pickflicker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 OP - are you for real? You sound like a joke. And when a guy wants to move from email to phone too quickly it can be a turnoff. Makes you look desperate. I agree. If it's worth waiting for, you can chat for a week on email before graduating to phone. It's not like you can't talk to other people too. If a guy asks me for my phone number 5 mins after emailing me, I think it's a turn off too. Makes me very hesitant to continue the conversation.

married2school Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Is that supposed to impress us? I think you lost our respect when you started whining about a woman not wanting to talk to a guy from craigslist. Word. If you messaged me and told me in some ridiculous bragging like fashion which you essentially just did to all of us that you stayed up until 5 AM and were over 26, I would look at you like you had just lost your damn mind. Congratulations. You waste your Saturday night on the internet or out at a bar until 5 AM. That sure sounds like a way to pick up some ladies right there. You sound like a wealth of maturity and responsibility. Let me break up with my old nontraditional med student going-to-bed-early-all-the-time boyfriend. Where on earth do I find men like you? Oh, that's right... Craigslist. 2
pickflicker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 why can't you call him and just block your number? I'm allowed to have my own timetable. I'm allowed to give MY phone number out when I am god damn good and ready. Although, it looks like this girl should cut you loose. You sound like an over-entitled jerk.

pickflicker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 But who emails for a week????????? Guys not looking for a 'cuddle buddy'. 1
Author WP4046 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Guys not looking for a 'cuddle buddy'. Well it's dumb for a girl to email that long knowing that she has competition He could be moving things along with another girl while this one girl is still typing LMAO One girl is kissing and the other one is emailing LMAO

I don't know why you care so much.
Author WP4046 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 You're the one having a conniption about it. I don't know why you care so much. I started this thread to make fun of her not because I was mad. I just decided to keep it moving and call someone else And it has happened to me in the past. I remember this one girl wanted to meet me on a sat afternoon at some bar and grill and I told her i was not able to and she said she was no longer interested
pickflicker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I started this thread to make fun of her not because I was mad. I just decided to keep it moving and call someone else Wow, you're a peach. I'm so glad everyone who responded is in agreement about how inapprpriate your expectations are. 1
Author WP4046 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Wow, you're a peach. I'm so glad everyone who responded is in agreement about how inapprpriate your expectations are. maybe because someone who is 26 is from the text/email generation. People 33 and over don't have a issue with chatting on the phone
pickflicker Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 maybe because someone who is 26 is from the text/email generation. People 33 and over don't have a issue with chatting on the phone Age has nothing to do with a person happily handing over their phone number to a total stranger. That's just a boundary issue. 1
Author WP4046 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 Age has nothing to do with a person happily handing over their phone number to a total stranger. That's just a boundary issue. She gave me her number, after i texted her she said she was going to bed. So we did make a upgrade in communication from email to text.
KatZee Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I expect someone who is 26 not to be in bed on a sat night before 12am You should probably start to understand that you are never to have "expectations" of anyone. Is this seriously a problem? Being in bed 11:30 PM on a Saturday? Just because you're a dude that hasn't evolved past acting like a frat boy, doesn't mean she needs to be the same. I would much rather be in bed relaxing at 11:30 on a Saturday than out in some crowded, noisy, rowdy, bar surrounded by drunken idiots. You don't even know anything about her life. What she did that day, or the night prior. Not everyone goes to get wrecked every single night on the weekend. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Blade96 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 that tonight is not a good night to call because she is about to go to sleep?????? She is going to sleep at her age on a saturday night at 11:30pm? You know after just getting this text I don't even want to get to know her anymore because she just sounds like a flat out weirdo. Damm she couldn't lie and say she was out with her friends? So instead of talking to someone on the phone she responded to on craigslist, she would rather get under the blanket and go to sleep? If that's not the stupidest thing i ever heard HOLEE jumping to conclusions Batman! I hardly went out either when I was 26, heck I hardly went out period only because I never did have a lot of friends of the kind you can hang out with. Someone does indeed sound like a weirdo in this scenario, I'll let you figure out who it is, ok?

Platonic means friends. Clearly you need a dictionary. Second, only desperate women compete for men. Only desperate women take calls from strange men at 11pm. So what if she was emailing you? Kids brag about staying up till 5 am. Grown-ups have nothing to prove. Your post irritates me so much, it cannot possibly be for real. You're a douche bag. Seriously. 3

If she really has competition and you have lots of girls/women trying to get your attention, then I don't understand why this is a problem. Honestly, if I am doing the online dating thing and have plenty of guys messaging me, I actually get a little overwhelmed and start to back off from them all, even if I quite like a couple of them. If they choose to move onto someone else, that is fine with me. Someone else will come along another day, I am in no hurry. That is just me though, I am very introverted, but I am sure other people feel the same. My guess is that you are not so introverted, maybe a little extroverted. You are better off finding another extrovert and that way you can talk for hours on the phone. As for talking on the phone, and finding it weird when people get nervous while talking on the phone... Well that is your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it. I am one of those people who get nervous talking on the phone, it feels unnatural to me. You can hear the persons voice, but can't see their face. To me, it is weird to hear someones booming voice coming from seemingly nowhere and not see their face and I would prefer to video chat over using the phone. Even so, I am a little shy and can stutter a little when talking to someone, unless I have had a couple of wines of course, then I am the chattiest and most confident person on the planet. I prefer to email, use a chat program or text, writing feels natural to me. Everyone is different. I am just telling you this so you get another perspective, find it strange all you want, but I am just trying to show you another side. I started this thread to make fun of her not because I was mad. Well that isn't very nice, is it? 1

fatalcharm Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 You wouldn't feel this way if today was jan 19, 1999 Actually, you are right. I was about 15 years old back then and all I did was talk on the phone to my friends for hours on end, not letting my dad use the phone. Things were different back in those days though and I have been through a quite a bit since then. I have become much more withdrawn from the world and have less need or desire for social interaction. I now enjoy my own company a lot more, and sometimes prefer it over the company of other people. I wasn't like that when I was 15, I loved to talk on the phone and never got nervous.
