meeting her.

Usually I would have already talked to her on the phone when we set up the meeting- I would not agree to a meeting arranged by email or text message if I had never talked to her on the phone, so this has never come up for me.

If I didn't already have the number, I'd say something like "Give me your cell number in case I get delayed on the way to [wherever we're meeting]"

After all, what if I get stuck in traffic or whatever on the way to meet her? Without her number there's no immediate way to let her know... or for that matter, what if I get there and don't see her? That happens, even if you know what the person looks like.

Once I was supposed to meet someone at Chilis but went to the wrong one. (There was more than one on the same road.) With cell phones it was easy to figure that out and meet- without them it would have looked like I was standing her up.

If she said no at that point, I'd laugh and ask why she wants to meet in person if she's not willing to give me her number, and if she still doesn't get it, I'd cancel the meeting. I'm looking for serious women who want to date someone, not people who act like they're in junior high.
