Contact numbers

[Karl_gustav1]

I have recently made an approach via aw mail to a couple of profiles, asking g some basic questions about their services, that are not listed or are unclear in their profile.
However, all I’ve had in response is a blunt “can I have your contact number”

As it’s not certain i want to move forward without having those questions answered, I am reluctant to provide this. I am also a little concerned about the number being sold on or being used for scams and the like.

Am I overreacting, or paranoid?

If it's your punting phone number, less of an issue (as you'd probably want to refresh your burner phone number every so often anyhow).

If it's your personal phone number, you're a madman for not having a punting phone number.

Sounds like the SP (like myself) finds direct contact easier, does the information on her profile support this? She may also be receiving a high volume of enquiries hence bluntness. I am wondering if the SP's contact number is displayed on her profile?

I guess it's easier for the WG to send a message via What's App / text than to mess around with the AW system.  I would have no issues with passing on my punting phone number in this situation.

It could be that the SP prefers to discuss some things directly without going through the AW messaging system

It’s this.

It also sounds like you’re using a personal phone number OP from the way you’re coming across because who would care about a punting number.

They’re (WG’s) will most likely want to contact via text or call rather then email which is a lot longer as they’ll need  to take time and log in rather than just texting.

So it’s a preference. Yours is email, theirs is text.

If you want prompt responses, text/call.

Exactly, Lot's of girls just don't have the time / patience to deal with responses on AW.
