Digit regret
Lately I've been giving out my phone number a little too freely. Sometimes I think I'm interested and realize later that I'm not. Sometimes I just have a hard time saying no, especially when the guy has put in the time (and possibly the money for a drink). It's, I guess, easier to hand out the number now and ignore the call later than reject someone to their face.
I used to give people a fake number but then that backfired when, in a moment of stupidity, I gave someone a fake name but the real number. Needless to say, he called and got my real name from my voicemail and proceeded to call back about five more times, presumably to call me out on my cowardice!
It's not a big deal but the next few entries from the unbuttoned crew are all about regrets. I try not to have too many, and regretting giving someone my phone number doesn't rank too high. I'm wondering though, have you ever given someone your phone number and then immediately regretted it? What should I do about my reluctance to turn people down?

That's the reason they make select call forwarding. A few dollars a month and this feature allows you to "select" a particular number(s) and forward them to another number.
Just wait till they call, get their number off the caller-id, and enter it into your call-forwarding list.
I used to forward my mother-in-law to the local gay bar, when I didn't want to talk to her. Works pretty well.

Good grief -
I was just browsing when I saw "Dating Scene" coupled with "Digit Regrets" and decided to take a look-see -
How surprised was I to see that "Digit Regrets" refered to telephone numbers -
