I have never been like THAT!

no no no.. that's strictly reserved for the kids!

That is because the man struggles to get a word in.

You did what!? I told you I was going to call one of these days.

I find it too weird if a guy gives me his number after only one or two days. What does he expect me to say to him? Awkward. At least give me a few months, before you do that. I usually first, do answer machine messages, so it doesn't feel as intimidating. Some men always just want a woman that badly, that they give their number out to just anyone. And I'd rather have a clear view of who he is, before accepting his number.

Dude, am calling her rite before am not able to hear her phone ring when we walk our own seperate ways then if it rings?I'll proberly call anywhere from a day and a half -to about say a week depends on how strong the connection between us..and you dont want to wait to long to seem unintersted...but at the same time not to soon to seem desprate and not to often to be annoyin..lol the reason i said right as we walk away was to make sure its her real number..some chicks play games..but you can use your discretion with whom your dealing with...thats my 5cents on that lol!!!

This is such an individual thing. Speaking for me only here, I only date local so I see no reason why someone I am showing mutual interest in can't meet me in 2 weeks. Or have a good reason why. If he needs more time to get his nerve up he is really not my type. Until I get that in person use of all my senses I don't want texting, too long of a talk on the phone, etc. Just enough to cover deal breakers.

So many out there that are married,misrepresenting or have no intention of ever coming from behind the laptop, etc. Time is precious. You meet more people out in the real world anyway and can bypass the B.S. easier.

I don't mind talking on the phone, but I don't like talking for hours on end. I'd rather call and make plans to meet up in person rather then chit chat the night away, unless of course it was someone extra special.

actually it MAY still be etched on one of the bathroom stalls over in the pub

...WHAT'SAPP...
THAT'S ALL I GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT..

I take things slow. there are folk on here I would not mind having a phone convo with....some as friends ... some as possible more...I think things just need to naturally progress there. Where you have emailed to the point that a phone convo just feels like the right nest step.

the biggest mistake I have made on here as far as meet ups is not waiting long enough to make it is really worth meeting or talking on the phone :)

honestly this photo and the post after it are offensive. Why can't we have a thread that does not some how have to bash women with a negative stereotype? just once PLEAZZZZZE

Look....I just do not accept collect calls. And then there are those chicks who charge $3.99 the first minute, and then $.99 each additional minute.

K. So this is my insight;
Have you ever read a book and LOVED it? And then when the movie came out, you went to see it and were SOooooo disappointed!?!
That's what it's like on a dating site.
When we're texting, we can add smiley faces or sad faces... we give hugs readily and they are usually returned... it's like reading a book.. "John looks hopefully at sarah.."
When you see the movie, it doesn't "describe" feelings, etc...
So you wonder what the person is feeling/thinking....
I'm not sure if I've explained this well, but hopefully you understand what I'm getting at.
So I'd rather see the movie first, then read the book :)

If it was someone I met in real on the street, wouldn't have an issue giving my number. Now as for on here, the chances of me meeting anyone that I'd wanna share my number with to continue talking with are slim. If they're not in reason of actually possibly meeting, then why can't we just email? I can't stand texting really, and only like to be on the phone a minimal amount of time. If I really am wanting to converse, chances are we'll figure out a way to get to hang out and actually talk.

I agree with this

Hi Scoob.
Hope everything is going great.

I'm a people person so for the most part I enjoy talking to people.
But I can understand where there are some who feel more comfortable emailing. I can do that too if it helps put someone at ease. I would hope they would feel comfortable with me.

In today's world. Even those of us who enjoy talking are often busy. That's another reason why I text and email. You can get to it when ever.
You start getting to know each other, then make time to talk or hang out.


Anyway, that's my two cents for what it's worth. Send you a big hug, Scoob

Hi ya ((((Dream)))), things have been going pretty good. Hope things have been going good for U 2! Hugs back

Humm since the ones I talk to from online are just friends then there is no time limit..

As far as ones I may be interested in I seek local only. And I'm one of those that feel why waste time lets meet and see if it is worth getting to know each other...

I don't believe in exchanging e-mails for long periods of time when they live within my area... You never know a person till you get to talk to them face to face...

Find a public place meet them and see where it may go... I know I'm not getting any younger.. Life is too short not to take a few chances..

But now if I give out my number to those local and right off the bat they start with the sexually stuff... I will not even meet them or give them a second thought. Get to know me before you even go there...

Sorry you feel that way.
But I do love the irony of it all.
