I would love to hear feedback and input on what are some red flags women (and even men) should watch out for when conversing with someone online. In particular, any tell tail signs they are just trying to get into your pants? (Since thats not what im looking for)

If all he wants to talk about is sex, he's not serious.

If he doesn't want to chat with you on the phone or webcam, he's not serious.

If he never asks how you're doing or how your day went, and only wants to talk about sex, he's not serious.

Any mention of sex or " hook up".

 

Asking or sending dirty pictures.

 

Wanting to meet at one of your houses ( bad idea safety wise too).

me specifically, when I read a profile, I look to read who they are, not what they want to do. what they like to do doesnt interest me much. but when they write im empathic or sympathetic or understandting and patient and warn and loving and a friend and loyal etc... that says a lot.

 

when they write I like to travel shop goto restaurants blah blah blah..that just says what they like to do. that just says my wallet will hurt and they just want fun. very empty for me. boring person. NEXT!

-Not wanting to send you pics

 

-Not agreeing to a meet-up (constant excuses and/or lack of enthusiasm). I like to meet for a quick coffee/drink ASAP - to make sure the person "is" who they claim they are and to see if there's actual chemistry (too good to "look good on paper/profile" - rather than in person).

 

-Dry communication.

 

-Disappearing acts.

 

-Saying they're just looking for "friends" (probably married and/or have intimacy issues and/or looking to get racy pics from strangers).

 

-Them calling/emailing/txting/communicating at weee hours of the nite (probably married and/or involved with someone else).

 

-Not putting their name in any communication with you. I mean really? Is the lack of communication skills so bad that people cannot remember to close an e-mail with their name and a salutation?

 

-Hinting that they're broke (to see if you're gonna pay their way and/or let them become your scrub). I kid you not, one guy I was texting with, we were asking how each other's weekends went and he was like "I lost my debit card", so I was like "Oh, then write checks from your checkbook then". And I just stopped responding to him from that point.

I think they act distant, they don't want to know you and don't ask questions. They make anything about sex. They don't care about your feelings, they don't respect you, they don't care what is going on in your life. They make snive remarks or ignore your attempt to be close. They do not want to be questioned and give very vague answers about anything. It is the same a real life dating except they just use words/or lack there of. They really just don't seem interested. Yes they could be busy or shy but it is highly unlikely. They just are too busy for you or too shy to make an excuse that they don't want anything serious. You will feel it. It is that gut feeling you have when you are talking to them. You will know.
