OLD and meeting up

Okay, I have no idea what the hell I’m doing.

I joined a new dating site today thinking I’m ready to start giving it a go. Chats have been going well - I’ve been open that it’s casual for me and I might be interested in sex. Cool, everyone on the same page. We continue to talk, flirt, all going well.

Then I say the dreaded ‘so, would you like to meet’ and it’s radio silence.

WTH is that about? It’s happened with two guys tonight and I won’t understand it. Is this normal?

There is nothing normal in the world of OLD. Time wasting seems to go with the territory.

Which websites??
I have been online dating on and off for years and whilst messaging or a profile sex has never been metioned. That said I have never been contacted by anyone I am remotely atracted to. Welcome to the world of OLD, where no one is as they first appear.

I think a lot of ppl are just on these sites for the chat. To stroke their egos you know. And have no intention of bothering to meet anyone. Its frustrating I know :/

Sorry to hear. You were wank fodder, I'm afraid. From what I hear this is to be expected with OLD...

I’m on Bumble as I didn’t like the tinder experience. So far I’m getting better quality men and the chats are good. Nothing overly sexual but I’m being quite clear I’m open to go out for a drink and if there’s chemistry then more.

But it’s the ‘shall we arrange something’ that seems to scare them off. Insane!

Just feels like a waste of time. I’ve even had to justify that when I say ‘casual’ I actually mean that 🙄

It happened to me the other night.

Got chatting, meet up for drink, possibly dinner, possible hook up if chemistry etc etc.

As soon as making definite plans for drinks.............................zilch, nada,........

Men who are cheating.....?

If you are after something casual then fabswingers might work for you. I gave up all the old sites and just chat to people on fab when I need company.

Fromablokespoint · 24/02/2020 12:00

Verified people on Fab if you just want something casual.

There’s a dating thread on here if you want to join us 😊. Many of us have spoken to men for months who avoided meeting. People are just strange 🤷🏼‍♀️
