Hi Peggy. Well, I know at least 3 guys in my life who I have spent time with, but they can't talk on the phone with me. They will only text. That is so impersonal to me. I am ready to cut them off completely.

I'm not on board with all the texting. Why can't a person call on the phone?



Yeah. I always wonder about that, too.

I am old school and I have no intention of passing my phone number out like some party favor.

Some guys collect numbers and call down through a list when they are bored, drunk, or desperate.

Or wants to show off for someone else; and this can be dangerous possibly make and angry girlfriend jealous.

Or more likely call and try to sell you something from cable TV to real estate but more often mediocre chore service on your property or car when they are broke.

Some are even desperate enough to try and find a place to live when their current girlfriend kicks them out or moves out on them and they are desperate for a roommate.

The consistent thing is if a guy is not man enough to ask you for a public meeting why waste your time on some lazy bum who wants to dial a date?

How would you feel about letting them know that you like hearing a person's voice and if they mind having a chat on the phone that week or the next week? And then if 2 weeks pass and they dont, you can give up? Is asking a guy to do that too pushy you think?

I am still trying to figure out online dating but maybe there is a a more complicated process to getting acquainted? I am thinking it starts with the emailing or texting stage, then the skype/face time or calling phase and then the meeting in person phase? How does that sound? I don't know much about it.

Online dating is actually pretty simple. Exchange a few emails to get to feel out the match. If good, a phone call or two. Then arrange a coffee meet and greet in some public place. Why do people have to complicate things? All I am saying...

Sounds simple enough :smile: I guess it gets complicated because of the fishing dynamic that both genders are often engaging in . Both parties are probably always competing against other contenders in the online acquaintance scheme. Emotional orgies are quite messy I imagine :laughing:

Who turns them off rather than on vibrate?? I think this highly unlikely and naive...

I sometimes forget to turn on my cell phone. :smile:
So, maybe... just maybe... he also forgot to turn on his cell phone?
or maybe... just maybe... he lost his cell phone and just found it and the first thing he did was to text you back?

At last, a voice of reason.

Forget messy orgies, emotional or otherwise!!
Lets first get, to the party.
This is the comparison. Men's brain is like a waffle...compartments for everything. Women's like spaghetti, yup! complicated . And off course, they are known for window shopping, and this spills over into online dating...lol...my point being, for a guy this online dating is not so complicated after all...all i am saying...

Can't remember when women were called chicks, back in the 70's?

A lot of online dating is long distance. You can't just meet for a coffee. So it is kind of complicated.

Any person who is not yet committed to anyone has the right to explore online. If there was a delay in his reply, there must be a reason for that and if there is, why don't you try to find out. Give him a chance to prove himself worthy of your attention and know what's exactly his intentions are, if it's just friendship or in the long run when you establish good rapport it may lead to a more serious relationship, how will you know if you won't try to see. Let him show you what he's got and only then you will know his true intentions. Don't expect too much from one text or call. If he is truly interested with you, he will make a way to contact you and consistently communicate with you in the long run. Just entertain, get to know him, observe, establish friendship and see where it leads. Just be careful of those men whose game is collecting women and who likes to play around, those are uncontrollable and they are lurking somewhere in the dark. Be careful when you mingle. Stay positive, have an open mind and open heart:wink: :heart: think :thumbsup: waving

I'm talking about people in general don't like talking on the phone. I'm not dating anyone. I hope the next man I am dating can talk on the phone with me at anytime, just like he would want me to call at anytime.
