"Chatting to people online isn't our thing and I think many can say the same thing. In a different thread I've noticed many saying that they get turned off when someone immediately asks them to meet for a coffee and now I've conflicting feelings. Because I strongly agree with them but also strongly disagree. Strongly agree because: I get them random messages too when anyone out of the blue would be like "right, let's meet today" or "give me a chance and meet me for a coffee" And you genuinely don't know who that person is, what do they want and assume they're expecting you to drop everything and run to them with legs wide open while in reality they're usually just hoping that you're as bored as they are. 1.And then I also strongly disagree because we do it all the time too: Some people arrange play meets in advance then chat leading up to it. We arrange a night out or a coffee in advance and hope to chat in time leading up to it. 2.When I'm out and about and have time to spare - I do put up a status update for anyone to join me for a coffee. No catch. Only one person have showed up so far so I'm assuming men don't like to drop everything and run to meet a woman either. 3. Sometimes the very first message which is offering you a drink or a coffee is very respectful and tactful. Where a person clearly has taken time to get to know you a little from your profile and getting to know you as a person isn't a chore to them but something that they genuinely want to do. So in all that - let's meet for a coffee out of the blue doesn't have to be a complete turn off. I think it's all about how a person managed to articulate the reason behind wanting to meet for a coffee " We wouldn't normally have time to do a spontaneous meet, when we have and agreed to a coffee meet, the guys never showed up and where so shy of being seen they hid in their cars. So we just assume that most guys asking to meet now are just chancers (and this reply isn't an open invitation for every passing trucker to meet for coffee lol) | |||

"I have to agree with Dizzy and Peach on this. I like to chat on here for a bit before meeting anyone who pushes to meet quick I lose interest in. I'd prefer to get to know someone and know we will at least be able to chat and have a conversation before I meet them in person. And also I met one guy within a few days of chatting on here when I first joined fab and it was the worst and scariest meet I ever had so that alone has proved to me that I need to chat and get to know someone more before I meet them in person. Now usually red flags show if you chat for a while. Plus my home life is busy so even on days I'm not working just doing spontaneous meets is almost impossible. " Is it possible that nerves, insecurity or other stuff make a person act terribly and show theit worst side. I always wonder why people behave in certain ways and try to justify and maybe show a bit of empathy? | |||

Well not this guy I'm not going to go into all details but we kissed goodbye after we met for coffee he got really rough with me I had to quite literally fight him off when I did get him to stop and asked him wtf he thought he was doing his answer was you're on fab I presumed you'd be up for it. There is no excuse for that behaviour. It's the only time any guy I met off here has actually scared me and I came very close to leaving over it. | |||

"We both do like to message and get to know someone a small bit but we do like to arrange a coffee sooner rather than later and see if there's a spark there. Unfortunately, it's not always the same once you meet in person. We think it's better to find that out early on rather than talk for ages then realise weeks down the line there was no spark in person and feel you've wasted someone's time" I think coffee is coffee whatever the site , Just because we think outside the box , Does not mean we don’t respect everyone and I can never meet at the drop of a hat and I have ten trilbies , But I often put it out there as it’s my free time to people watch, And am not so great at the written word but on the other hand I’ve kissed the Blarney Stone twice lol | |||
