This woman sent me a message on this dating site and then suggested we chat on Whatsapp? Is that what people do now after chatting online? I was thinking she was a fake person because why not just move to the phone if there is a mutual attraction?

As much as I despise texting in certain aspects of our lives, I think chatting has taken over as the 'norm' in some instances.

I don't think it's particularly out of the ordinary these days for people to want to chat/text right away instead of calling each other.

Some people like to chat. If they use an app I don't, I'm not about to install and learn a new one just for them. Maybe after a few, good dates, but not before we've even met. There is this thing called a telephone, that works even better sometimes!

I think so especially on Snapchat and Kik. I don't have either and won't do it. I know this is really overthinking it but anytime a guy wants to talk on it with me, I assume it just wants to see me naked or wants to show me his thing. I'm not kidding either. I actually believe this lol.

It may be a thing now. Is this woman <25 years old? I don't use any of these messaging apps. Why not just IM on the dating site or text? That's what I did before moving to phone conversations.

I get the same creepy feeling from a request to get on Kik, ever since the married guy, anyway...maybe it's harder for an s/o to snoop through than phone or cell bills.

Not the person in the picture. Either a man pretending to be a woman or teenagers playing games
