What would make you go cold?

July 01 2010

sex

I've had a bad run of time wasters lately and I'm just trying to rethink my approach. I'm not looking for sex or even come across like this at all when I strike up a conversation with someone. I'm honest and relaxed and find that I've been getting a run of time wasters or cold feet.Is it like this for everyone? What would give you cold feet?a typical lead up to a meet up consists of some mild flirting and chat, exchanging of contact details and some form of meet set in a neutral situation. I'm even pretty laid back about them bringing a friend along for safety (I can imagine its pretty daunting given todays world). I message closer to the day and everything is fine I send a couple of messages between when we agree to meet and the day of. I usually find out about an hour before or less that it's not going to happen and things just fall into a heap from there.I don't take anything personally from it, I figure its an issue with the person I'm talking to. I'm just looking for some sort of tips or warning signs that I can adapt to or make concessions for so that I can progress it past what amounts to little more then a phone bill and disappointment.<3 thank youRob

    I think sometimes nerves get the better of people and they simply chicken out. Definitley don't take it personally. But I am sure you will meet someone soon as all the boys say its a numbers game. Good luck! Meeka

    Have come across many times wasters....i think to many people the idea of flirting and talkiing is the attraction...when they realise that they are actually going to meet people they freak out... Things will never change Silky

    honest people are very special, i hv recently been confused from people as well even met for coffee seemed to hit it off, agreed to meet up, then when made contact they were busy a simple thanks, but no thanks is so much better come on people lets really be honest, not just claim to be?

    Don't ya just hate it when ppl turn out to be all talk and full of profile bravado? I've had my quota of ' divorce blues'....'maladjusted morons'..'committment phobes' and just plain old dickheads. When someone discovers the motherload of decent well adjusted men who are not caught up in a whole world of hurt over their ex's....PLEASE post directions here..Cos thats a post I wanna see!!

    Ah if only i knew the answer - you're not alone in being stood up, I had a very non pressure lunch meet last week that the guy pushed and pushed for - when i said yes he didn't turn up - sent a message asking if i was there then did a runner. It's easy to wonder - but truth is there are a myriad of reasons why people don't bother - and only some of the time is it nerves. Most if not all people get nervous - it comes down to respect and basic courtesy, it's not hard to say a quick and safe hello and interact with the other person. Doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong - as mostly it comes down to other people's insecurities or game playing. Just keep an open mind and positivity around you and this alone will attract people that want to be around you and spend time with you. Best of luck :)

    I must be just plain lucky in that I have never been stood up by anyone from this site. That doesn't mean I have slept with 100% of the ladies I have met on here.....Although I certainly can't complain!!Keep persisting and I am sure things will work out for you. May I suggest you enter the chat room and strike up some conversations. That may help....Good luck.

    I have never done a no show. Recently had a date from here. It was her birthday. She went to drop the kids off and had a fight with her ex. She wanted to pull out. Well I was nice enough to convince her to go ahead with it. No girl on my watch would be home alone on her birthday. We had a lovely time sime no pressure. Listened to her troubles. Told her some of mine. Gave her a hug then went our separate ways. No contact since. ???? Well I guess she was like me too polite to say it's just not there for me. What was strange she was much better looking in real life than her profile pic. Well I guess I am not her type. That's all. Well I didn't worry. Ijust went out clubbing on my own after. Lol. Me too busy.. Fab.

    with the bad... i have had a couple of no shows...i guess nerves got the better of them...who knows... shame they didn't know that i was a nervous wreck...heart thumping...etc i must really learn to lighten up...lol... but maybe this would put it in some perspective... if you had 50 dates in your life and 5 were no shows...

    I have had my fair share of "No Shows" on here... I sat in a restaurant for an hour waiting for a guy that I spoke with for ages on here... He was a no show not even a text until the following day saying he kind of met up with another chick but she wasn't what he expected and wanted to know if we could try dinner again lmao One other time I was asked to the movies, I waited out the front... I texted him 10mins later asking if he was coming, he texted back saying he was there and couldn't find me... I was 1min/ 3min late, as I was coming from out of town and there was a bit of traffic on the road lol I gave up after a while and decided to have chat only and if someone came along and it felt right I'd go for it.. You have to take the good and the bad, filter through all the bullshit until you find the decent ones... Hang in there, the right ones will come along and you will have a blast!!! naughtisxcgirl

    Hi GCRob, I have never stood anyone up nor have I backed out on the day of the meet. I have however changed my mind about meeting them ... not so much cold feet but more because they are over eager and message me too much before the meet or I get bored with how they chat to me before meeting and realise we would have nothing to talk about. But I am wondering, do you see these girls on cam before meeting? I remember that I met a guy once and he was not the same person that was in his pics at all. Ever since then, no cam....no meet!! I can't answer for you why you have been stood up or why the girls have cancelled out as I am not in their shoes and don't know how you chat to them or what messages you send. But I do question how long you have been on here as it seems you want everything now!! Patience is the key. Good luck xFunlovingx
