frozengirl Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 This guy and I have been talking for this past week, I plan to go to this convention and he says he MIGHT also attend but he isn't sure. So I go and ask for his number because we had been just talking only through that Tinder APP. After asking for his number he tells me "I can only text when I have wifi, my phone is out of service." I had then asked him "Well how are we going to meet without your phone working?" He says "Thats a good question but I am sure we can work something out". Should I continue talking to this guy and see IF we do meet or do you think I should move on?
Tayken Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 my phone is out of service. Ah.....there is you answer right there That doesn't even make sense because if he means signal failure, all he has to do is find an area that has better signal round his house. This could also mean he does not have a phone service (disconnect), and is just using am iPod via wi-fi to access Tinder to message you. Or, it could be that you've landed yourself a Catfish. You mention convention, and if by magic, he plans to also be there. The choice is yours
Fondue Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 In this day/age, how can you not be skeptical of someone who doesn't have phone service? Hell, I am pretty sure there are government assistance programs that help you get at least SOMETHING. I dunno about this dude...

This is true but a lot of those programs are strict with meeting their rules and guidelines.
Tayken Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 This is true but a lot of those programs are strict with meeting their rules and guidelines. Are you trying to make an excuse for this person you haven't met yet and have a crush on? In the words of your own avatar Not surprised that from all that has been said so far, you are only hearing what you want to, trying to convince yourself that it's real. 1
Author frozengirl Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 I'm not making an excuse if I meet this guy fine if we don't meet fine easy as that.
GemmaUK Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 My phone signal at home has been appalling for about 9 months. There is conflict between my provider and the company who owns the land where the mast happens to be. But..you're going anyway so just have fun and see him if you see him.

Author frozengirl Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 Well that guy and I never did meet at the convention. But he says he is going to get a new cell phone soon but I think he's just stringing me along ha.
angel.eyes Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I'm sorry, but surely, there MUST be guys with a working phone on Tinder? Lack of phone service? What a mess! This guy has way more important issues to take care of than finding a date. Leave him be.
IronZ Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 You can literally buy a burner phone for like 20 dollars with enough texting/minutes on it to meet up with someone. This seems fishy.

Author frozengirl Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Well him and I were suppose to meet yesturday but I chickened out and rescheduled for today but today didn't happen either because he says he wasn't near any WiFi to hit me up even though that was BS because his Skype name was logged on, and he did instant message me twice, once at 9AM and the other at 3PM. He tells me at 7PM that he just got home and we can't meet because he has school in the morning. 1. Thats true but I say its BS because if I went on a date tonight and had school tomorrow I would still have gone out on that date. Even if I worked today or went to a concert today and had school or work tomorrow I would still do that event. So this guy kept saying "Sorry". I had then asked him "Should I give you another chance?" He says "Thats up to you". So now I don't know what to do.
PogoStick Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 You cancelled on him and now your calling him out?
Author frozengirl Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 You cancelled on him and now your calling him out? Who cares we're rescheduling again for tomorrow.
PogoStick Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Oh, well good job. 15 minutes ago you didn't know what to do.
