Persistent or friendly?

Out of curiosity, if there's someone who messages you often, with general chit chat, whom you're not interested in meeting, do you assume they're being persistent in the hopes of getting into your pants eventually and tell them outright you're not interested? Or are you happy to keep chatting, they're just being friendly?

I let them message but keep the communication brief. I’ve found that eventually it dries up.

Sounds like they're hopeful in a 'maybe a chance someday' opportunity. If you don't mind chit chatting then I think it's fine. You don't have to ever meet them. But there's also the chance they could get negative with you in the future for all this chit chat and no reward and cause you undue stress. But that's why we've a block button, till then chat away lol

I think if it’s on your mind you should tell them your conversation isn’t going to lead to a meet, better to be honest with people.

If you’re enjoying the chit chat, keep doing it, but be clear that that’s all it will ever be.

And finally, be flattered, they clearly want to talk to you

Generally speaking I keep my replies brief. And I'll almost always make a point of saying the conversation isn't going to go anywhere sexual whether it be in conversation or meeting.

I'm happy to chat but worry I'm somehow leading them on.

I'm not talking about anyone in particular btw, there are several guys I chat to regularly.

If it’s someone from the forums then I’m usually happy to chat. But nine times out of ten they usually assume that because I’m chatting, I’m willing to turn the chat sexual, or I’ll add them on kik and send videos etc. Even though I can point blank tell them ‘I’m not interested in you sexually’.

If it’s someone from outside the forums then nah I don’t chat. Again, they usually assume I’ll eventually be interested.

I call it how I see it. But overwhelmingly they seem to think they'll wear me down and fuck me eventually

If/when they get sexual, I'll generally end the conversation.

I just worry that by engaging in a normal conversation they're misreading the situation.

From the forums, yes i'll chat away to people I wouldn't be attracted to, we're unlikely to meet anyway in most cases and I talk that much rubbish that it rarely turn sexual anyway.

Outside of the forums, with people closer to home, I'm always very clear about my intentions one way or another

It's good to talk

Not everything on fab has to be about meet ups and sex

As long as you both know where you're coming from and no one's leading anyone on

I quite like talking to people (shocker I know) and don't mind if people keep messaging me. The only time I don't like it is if they persist with overt sexual chat. Having typed that I'm now worried I am persistent with a few. Darn it OP for making me worry.

I worry myself. I often write a message and delete it without sending for fear I'm barking up the wrong tree or being annoying

The ones that annoy me usually can't keep up a normal conversation for days or sometimes hours without trying for "their due" again.

Blokes get fewer messages anyway so it’s easier to deal with than women who get dozens offering a fuck.

Don’t hold back if you want to bark up my tree

'Sexy talk' leaves me flat when it is merely words on a page

In person, it seems to have more meaning and it is nice to see someone react to it positively (or you get the message when you see them recoil in terror )

I tend towards polite and chatty in PM's, primarily because I find sex talk all a little bit cringey and pestering is well, pestering

Fab is just a medium in the process of getting to know someone

If they want the sex talk from the get go, chances are, we aren't a natural fit

I struggle with the grey area and when I haven't chatted to someone for a day or two (or more) then drop back in, I worry. I worry they presume I'm bored of chatting elsewhere, so I've come back to them. When all I'm trying to do is (poorly) juggle conversation.

I get that, I really do.

Don’t worry- that’s the nature of Fab - I don’t chat to my friends every day. They’d be bored stiff of me if I did.

I can usually tell if they think the chatting is going to lead somewhere and then I remind them that it really isn't, so if they think I'm leading them on then that's their problem and not mine.

If I do that I'm a bitch who's wasted their time leading them on. I tend to be much more direct, early, now. If I'm going to be a bitch, might as well get it over with.

I'm a chatter but try to make it clear that I wouldn't be interested in anything further. I probably should be a bit more of a Mean Girl but I can't do it.
