Zen, you can *69 him so he won't have your number. If you feel okay after the call, ask a large male friend to come over and be there for the pickup.

if you have gmail, you can get a google voice acct. I hardly ever give out my "real" numbers since having google voice.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just found out from FB that my brother is "in a relationship". With a woman older than I am.

I really hope he actually told my parents first, rather than having them find out through FB.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I, um, don't know what *69 is. Also, I don't have any male friends in this town.

I'll check this out!

Whoa. Facebook is not the best way to communicate such information.

Isn't *69 for calling someone back?
I would just email back and ask what he wants to know, or just ignore it altogether.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Zen, that's exactly why I sold my elliptical on Facebook last week. I didn't want any strangers coming to my house. At least I know everyone who reads my Facebook feed. Maybe try that? It worked out well for me. I'm thinking of trying it again, after seeing a friend sell all of the furniture in her apartment on Facebook in 12 hours getting ready to leave for the Peace Corps.
And you could make a list of only-locals, if you don't want to bother others with it.

Or yeah, what brenda said. If the guy doesn't meet your terms, wait for someone who does.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, when I've sold on craigslist, I just email back anyone who wants me to call. Although if you'r sketchy about strange men in your home, you might want to hear a voice first. Or, like they said, try friends and friends-of-friends.

I think *70 is the code to block your number from caller ID, but it would be best to check your local carrier, just in case it is region specific or something.
I'm pretty sure there is now a charge for that function. Though, it would be totally worth it in the case of creepy people.

And ita, much empathy. Call me if I can help with anything.
