newmoon Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Joined an online dating site about two months ago and the weirdest thing... guys will email back and forth a lot, and then as soon as I give a phone number, they never call. I've given a number to about 9 people, and 3 have used it. What's the deal with the other 6? Is it just like IRL when guys ask for a number and then never call? It's soooo puzzling!
deathandtaxes Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 That's not how I operate. If I'm getting a phone number of give mine out, it's with the goal of setting up a first meeting/date. I've had enough text exchanges with women, trying to set up that date, and they just fade. So it's not just guys, it's everybody. Seems that manners are becoming a precious metal these days.

LOL, what's wrong with the 3 guys that have actually called you? Are they not your type? You do realize that guys are contacting and dating other women, on dating sites, so if they are not calling you, its likely that they have other women who are higher priorities on their wishlist that they are dating and seeing. Or they just don't want to meet you in real life.
Ami1uwant Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 i agree with others.... more info is needed. when are you giving them the number? They may be reading you giving out your phone number without them asking first as being too desperate.
Author newmoon Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I only give it in exchange, the number, not unprompted and not for quite a while actually. but... solved my own problem today with more thought. I don't get texts at all, and i'm gonna assume that at least some tried to text :-)
