Call me, I'll tell ya!!!!!!!!!!!!

@boondoggy,
That is the problem, I asked for his phone number and he refused. Now I am suspicious.

Did he state he was local??

It certainly raises doubts, but there could still be a plausible explination.. another option is to suggest skype in the meantime..

P.S. Many thanks for your kind words, though the weather here can be pretty miserable.. with the odd day of sunshine thrown in.. but seems to add to the atmosphere for the tourists.. lol..

You should be suspicious. Some numbers area code to NY are also to Bermuda where they will charge you $99 a minute. I found this out by getting a number and checking before I called...so be careful.

Hi Hurricat, "Top o' the mornin' to ya'"...LOL I know that was probably an Irish thing,,,,oh, well.

No the guy is about 900 miles north of me, I thought it would be nice to chat via phone on Sunday, (today). Not a big deal, I am not really a "phone" type person in the beginning, but when I get one of my friends on the line, look out if I had my Nespresso!

Do you have Skype? I have the google VoIP but no cam on it. Is it the same or do I have to buy something?

@ oldhippie1952,
Thanks for the tip. THAT would be awful! Geez, usually if I ask for a number, it weeds out the foreign scammers right away, because they say, "I am in London right now", and I think, well gee, don't we all have cell phones?? So I will follow your advice on that one.

Yep, that's definately Irish, but no worries as we share everything with them, or better described as stolen!! lol.. It's tea-time here as well..

Well as distince is invovled then maybe they are thinking of costs, but still, if its you wishing to make the call then it does raise questions, such as are they single?? just a thought, but seems an obvious one to consider..

I think skype is similar to your google one, and using the webcam makes a big difference as well being able to talk and webchat with each other.. I find most scammers look to use yahoo and rarely here of them wanting to use skype..

Enjoy your Sunday..

@ Hurricat, thanks for the info, and with cell phones over here and the VoIP, it does not cost anything in the US to chat. Certainly not on the Goggle.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your tea time and I wish the best to you in your search handsome man.

You have a grand Sunday as well Sunshine and here's hoping your knight in shining armour is less than a phone call away!!

Im 100% real!!

I am who I say I am there is no reason to try to deceive or lie. anyone can ask me anything cause I have nothing to hide. even my most embarrassing moments would be available I am to old to play games or mess with someone's head. so go ahead ask away

This topic reminds me of philosophy class:

"The specific problem that Parmenides raised was this: if to know something is to mentally grasp its identity, then one can't claim to know a thing whose identity was always changing. Yet, we constantly observe things that do chage and form Milesian-like opinions that things change according to regular patterns. Yet, a pattern of changing identities is not an identity, so how can change be knowable? As Parmenides put it in his poem The Way of Truth:

“Come now, I shall speak, and you must hear and receive my word. These are the only roads of inquiry that exist for the thinking mind: that ‘IT IS’, and that ‘IT CANNOT NOT BE’ is the path of Persuasion, for Truth attends it. Another road, that ‘IT IS NOT’, and that ‘IT MUST BE NON-EXISTENT’ is a road that I declare to be totally indiscernable. For you could neither know what is non-existent, for that is unattainable, nor could you describe it. For it is the same thing which is for thinking and for being.”
According to this view, the IT IS must be unchanging over time in order to be comprehensible, for any stability of comprehension implies a stability of being over time—a stability that is sorely lacking in any perception of change. All motion, all transformations, all acts of creation must by this argument be a mere illusion. The actual nature of reality, Parmenides concluded, must take the form of a single unchangeable, indvisible, featureless sphere."

Wait what were we talking about? Do we change over the course of our lives? Or are our personalities more stable? Ooh, I found a donut.

Very few people on here have my phone number..I don't just hand it out, even if we've talked for awhile.
Nor do they have my actual address..some, like the ones on the Mingle Meets have it, but I don't believe they would give either out without my permission.

Wait, I forgot who I said I was.
