When i first came here and met some filipinas we have exchanged contact numbers(homeline and mobile numbers). I never thought of what will happen for i was so eager to make friends with them. When i want to call them i simply dial and don't hide my number but when they call me they do hide it. No one told me about this even my closest friend who has been here for 20 yrs probably bec she never experienced miscalls. Same with my husband.
There are some who wants to befriend me and so they call and i appreciate it but when i call back i've noticed the number is withheld. Why?
WE can do that i guess just once if we want to ask something but not twice, thrice etc. If they want us as their friend why is it one-way?
One filipina said she experienced miscalls on her mobile and so she changed it but she maintained her homeline and so the misscalls which is disturbing her even during the wee hours. I understand that that's why she chooses her friends as what she told me. She calls me so she wants me as her friend but why hide the phone number? If she doesn't like me as a friend then why call me and always have a good chat?
Only filipinas hide their contact numbers. I have friends of different nationalities and i can return the call......
Any thoughts about this?
Cheers!
