A male roommate?!!! Scandal!! Good thing your technologically behind or you might have gone out with her!


I don't do instant messaging anymore just phone, text, or email because it's too much going on while I am on the internet to chat with someone through messenger. Instant Messenger is more suited to do when you are at work not at home with a million options.

IM is more suitable for work? When there is nothing better you should be doing? Not on your free time?

There are a million and one things wrong with this one thread alone.

She wants to meet you in person before deciding if you're worthy of getting her phone number so you can harass her via text or phone calls. You would think you'd be happy to meet her in person somewhere soon instead of dragging things on via phone/text. I would consider that a waste of time.

First time meeting a stranger I certainly wouldn't let him pick me up, either. I'd want to meet somewhere in public. You can set that up via whatever means you used to initially message her.

The issue I have with meeting someone without their contact number is I can't text them to find out if there are at the place or let them know I have arrived.

Really? You need all the confirmations?
Just go and be on time. That's all she wants to know.

You must be really young. What do you think people did 15 years ago when no one had cell phones? You've exchanged photos, right? You know what the other person looks like, right?

True but we are now living in a new time and I need a contact number before I meet anyone. I made a decision to not talk to her again because it's too many other girls online to be waiting around for this paranoid women to reveal her number.

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 she comes off as being smart and having learned from previous experiences. Obviously, you two didn't hit it off very well or have any deep meaningful connection if you're not able to deal with her terms. Dating can be pretty scary for women. So,...you should move on so she can find someone who respects her and likes her a bit more than you do. You sound like you're ready to move on anyhow.
