Without the possibility of meeting currently do you find that starting conversations on here with people that you haven’t met run out of stream?

What has kept you returning to fab during lockdown?

For me it's been the forums lately, individual conversations are few and far between these days but with the forum it's an open conversation that everyone gets involved in

In a sense it's an easier way to communicate but that could just be me

Lockdown Fab is all I've ever known so I've actually enjoyed speaking to people while it lasts.

Not sure what I'm going to do if they actually want to meet

Chats with people who just can't actually chat (sex talk with strangers does nothing for me) is never going to go anywhere with me, just means we'd have nothing to talk about if we met! Stimulating conversation with a good dose of good humour and a dash of banter ... and we're more likely meet to meet in the future! I don't require daily chats but regular catch ups for sure.

Tbh I had that when we could meet

lots more instant gratification conversations which fade very quickly once they don't get what they want

Same. I just don't see the point. And I don't like using Fab to chat anyway... I prefer WhatsApp but I probably give my number out once a year

Well the people I chat with know I don’t do sex talk, there’s only so many times you can tell someone wha thou want to do with them.

I have natural conversations as if we are in a bar. I tend to talk about all sorts I’ve enjoyed getting to know people. Some I talk to like the daily chat and some we just keep in check every now and again. Personally I haven’t found running out of steam the case. I’m a chatter box

We've made some really close connections with fab members over lockdown, some of which have helped and supported us through tough times.

We haven't made many new connections, but there's definitely excitement and anticipation for when we can which is fun in itself!

It's also enabled us to find what we do and don't want from Fab and how to filter and portray that.

I've found lockdown fab, to be no different to pre-lockdown fab, some conversations naturally tale off, some are daily and others a catch up every few days.

I think it's naturally difficult to keep up a conversation for months about what could only be a one time meet. I keep checking in on the people I'm really into and other than that I do let it slip a bit.

Lockdown has made me more aware of what I am actually looking for, what I don't want and most importantly, when we're being let out in phases I absolutely won't be interested in anyone that couldn't chat through lockdown! Cornwall is going to be a shagfest of desperate, sex starved people (holiday sex for you isn't my holiday!

) I'm not a port!

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

I've been on fab a grand total of 30 minutes in 3+ weeks.

All seems rather pointless and irrelevant. Forums hold virtually no interest as they currently. Found a couple of threads I actually botheted to comment on just now.

Time to call it a night.

Pictures and forum though some days are a struggle to find somewhere to join with for a bit of good time. Whether it's musing together or simple banter. The general energy seems low and I hope we can all pick up soon.

Literally this! And it feels weird talking about pre covid life as it was over a year ago! New material for conversation needed

The most interesting thing that has happened to me this week is I won £2 on a scratch card, then lost that scratch card. It’s been a rollercoaster.

Definitely. Many conversations died.

With new contacts, certainly , but also with older contacts with whom the flow of contacts slowed down greatly or disappeared altogether.

I questioned myself a lot at some point. Less now.

But the Covid era certainly brought a change in the conversations.

We’ve only just returned!

We took the time off to be with each other, it just happened to correspond with the lockdowns.

Conversation is as we’d expect in the current situation; people are unsure what to expect from the future so can’t commit to the emotional investment in contacts that they can’t ensure to maintain.

If people prefer to have short chats before meeting, then they’re not going to be able/want to engage over longer periods of time, so the conversations will die out.

It’s a simple understanding of dynamics; change your approach or cut the contacts.

I don't come now to meet and I'm not clear when we can meet, so I keep that off my radar completely. I keep things light with people who I may chat with. I recommend that you focus on other great things here and elsewhere, other than potential recruitment of likely prospective partmers, until the safety in the UK is more suited to people having different priorities to now, if you're feeling your esteem impacted.
