Definitely wait until you get to know more about someone and feel ready before giving out your number or meeting in person. It is best to err on the side of caution. If the person you are communicating with is legit and really interested, they will take the time to get to know more about you on-site before moving forward. I have encountered the same situation time and time again.


As did I, and when she finally decided to meet, I had to let her know that I had started seeing someone else that was interested in more than just a "'net thing."

However I told her she had top billing in the "Friends Zone". shades

She seemed upset for some reason.shocked


Gee. Usually you hear about guys complaining about being in the friend zone. lol

Funny thing... When chicks say they want you to "wait for them" they seem to think you will immediately place your life on hold, and sit like a puppy looking out the windows waiting for his Master (or Mistress) to return.

Telling me I have to wait, is telling every other woman they have a green light. pitchfork

Hi. I'm fairly new to this site and have come across alot of scammers who after sending 2 or 3 msgs on mingle ask to chat on yahoo. So yes you should be cautious.

While I'm sure this doesn't apply to all of them. I usually see people saying they are god fearing as a red flag. Pretty much everyone I have talked to who said they were god fearing ended up being a scammer.

It's just about like watching TV and you see someone saying they are not gay and how they need to stop the gay agenda. All the while they snorting cocaine and banging gay hookers. hahaha

Hard to trust someone. Usually people ask me to exchange telephone numbers, skype-adress etc. after chatting 2 minutes. Thats the reason i am careful now and ask them to find me on Drigga first. ;-(

If you feel comfortable with it, and she isn't giving off any bad impression could be she just wants to get to know you on a different level. Doesn't mean shes out for the worst i have emailed to message off site before. It may also be easier for her then this websites layout. I wouldn't look to far into it


bingo! Mingle is a cool world and we love it, but there's a world (a few of them I hear) outside of Mingle, and I have had some cool times when taking something from here to the outside of here.

Everything has a context and a place. Sometimes that place is here and sometimes not. No reason why they can't co-mingle.

Did you guys like the way I fit "mingle" in co-mingle?

No,I'd say,don't go offsite yet! If she's genuine,she'll stick it out!

Ok. First thing first. I'm new to this site. Got this women I'm talking to she ask me to talk to her. Off site. Is this usual


I have little faith anymore in how genuine people are when starting to email someone new, so if they say they are interested in me I request a Skype call so we can see each other. If they do not have Skype then I request a photo of them holding a Playing Card and if they agree to do this I will send them my home email address so they can send the photo to me. I have found that these polite requests soon discover the scammers, and I cannot see giving anyone my email address will cause me a problem. If they cannot be bothered to do this then in my mind, scammer or not, they were not very interested in me in the first place, so why waste my time and effort on them. If it is easier to meet up with them in person then that is the way to go in my opinion. There are scammers on all dating sites, but fewer on here in my opinion, you just need to be careful and remember to always report to the site those you suspect to be scammers. Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search.

I understand doing that, but it could be taken as an insult. If I've talked to someone for a bit and he still thinks I'm a scammer, treats me as one by asking a specific picture, I'm not going to be particularly chuffed about it!
I find that usually someone's English is a dead give-away, and even that is tricky. But often the pictures are too good to be true, their English is almost perfect, but if you read carefully, something is always off.

I would just tell them that you would rather talk on here until you get to know them better. Usually IF they are a scammer, they will drop you pretty quick. I have noticed that sometimes there really are true people that want to talk off of the site but you really do have to be careful.
There are a lot of people on here that just want your money and they will waste your time. Usually you will get a feeling that something is not right, so just go with your feeling. I would actually make them talk to you on here before giving out any private information!!
Good Luck and Welcome to Mingle!!! flowerforyou

Thanks for your comments and I understand what you mean. In the OP's situation he has only just started to correspond with the lady, and I now make these requests right at the beginning usually the second email if they have said they are interested in me. This maybe too early I agree, but I am only wanting to correspond with someone who is genuine in that they are who they say they are, and genuine in their interest towards me, and prepared to make an effort. There is no insult intended, and I explain that I am only wanting to establish from my perspective they are a real and genuine person, and I believe most people understand where I am coming from, even when they don't want to be bothered with meeting my request, as some have already made clear to me. All too much hassle for them.

A woman wanting to meet a man somewhere alone? Something's wrong with that picture, big time!
