About the Cell #

[Daikatana]

Ok, as you can see, I am new (Well post wise, I have been reading for weeks now, but since many questions have risen in my head, I wanted some information from the masters)

Ok, now what would you do in this type of situation, given the fact you already got the ballz to go up to her:

You: Blah Blah
Her: Blah Blah
You: Blah Blah
Her: Blah Blah
You: I have some business to attend to, can I have your HOME phone #?
Her: Can I give you my Cell # instead?

*Now I have been reading up on some other people's opinions, and some said that getting the Cell number is a bad idea.

My questions is, how would you handle this situation? And what would you say?

*Some things come to mind as to why she may want to give you the Cell instead of the Home, but I understand the Home # is best. Here are the things that come to my mind:

- Parents don't like people calling the house, thus she gives you the cell
- She doesn't have a home # but a cell (I know of some people who don't have a home # so thats why this came to my mind)
- Might not be really interested, but gives you a # to be nice.

Would you accept it and never call? Or what would you say? Some info would be most helpful.

Dude whoever said getting a cell # is a bad idea is an idiot.

I dont give my home # to anyone, not even my close friends. When im home im there for a reason and dont want my domain to be disturbed by bothersome calls.

Thats what cellys are for. Giving a cell # is common and questioning it is ridiculous. Stick with your instincts. Dont ask for home #'s. Get the cell, thats all you need bro. Wether she chooses to answer is on her.

A home # is a private thing, thats why its a big deal. Personally, I feel poweful having her home # . Anyways, I gave this girl my home # cause I had nothing on me at the time and had no cell either (I was at a dance, and we got it on pretty well). She rang me on her cell and left her cell #. So, shortly after I got a cell, and asked her for her phone # after our second get together. She gave it to me, but told her not to call her on it cause the cell was better. I think that was cause of her parents, but being the ass I am I called her at home and her mom awnsered but didnt ask any questions. I told her Im home this weekend (Im away for school) and she told me she didnt know if she was free. So I told her to call me the next day cause I had to know by then (BS, but ultimatums rock), but I never a recieved a call.

A) Used the home #! BAD BAD idea. This girl was 15, btw.
B) See A
C) A and B
D) All of the above

I dont know what the hell Renegades saying (calling a girl on her home phone isnt wrong unless specified-as in your case), but a cell number isnt known as unwanted around here. A home number is preferable, but the cell is nearly just as good.

I belive you are mixing up CELL number and WORK number. The work number is the number that, if given, guys here would decline it.

Personally, I'd much prefer the cell # to the home #.
I got this one girls # last week, had so much in common, so much to talk about, it's uncanny. However, she told me that she doesn't have a cell; just the landline. No answering machine, no voice mail - nothing!

I've called 2x during the week, and no answer. She didn't have my number, so she couldn't be screening my call, I wouldn't think.

I'd much prefer to have her cell #, if she had a cell.
Because, then if I got no answer, I'd know to move on. Now, my queue is getting jammed up. I have to move on and wait until I see her again.

But that's life, and there are plenty more where she came from.
