I sent a message to this girl on a dating site and left her my number so we can talk. So she called me but I noticed her number was blocked on the caller id and was like........."ok she probably needs to get a feel for me first before giving out her number" So we talked for the first time tonight on the phone and then after about 40 mins she was about to get ready for bed. 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?

I think you are being a bit of a jerk...but if that's your comfort zone....be honest and break off contact and let her know why. She has her comfort level and if you can't handle that you areally both better off.

I don't think she is overly paranoid. She told you about her scary experiences with guys she met through the site, and I can understand that she is more cautious now. Give her a little more time. Make her more comfortable with yourself. There are many weird, wacky sickos on the Internet.
Sometimes 40 minutes of a nice talk is not enough to gain a trust. If she is nice and you are interested, just let her go her pace.
If such little things are red flags, you might be eliminating some potentially good dates.
Someone who is eager to give you phone number right away, might be not very picky, or just desperate, either way - not sure if a better dating material...

Agreed. Not like she was unreasonable to the point she didn't want to give her number or meet you for some months or weeks or something. She just wants to meet in person where you can get a better feel of someone through their expressions and body language. Trust is not something many people just easily throw around.

But, if you think she's paranoid, and her pace is too slow for you, just tell her you think it's best if you 2 don't meet up, and focus on meeting other people.

If I can text someone on the way to meet them then it's no point in meeting the person.

Someone who gives me their number does so after several messages on the site not because they are desperate.

The feedback from this site has been kind of wacky

One girl from chicago sends me her number

Another girl from PA is too scared to


When she was ending the conversation I was letting her know indirectly that we need to talk longer the next time because that's the only way you will be comfortable with me. But I can myself talking on the phone with one girl and she beeps in with her "unknown caller" and I will be like....."whatever"

lol
