Why won’t this organizer give me her personal number but adds me on Facebook?

[Sean Dalt]

I was going to an event and this organizer wanted to get to know me so she sends me a friends request on Facebook and tells me about a party event that I should really go to. I send a request asking for her number so I can get a hold of her for more questions and she tells me she is sorry but she doesn’t give her personal number out! I ask her why and she won’t go into it and says it isn’t appropriate to have her personal number.

If she is that personal, why would she add me on Facebook then but not give me her number?!! She adds me as a friend and I would think Facebook is more personal than just a cell phone number!! She has lots of private information on her Facebook too! Should I get an IPHONE where I can call someone on Facebook anyway or chat on Facebook with the APP and go on chat where you don’t need someone’s number? Are most people nowadays just using Facebook on the go? Is an IPhone helpful to communicate people while on the go on Facbeook?

But back to the organizer, she gives everyone else her number but treats me like I am retarded and that I am not capable of calling her! Why is that? Why won’t she give me her number? If she was that paranoid about privacy, she shouldn’t have me on Facebook.

If you dont know her in person then of course shes not gonna give you her number. Seriously being friends on fb isnt the same as having someone number. If you have her number you can call her up 24 7. You can sign her up to porn sites. You can sign her up for spam and god knows what else. You honestly do sound like a stalker.
And even if you do know her in person, I only give VERY close friends my number, not random weirdos.

A phone number is much more personal than Facebook. You can call her anytime and be much more annoying than on Facebook or on here. Obviously you are obsessed with this and I wouldn't give it to you either.

People give their phone numbers when they trust people. Obviously she doesn't trust you yet and the more you push the less likely she is to trust you. It's easy to unfriend someone on Facebook, not so easy to take back a phone number.

On Facebook, she has more control over who sees her information. She also has control over when and if she responds to messages.

Because you are so obsessed with this issue and are trying to think of ways to chat with her via phone without her giving you her number, it seems like she made the right choice in NOT giving her number to you.

Respect her wishes and don't even try calling her. Message her on Facebook if you have questions. Right now, you're showing us all here that you have "stalker" tendencies.

You are also showing us that you are rude and inconsiderate not only for asking how you can bypass the no phone number thing, but by your insulting use of the word "retarded" when it comes to her reason not to give you the number. Again...I think she made a good decision when it comes to you.

Abide by her wishes.
