Act in haste. Regret at leisure.
WhatsApp can often be linked to your other social media.
We met a policeman a couple of years ago.
Shared our WhatsApp and he stalked us on Facebook and mentioned details of our lives that he didn’t need to.
Have a burner phone now, linked to nothing but WhatsApp. |

We give our number out once we have chatted for a while and feel confident
We like to meet for social first so giving out our WhatsApp allows our potential meet to know where we are sitting or if they or us are running late
Obviously there could be a problem giving out number but life is full of risks if you don’t throw the dice your never going to get a 6 |

My views are I would never give out my main phone number. We have a fab phone which we've used pre meeting but if anyone wanted to talk away from here they had to do it in person over a cup of coffee.
Remember you can report stuff if it's in a pm on here. Not so much if it's on WhatsApp or any other platform |

Keep in mind some social profiles can be searched by your cellphone number. That said, no harm in moving a conversation to WhatsApp if you're actually looking to meet folk.
People are far too precious about a number, which you can change, than actually having sex with other people's partners.
There is a fine line about swapping g numbers but frankly you really should be having a voice convo before you're meeting a stranger for sex. It's a good filter if you're not sure, as if they can't hold a phone cpnvo it'll just be weird when you meet them. |

I avoid all telegram requests simply because of the fakes and the platform and users of the site treat it as an escape...
I don't mind WhatsApp because I'm genuine and expect to meet the same type of adult. |

I view it the same as people asking to take discussions off-site to any media, etc.
It's invariably them wanting to avoid the possibility of scrutiny via Fab, or -mostly - to get wank fodder for instant gratification.
It's a massive red flag 🚩 for me and is a good filter. Some people might also be trying to break the law, etc. AVOID is my general opinion.
I take ages to get to know others and to meet. And it's done via Fab or in person. |

After what happened to a family member we know Telegram isn't secure, security is optional on it. She was part of an organised social group chat and they found all the groups pictures and messages via a deep web search. Fabs not much better so be careful and make sure all the optional security around Google is check to keep you safe and not searchable external to Fab |

"WhatsApp is not end to end secure despite all the claims tha it is.
Don’t know about telegram.
Signal is one of most secure, not used it for a little while so not up to date with its features."
Nothing will be secure one client side scanning is enabled on phones and computers. |

If someone's asking for your number after 5 minutes, I'd put money on it being so they can offer you the chance to meet them in return for a reward, to spoil then, to treat them, or any of the other ways of saying the same thing. Or to sell you their content.
I'd say there's a smaller, but still possible, chance that if it's not one of the above, they're trying to get your number for some other reason that isn't meeting you. To sell, to scam you, something like that.
There is, of course, a tiny chance they're genuine, but frankly, it's just as easy to have the conversation on here as anywhere else if they are.
Cynical, moi...? Never. |

I keep my phone number private until the day of planned meet, for emergencies only, if I'm meeting someone new. I see no problem with chat options on here, I am not into camming or exchanging tons of photos/videos, and I like the option on here that if I'm offline, I can't expected to answer my messages. Way too many people misunderstand the "instant" in "instant messaging apps" and expect reply within seconds. Otherwise they bombard you with messages. |
