Just a rehash of the same awful dilemmas he's been posting about on CD since 2008. Some things never change over the years despite the aging process.

So then I said........"Ummm can I have your contact #"

Then she went through this whole thing about how she had scary experiences with guys she met through the site and would rather meet me face to face before giving her me her number. So now I am going to sleep on this and will most likely wake up and decide I no longer have interest. I thought the purpose of talking to someone the first time on the phone was to determine if you WANT to give the guy your number.


And I don't think she understands that she is not the only woman on the site and once someone who gives me her number who looks just as good as her or better I am moving on lol Something won't allow me to meet a woman face to face if I don't have their contact number so we probably won't meet.

Any other guys come across any paranoid women like this online?
Why everything has to be on YOUR terms...

The girl seems interested: Face to Face is a good possibility also. If she wasn't interested at all...she will not brought up a solution.

The woman explained to you, she had a scary experience, respect that. Some women like to know the person face to face FIRST and then give you the number.

Don't be so "uptight" (my way or the highway) because you will end up, with either a boring woman who will do everything your way or worst...all alone.

A relationship is about giving freedom, you cannot really love everyone with a emotional (not to say real "oh my") gun pointing to your head.

If the woman is asking your for something not really attempting your freedom, self respect or whatever, I don't the see the point on not respecting her wishes.

There is your answer to why she doesn't want to give you her number.

After I sleeping on it I realize she is not that good looking for me to be waiting around for her to reveal her number like she is Ms. PA. So I have moved on and not looking back so I can focus on women less paranoid that;s looking for friendship.

Because friends are supposed to have each other's contact number so she is not friend material.

So basically, "You don't want to sleep with me? Well, you're ugly anyway!" Got it!

Although I find your threads highly amusing, I do wonder how you manage to get through life!

Friends have each other's contact numbers AFTER they become friends. You are a complete stranger to her. You could be a stalker or a lunatic. In fact, there is a pretty good chance for one of those...

Dude, if you mean this then she can probably sense that you are just into her on the superficial level and is being rightfully cautious. You are looking for something more casual and/or shallow based. She doesn't want to waste her time.

I don't even post picts on my profile anymore because of this. Too much "hook up culture" seeking and too much attention based on my picture captions only and nothing regarding anything substantial in the actual profile. (I describe my physicality very accurately and guys can take it or leave it. Most act like they dont believe me and leave it and/or can't be bothered. I find this very helpful in weeding.)

My fave used to be getting comments about "MY dog" when I say multiple times in the profile that it was a "friend's pet" and that I only have a cat.

Trust me, she knows damn well how she stacks up against the other women on the site. She also knows how you stack up against the men. Hence, no number.

.

How do you expect to compete with other woman if you have no picture?

Personally I don't blame folks for being paranoid/cautious when it comes to meeting new people.

Too may people like to lie and are crazy these days. I don't like giving out my number to random guys I just met either. Especially not over the internet. That's really not wise.
