Did I do the right thing by not taking her number? And how can I stop worrying that every girl I meet might be lying about them being single?

A age 36-40, * writes:

I met a woman today when I was in my local city centre. I'm 23 years old, she's 25 - not much of an age difference really, in my opinion.

She seemed like a nice person and we got on well enough. She asked me if I wanted to walk her to the bus stop, and I did.

I told her she was attractive, and she said that it was a nice compliment, and said I was as well.

I asked her if she was single, and she said she had been for 3 years, and asked for my phone number, but since I'd only really just met her, and I had doubts as to whether she really was single, I declined to give that information saying "It's for my own personal safety, sorry!"

I said to her that I would give her my number if I saw her again in the city centre.

Have I done the right thing here, and how can I stop myself worrying whether people genuinely are single or not?? (I only worry about this because a friend of mine, Simon [not his real name], dated a girl for 6 months, only to find she wasn't really single at all, despite her claims of being single. That explains why I worry if people really are.)

All advice is appreciated, thanks.

Jamesy4444 agony auntwhy not give her your number? does it matter if she is single? you would never know until you got to know her anyway, if attractive women ask for your number its a BIG sign of their level of interest, and btw you are not your friend, live your life not his!!!
