| Advice & Discussions | Online Personals and Phone Number Protocol Forgive the technical title, haha.
So I recently started up on a three-month subscription to Match.com and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on giving out your phone number to someone that you've started communicating with.
For example, I winked at this one person and he wrote me a quick email back with his AIM screenname and his email adresss. | Why doesnt he want to? I've been talking to this guy online for about a year now, we talk every day and I've had a video conversation with him and all that. A week ago he said we were never going to meet, just in passing conversation. I understand not wanting to meet now, we're both 17, but why not when we're older? It seems like he has feelings for me, at the very least we're close friends. | We Physically felt each other... This is my good story with the person i love, and it shows and proves that there is even physical.. touching in cyberland. Me and my gf are truly in love, so much so that we went and had cyberlove, almost bordering Cybersex. anyway, i went and cuddled her, she did the same, we kissed and stroked, while saying we love each other. | how long to wait to respond. this couldnt have come at a better time! i've never posted in this forum but now i need to.
i have a profile on nerve.com and this one cute girl sent me a message today. the thing is, i never know how long to wait to respond. i am ALWAYS online at work and at home so normally, if it were a friend who sent me an email or whatever, i would reply immediately. |
