She gave me her number so we can text...

    So I've been talking to this girl who lives in my state (but she lives a good several hour drive away...) for a couple weeks now. Even though we've only been talking for a couple weeks, we've gotten to know a lot about each other and have a lot in common. She gave me her number so we can text to talk more, but the thing is, I don't know if I should. I'm attracted to her and she's awesome and I feel a serious connection to her, but I'm just a bit paranoid. I use my iPod for texting (via a texting app) and not a typical cell phone, I've always been taught never to give my number out so I'm a bit nervous and paranoid. I trust her, but... should I text her? Am I just being overly paranoid and stupid? I know she's who she says she is and not a forty year old male creeper, but still... :bang: If it helps any, I was thrilled when she told me her number, in fact my reaction was (!) this. Maybe it's just my anxiety being stupid? I know this is really just a stupid thread but.... :eusa_doh: :help::help::help:

    She entrusted you with her number and was probably feeling the same anxiety before giving it to you. Sometimes, it's a risk one has to take. You've already met face-to-face prior to her giving you her number, so you know each other in person already, it's not like you're giving out your number to a stranger you've been chatting to online in the hopes of then meeting them in person sometime in the future... So if I were you, I'd take the plunge. Perhaps I've just got my rose coloured glasses on but I really don't see anything wrong with doing so. Texting is a wonderful way to stay in touch if you can't be near each other every day. Best of luck :thumbsup:

    Like you said, you feel a great connection with her, and you know she is who she says she is. So I think you should go for it. :grin:
