Being Me -
No, don't give out your cell number. And don't bother with anyone long distance.

What if you decide you don't like the guy, or he has stalker tendencies - you don't want him calling your cell phone all the time.

Also - long distance folks are more likely to be scammers.

The way I see it - the online connection is just the first step to meeting in person. Don't get caught up in developing a relationship online - you may not be attracted at all once you meet. Just get to the coffee date and decide.

(P.S> some guys want your cell number so they can text you photos of their junk lol)
