Last night I was speaking to this guy from here for about an hour or so on messenger before he asked me to call him. He seemed harmless enough, but wasn't sure how well we were clicking. I agreed to call, thinking maybe some of our typed conversation was getting lost in translation... maybe I'd like him a little more if I was actually hearing what he was saying instead of reading it.. some people just aren't good at typing...

K, so, I call (forgetting to block my # on the first call like I usually do), and we get along at first. It takes a total of 20 minutes though to decipher that we are just totally incompatible for anything other than friends. Nothing wrong with that in my book, right? Wrong. I told him that "I think you and I could be good friends, but probably nothing more. What do you say we be friends and maybe over time who knows?" He goes OFF saying he has enough friends and was looking for someone to be with and blah blah blah. I listened to his rants for about 5 minutes to be fair to him, but it was all just whining. I told him "I'm going to hang up now, you have a good night." He practically stalks me on messenger for the next half hour and calls me over and over and over and over for about 2 hours. I answered once to tell him to stop calling, and he was freaking me out. So what does he do? Blocks his number when he calls again...lol, like I wouldnt' know who it was? Okay.. just thought it was slightly freaky and funny and thought I'd share my interesting Mingle encounter. Are there any normal people on here?

The "immediate gratification" crowd is a hoot. Not worth bothering with, but a hoot from a distance, anyway.

That's why I don't call any guys from this site .... ever.

How long were u speaking to him before u gave him ur msngr addi??

some people are just jerks..

This is why I usually go to Skype first before I allow my number to be given out.
Some people just don't take rejection well.

I'm not sure about doing things the way he did, but for myself if it's not going to happen, I'm on to the next one, I as well have enough friends & probably would not pursue a friendship with someone either.

Well messenger is no big deal cus I just put him on block...lol. Its the phone thing that was the most "oh my god, are you kidding?"

Oh really, you had me on the phone for 2 hours last night, I knew it, your a jerk just like all the guys here

Thats someone's perogative I guess, but what sense does it make to not make a friend out of it? They could be more in the future once you really get to know them and work out kinks in your personality differences over time. I personally welcome new friends all the live long day, I feel you can never have too many.

I can't afford skype...lol. I normally just block my number on the first call. Just a slip up and thats what it gets me...lol. I'll certainly not do that again

Well firstly, i havent gave out my personal addi to any guys online for a LONG time, and thats because my account was hacked.

I learned that unless u had spent quite a lot of time gettin to know someone thru a site, dont give ur addi out. Theres nothing u can say in msngr that u cant say here. Its a process...


Firstly, get to know in Pm, then, move from that to msngr...then, progress to cam chats, THEN, after a while, if ur comfortable, exchange numbers. It should be a process that takes time....if ya rush into these things, ya will attract all the jerks.

Skype is free if you are just doing voice and webcam chat. It is only 6.95 a month for unlimited calling world wide. I have used Skype or Yahoo voice chat forever. Both are free and a bit safer. Since like you I would forget to block my number.

you can call me anytime, hehe

my number is 555-mmmm

I don't use the messenger on here, it always lets viruses onto my computer. I gave him my least used messenger name, and then blocked him from it. Trust me, after talking to him for a little while you realize he's lucky to tie his shoes every morning...lol. I can't see him having the ability to hack.

I didnt mean msngr on here, i just meant private mail....

My point was u shouldnt rush into giving strangers ur private email address, and also never underestimate a scorned man.

My computer is way too slow for any of that...lol. I have to take my chances. I rarely forget to block my number (only like 2 times in the last year, first time turned out okay...lol) I usually chat online for a few days before I even consider calling, but he asked and I was like "what can it hurt?" He doesn't really seem like a threat, just really sadly desperate.

Normal? Sounds boring. On a positive note, he doesn't know where you live, right?
