If he's hot and seems fun and interesting, sure (um, and if I'm single, of course).
This is an instance where I'm really glad to be my age, so I can say: IN MY DAY nobody gave email addresses or screen names to people they just met, and relationships developed in person rather than online. How has the internet changed dating?

OMG YES.
I have a friend (mid 20s) who went out of town for a football game with a guy she never even met in person, just emails and IMs. I can't even imagine.

Man, I just can't bring myself to do stuff like that! I would much, much rather give a guy my phone number than my email or screen name. Besides, letting guys get to know you behind the security blanket of a computer is too easy...if they're really serious about getting to know me, they can gather up the balls and dial the phone.

I'm definitely not super approachable...this is actually something I have discovered about myself.... BUT I would probably give my number if the guy was persistent enough to talk to me.

I'm pretty approchable, and as long as I got a good vibe (and if I was still single) I would have given my #. But my # is a cell phone registered in my Dad's name. It's difficult to track down a cell phone, and as many phishing emails I'm sure my mom's replied to (she's a dip like that), I'm sure half of America has there info anyway.

i would totally give away my phone number. he can't look up my address from it, since it's a cell, and if he starts calling incessantly, i'd just let my voice mail get it and delete the messages later. besides, i never use all my monthly minutes anyway and my life always needs more excitement.

(Veemers! Long time no see!)
If he seemed like someone I wanted to know better, I would give him my cell number. If I don't want to talk to him it would just go to voice mail. 
If he's annoying, I'd give him 1-900-SHEMALE.

How approachable are you?
|
I'm somewhat approachable, however, I would be scared of a guy that I didn't at least know through other people. I would give him my number, but I would try to get to know him better, like seeing if we had any friends in common. It is a small world.
I have run into some psycho guys, even with my little background checks.

i would not give him my number but i would be happy to take his.
of course, there is no guarentee that i would call him. i have taken a few numbers and threw them out before i left the place where we met. i have taken a few numbers and thought about it, but never called. and i have called a few. there are just too many creepy people out there to pass out your phone number randomly.

Yeah, I'm stuck there too with new technology... Glad I'm not on the market anymore, I'd be obsolete...

It hasn't changed dating for me! 
I'm all about the old-fashioned date. And, to answer James's question...yes, I would.

Sure. Usually my e-mail address.

Even if he's flirty, you get a good vibe from him, and has good convo with you, there's no guarantee that deep down, he's psycho.
|
But there's no guarantee about that no matter how you meet him, even if he's your classmate, co-worker, etc. Unless you want to restrict your dating pool to people you've known since they were in diapers, at some point you have to communicate with people who might be psycho. There are ways to responsibly handle that risk (don't get into his car, meet in publc, etc.).
