So I have finally tried an online dating website, and about a couple of weeks ago, started chatting with this guy (Aqua), not that thats really important i guess. Anyways, he asked me a couple of times for my mobile number, whuch i didnt give until a little later, so that we could communicate with Whatsapp. SO we agreed to meet, not a date exactly, just to have some coffee, and casual mmet up. So of course, he's disappeared, but i see hime connected everday. I only sent him 2 messages, nothing important, just "how are you" and whatever, and no response. He was quite keen about the number swap and i just dont get it, duh!! I know using the internet is always seen as kinda shady, but i have freinds who are married to people they met online so i seen for myself that it can work. The thing is, me and him weren't talking about dating, so i don think its been about feeling pressure etc, just a bit annoying, and so incredibly rude 😢

Hey hey sola! Haven't seen you around these parts in a while 😄

It's hard to say. I tried it out once and we met up but because I was skeptical about online dating at the time even when everything went well for some reason I thought perhaps she would initiate the contact afterwards but when you're sorta trying out dating again after a while you do tend to look around a lot more so more or less out of sight out of mind mentality I just never contacted her again.

But you did mention you tried to contact him afterwards so I'm not sure but keep on being your cheery self 😄 That aqua's lost his chance 😉

The time that you were playing hard to get, other women were sparking his interest.

Even though you finally gave in & gave up the digits doesn't mean that he was suddenly gonna drop what he's got going with other ladies.

Besides, some guys just like the challenge of seeing how many numbers they can get. They're not interested in catching anyone; they just like the chase

Sucks b/c guys like that ruin it for everybody, BUT to be fair, there are just as many guys who want your number b/c they wanna talk to you vs. only wanting it so that they can brag to their ego or others about getting the digits

Online dating can def. work. We've all seen the proof of that! But unfortunately, everybody who signs up for it isn't looking for a genuine, non-shallow connection even though they said they were.

Online dating becomes much easier to navigate through with success when you are able to quickly/easily weed out the wrong folks. And a man asking for a number he never intended on using is 1 of those red flags shown to you that will help you move onto the next one w/o feeling so jaded about online dating as a whole
