Has anyone on here used face time after meeting someone online?

"I have never had a woman tell me she don't have a dainty phone voice. Lol"

 

Maybe this is a man masquerading as a woman, and he can't do the "dainty" voice.......

Watch out for that Adam's apple if s/he appears on "Facetime". L.

I won't find out because I decided to move on and delete her information.

Friendship that can lead to dating

 

Women who are looking for a boyfriend are not looking for a "friend". They have a lot of friends. They are looking for someone to date.

 

So don't waste their time if you are not ready to date. Yes, you should meet someone and get to know them THROUGH DATING them - without jumping in bed with them, etc and they are not automatically your exclusive girlfriend - so friends first so to speak --- but if you are just looking for friends that MIGHT lead to dating --- then don't waste their time. Join a meetup group if you just want to make lots of female friends in hopes that down the road someday one might be your girlfriend.

Any more "close encounters" on the underground/subway OP?

This literally doesn't make sense to me though. FaceTime includes your voice?

[LaHermes]

LMAO MLD.

 

Of course it doesn't make sense. But then, at least he'd have a visual.....L.

i mean, i sorta get the aversion to facetime. though i don't really know what facetime is but anyway, the only visuals they'd have if it were me would've been a recent pic on a profile, and an invitation for coffee at some public place. anything else i'd consider unnecessary, and i would suspect someone who suggested much online contact instead of an actual coffee date a time-waster.

 

but then, i wouldn't be looking for friends or dates on craigslist either.

 

and when trying to make friends, i'd prefer to not see them as potential future partners. i don't want to look at my friends as potentially convenient in solving some single crisis one day, or set that expectation of them when they may literally just be agreeing to friendship. not saying relationships don't or shouldn't evolve from friendships, but that i wouldn't want to perceive friends as "potentially upgradeable to partners" from the get-go. it makes it feel like they're...objects or...like i only want people who can conveniently come in handy in a personal goal.

 

so i'd say look for one, or look for the other, preferably not on craigslist.

I don't have to catch the subway anymore due to a new travel card. That day I spoke off the subway was my last day

"I don't have an issue getting a woman I'm not ready to date right now. Clearing up debt"

 

Such a conundrum OP.

 

So literal lol.

 

OK. Any encounters on whatever mode of travel you are using now..?

[RainyCoast]

i dunno, i recently crawled out of debt myself. i didn't feel like dating when i had debt. just wanted to know i've myself taken care of, and that when i do couple up, i won't be someone who can't even afford a relationship (or dating), much less eventually living together, traveling together or whatever couples invest in together.

 

not saying you shouldn't, but it can feel uncomfortable.

[RainyCoast]

oh and re dating and facetime, or snapchat or whatever people use these days, it would bother me, this cyber tyranny. i don't want to have to upload an app or use some mode of communication i don't normally use, when it is unnecessary and the other just insists on that...i mean, there's my dating profile, there's my email, there's my number, and i hear in the states there's a starbucks around every corner so if you want to get to know me, don't tell me you can't. s*rew the juvenile apps and the people who text their matches for weeks then never agree to meet them. what's up with that?

 

btw i have no idea what the subway talk is about, i might have to read the backstory lol.

Hey, at least you're decisive. Soon enough I'm sure you'll be dating someone who you don't view as weird in this way. Consider other portals for meeting up and dating, though, besides Craigslist. POF, OKCupid, Tinder, Bumble are all free and less stigmatized. And effective, in my experience.
