I dropped of a card and candy on her doorstep and she txted me back with appreciation and telling me she missed me and how things were going. (she is a very busy nursing student about to graduate so she really want to finish school strong.) She called me later that night but when she called me is showed up as "private number" which I thought was odd because in the 2 yrs we have been dating her phone call has never shown up as a private number...should I ask her or question her about why she had her phone set to private? I haven't inquired about it yet but it seems odd to me..any advice?? Reply to this Question

jazzlover is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks for your answers. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I will probably ask her why she had it set to private but that was Thursday night so maybe I'll just forget about it. I don't know why i didn't ask at the time she called cuz when I answered I told her that I wasn't sure to answer cuz her phone call came up private number. She said "Oh" paused a moment and then said "yeah it's me". Then i was quiet for a sec and she said "hello?" Then we went back to our conversation. I didn't ask her why and she didn't tell me why. When she called me Friday her caller i.d. was back to normal. I just got weirded out cuz ive not received a private number call from any girl in over two years before i even met my girlfriend. I used to do online dating and women alot of times wouldn't give their numbers out initially so they would call my number on private for the first time to be safe. I wont give it another thought unless she calls me on private again. Thanks.

She’s obviously not trying to hide her number from you, otherwise she wouldn’t have texted you. Perhaps she didn’t call from her phone but some-one else’s, for example a work mobile. Or she used her personal phone to call some-one who she didn’t want to have her number, for instance she made a work call so didn’t want the other person to have her personal number, and then forgot to set her number public again. I’ve done this before when my work phone was broken, I was out of office and needed to speak to some-one quite urgently so used my personal phone and withheld my number. The fact is nothing’s been hidden from you, so don’t worry about it and focus on rebuilding the relationship.
I wish you all the very best.

 I don't think there is anything to worry about. I've set my number to private to call back a strange number that showed up on my phone (in case it was a telemarketer), and sometimes I forget to switch back to show caller ID.
You should ask her anyway. When I call my friends with a private number, they always ask why I made it private, and that's when I realize that I forgot to switch it back.
So to answer your question, Yes you should ask her, but don't make a big deal about it.
