You just have the unfortunate condition of "too_young-itis". I watched my sons go through this painful stage of dateing life and I know it really stinks.

Your best bet is just jump into forums and be respectful, light hearted, and try not to whine. GENERALLY the folks in Mingleland will hopefully get to know you and include you. Believe it or not we don't eat out young if you try not to step on the play.

Remember JUST because someone older talks to you even just a couple years they probably DON'T have the hots for you so toss the fantasy garbage and be grateful you are at the grown up table.

I will only after I have chatted or emailed here for a bit , never just because they said hi or how was your day though and especially if their profile has NO information about them

Sometimes they change personality, when they get your number and call! I had to tell a man, don't call back, cause he needed the 800# sex talk!

both.
depends.
there is nthng wrong with the chat as well, if already some distance is taken.

with my friend from here, i offered giving my chat contact before he did, and it was right after the very few emails
and it lasted for a year
it depends on the chemistry.

i really do not understand these regulations women put
chat vs mail
not phone number but just mail
if he calls or if he texts
who has to call, woman or man
hey!! u have instincts
u have feelings
and brain to judge things
follow them
this is not maths! this is not equations!
this is hearth!
just listen to ur inside voice.

So i just got played by a female, gave me her Skype acc and asked me if i would accept her free private show which i did, later on she recorded me playing with my dragon and tried to blackmail me. Well i know i ****ed up but I'm nothing but a human being and i wish ya'll can learn from my mistake and never trust strangers even if they're offering whatever will seduce you.

i am judging God, why he wasted his his time for such idiots!

I am more private person, I have never ever gave my emails out. Exchanging phone numbers might be more acceptable to me, but only when I am ascertain I would like him and be meeting up in person.

I really don't mind just doing the email texting here. I may be slow at typing, I'm a 1 finger pecker, lol,. I find that once I feel more comfortable with the person I am chatting with it may be possible to go off site, but I will not phone anyone unless I am actually going to meet in person. I also will not contact someone if it's going to cost me money.

So to sum up, everyone is different in what they want, but if I want the real deal, texting is a great way to play it safe until I feel comfortable with who I am taking to, cheers

Giving out private email is pretty much the same story as giving out phone number that I won't repeat here.

If someone gets your private email they can get a lot of information you don't even realize is out there about you. Just for the personal education look up your email and or phone number because it is a real wake up call.

I don't easily go off-site, but have done occasionally, and then gone to email instead. I use a gmail account for that, not my regular email addy. What's the big deal? You can make a gazillion gmail accounts for all kinds of purposes. I use an alias, no photo, nothing.

The main reason i prefer to not go off-site is that I cannot be bothered to have to log in to yet another site when I'm already on dating-site X Y or Z.
If I don't see the added value of going to email, then he'll have to make do with the messaging option of the dating-site, or take a hike.

All past tense for me btw, cos even though I wrote that in present tense, I'm not available anymore

. Wow.

both

no way

I prefer conversing via messages on the site and then once i feel comfortable I use apps like Voxer or KIK(preferably Voxer). That way you can continue to chat without giving away any personal info.
