  1. Thanks, you've given me alot to think about. When I signed up with Match there were safety tips and some of them went something like don't give out your personal email addresss, phone number, etc. So is it safe to IM someone? I have Yahoo Messenger just haven't ever used it. Will that do for IM and is it "safe"? Also, if there's no such thing as online chemistry then online dating might not be for me. I've always picked men based on chemistry rather than money, occupation or anything like that. If it wasn't chemistry I felt with that guy then what was it? It felt good, whatever it was.
  2. Thanks, I don't think it is suggestive at all. I even asked customer support about all this and she looked at my picture and profile and said there was nothing suggestive at all. Really it started off just flirtatious and just sort of escalated. Maybe he doesn't do it all the time and we just had good online chemistry? Like I said I'm totally new at all this. And part of me really enjoyed it but don't want to do that with someone who can see my picture and profile, feels very vunerable. But think I might like to try it elsewhere but don't know where. As far as match goes, I've only been there a month or so and went on one date with a guy I wasn't interested in cause it was less scary than trying to meet one I was attracted to. Just getting my feet wet I guess but surely I'll get braver with time.
  3. Hi. I recently joined a dating site, link removed. I've never done chat or anything at all before this so wasn't sure what to expect. It's nothing like I thought it would be. I get responses to my picture/profile but most of the time they immediately want to IM (I don't even know how to do that), or they want my personal email address or my phone number or they give me theirs and want me to call them. This is often in the very first email contact. Is this how it usually goes? It feels odd to me. I know I'm on a dating site but shouldn't we chat a little first? How do I know I want to talk to them on the phone already? Also, I got one guy who wanted to talk and talk but it was sex talk. Started out just flirty but got kind of out of hand. The bad part is I really got off on it. Tried to slow it down but he's really good at this and it's been awhile. I warned him if we kept talking along these lines I'd be too embarrased to meet him but he persisted so I figured he just wanted it like that and wasn't interested in meeting. But I was wrong about that too. He gave me his phone number and wanted to meet but I was too embarrassed by then. Not that alot was said but enough to embarrass me. Why does this feel so weird and is this common? I'd of thought if you were looking for cyber sex there must be sites intended for that. Thanks.
