I'm always a little wary about giving my number out and prefer to have spoken to the man for at least a few days before I give him mine.
Maybe you could say you're feeling a little uncomfortable with it at the moment but would like to keep messaging via the website/email/MSN (whatever you use)
Most respectable men will be okay with this. You'll know if he's the stalkery type if he gets in a mood about it or keeps pestering you for it!0 -
I don't want to hi-jack this thread but I am so nervous about tomorrow. I'm not normally this bad but I feel sick!!!! :rotfl:
I think I'm scaring myself with the horror stories you hear.... even though he does seem a genuine bloke. We've spoken on the phone a few times and I can gauge his attitude and personality (kind of) and he does seem quite nice. I think I'll take that leap of faith and meet him.
We're meeting outside a shopping centre so plenty of people will be around & I have a friend who's willing to rescue me if I need to be!
Does anyone else get this nervous?0 -
The guy I was supposed to meet yesterday (and now today) has just called me. We were meeting at 9.30am and he called about 9.05am saying he just woke up and was feeling very lazy and might stay in bed for a bit.... I asked if he had forgotten we were meeting and he said "no" but didn't realised we had a specific time and place planned... WHAT THE?! lol. If it wasn't so funny I'd be crying. Yesterday we planned both a time and place and I've been up since 6am today as I needed to walk the dogs early and sort things out before I met him. I actually feel a little upset about the whole situation and now I'm wondering if he's just taking the p*ss or what. His excuse for waking up late was that he was on the XBOX till 4am. Great, just great.
I don't expect to be treated like a princess on a first date but a bit of common courtesy and some punctual manners would be good.
He did say he'd be ready by 11am at the latest but it's really annoying me now. I am going to meet him because I'm dressed up now and ready to go.
Hope everyone else has a nicer day!!
Edit - He is 50 miles away too which made me think he'd be up early too.. as it takes him like an hour to get here.0 -
Lara, listen to your intuition. This guy's not really bothered whether he meets you or not. And even if you do hit it off, you'll be signing up for a relationship where you go to bed on your own and he stays up half the night playing on his xbox with his internet buddies, and then stays in bed half the day while you run round doing what ever needs to be done during daylight hours!
You deserve better than that!
Hugs

He'd better be good after all that trouble Lara!! Report back please.
I have an old mobile with a pay as you go sim, so give out that number when they ask to text, got limitless texts for a tenner and can just turn it off when I don't want to be bothered!Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.0 -

That is a really good idea. Can I ask which network provider you are with? I have an old mobile and would be happy to put some credit on it just for dating purposes, but don't want to get into having to pay £x a month... I don't do that much dating.... :cool:I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -
Hi everyone thanks for your advice. I'm in town now and he's pretty much gone awol. I needed to go into town so it wasn't a wasted journey but I'm feeling rather disappointed. I've told myself I will wait another half hour and if he doesn't get in contact then I'm off to do the things I need to do here.0

Just called him. He said he's just got out of the shower. He wasn't in a rush, I told him not to worry about me waiting for the past two hoursbecause I wouldn't be here if he ever showed up. Off to do some shopping. thanks everyone0
