See the confusing thing for me is why the hesitation for a girl to give me her number of she is attracted to me and we are having good email cmm

I come from the world of telephone dating and once someone liked your voice then we got off the line and started talking on the phone

So that's why I don't understand if someone likes my pic and what i said in my profile why we can move to the next step which is the telephone.


I have no interest in IM or texting when I first meet someone. The phone is what helps us connect

Because she doesn't feel comfortable with you yet. Sometimes women (and men, I'm sure) need some time to give out their number...it's a huge pain in the butt to change your phone number if you get some wacko who won't leave you alone, and there are soooo many men who think sending pictures of their junk is a good idea.

You seem pushy and even if I wanted to move things offline I would change my mind super quickly if a guy was pushy about it.

You say you have no interest in IM or texting and want to talk on the phone...I have no interest in talking on the phone and prefer either meeting in person or texting/IM. See, people have different preferences.

And meeting someone and setting up a date with text cmm only is a good way to get stood up.

Not going to do it

Why would someone be more likely to stand you up if you arranged the date via email or text, rather than via a phone call?

I met someone like that one time and the person never showed. Now I'm not saying you can't be stood up if you talk on the phone but I think it's more likely if u only chat through email and text

I have set up MANY dates through text and have never been stood up. I think this is just an excuse. It seems like it's your way or the highway which isn't attractive at all.

Because it's not normail to not want to atleast chat 5 mins before you agree to see someone face to face.

Why not talk 5 mins about when and where to meet?

I'd think that setting something up over the phone makes it more likely that someone would forget or misremember details, whereas if it's in a text or an email, the date/time/location is there in black and white.

Well that means they are not serious about meeting if they forget after a phone conversation
