cardiactec Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 do you think it is odd that someone changes their telephone number TWICE within a month?I went out on a date with this guy a couple weeks ago. we met a month ago and within the first week of meeting/talking to him he told me he had to change his cell phone number (no reason given). a few days ago he changed his number again - reason this time? he kept getting calls from AZ.Do you think this is odd? I am wondering if this is a HUGE red flag that I should be paying attention to ??the guy is a trauma surgeon, so I don't know if it is possible that he is just getting random calls from people he doesn't know because of his profession or if I should be concerned?What do you all think?

Noreen Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Not necessarily.Assuming he had valid reasons for changing his number the first time, the phone company could have given him a number that collection agencies still have in their databases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me that a surgeon would want to keep his private number private, or he would have no life at all. Lots of people would think nothing of calling their doctor on his private cell phone anytime, if they had the number. In fairness, doctors deserve a personal life too. That might mean having to change the number now and then. I wouldn't be worried about it at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I wouldn't worry. The practice/hospital that he works for may be switching phone companies/plans and he may have gotten a bum phone the first time. IF he doesn't call YOU at all, then I'd say its a message.

cardiactec Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 not sure ..... i am good friends with a few different doctor's (not my OWN doctor's) and they have all had the same cell phone numbers for years .....I do appreciate the advise here. It does offer a different perspective than from what some of my friends have suggested (one made a comment about the surgeon being a "psycho path killer" -- a little extreme and i think probably biased in that the guy that made the comment wants to date me! lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbella Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Phones today are so annoying. I have friends that have new cell phones and they come up with someone else's name on my caller id and they don't even know it. So this friend of yours could possibly be getting someone else's old # and calls which are quite annoying. They do just reassign #'s these days. Strange but true...Bellamia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbella Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 he should also enter the numbers into the website whocalled, think that is it and report these numbers. there are several others also that list annoying calls to see if there is a link.Bellamia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
