In the 80's, one was cautious about giving out their phone numbers just in case the guy was a creep, if the relation turned bad. Less ways for the person to interfere with their lives.
These days, however, with as cheap as cell phones can be, one can have a throw away line. The test phone to see if it works out and if it doesn't, he is left with ringing the phone now left in the drawer or even better, a GO phone without a phone card.
Of course, in the current era, I really haven't thought like that. The schedule or really, lack there of, in my life really doesn't permit even hunting and being out of my time line, having to date outside of town really complicates it. When you really can't talk about it what you do because if people knew about what you did they tend to scatter, it gets difficult.
But having recently had to activate my plan of a second cell phone for auxilary operations, now the question was there: after this mission is over, what do you want to do with that second phone that you are paying for?
And there we go: a reason to be secretative and mysterious about it.........for a very understandable reason.
