First fab 'date'

Oxfordshire/Hampshire

Since joining FAB, it's helped me to self reflect... I'm definitely much fussier than i was in my 20s as I'm dubious of 99.5% of men who message me on here. Can't seem to get rid of that feeling of mistrust.... maybe finding fwb or nsa on FAB isn't right place for me?

But saying that, i seem to be ok meeting guys on usual dating apps. Any advice ladies about finding the right fabber and meeting them in person?

You've only joined 3 weeks ago.. or have you been on fab before?

Over my 7 years on fab I have found a few regulars guys for fun. It can take a while but it does happen.

I always meet socially first.

You are not the only one I put it down to the regular stream of lies people make that just makes you even more mistrusting.

It's true, I am 99.5% dubious......the other .5% is outright lies...

It's tough to develop trust. But I think ultimately it's about using similar safety mechanisms as you would anywhere else. That s out most of them.

There and to the left a bit

The thing is OP and this is something a lot of people seem to overlook - in real life, or on other dating apps you don't feel attracted to, or even a connection and chemistry with, the vast majority of people, and probably somewhere close to that 99.5% figure you mentioned - so here is not actually that different really.

It's about finding those that you do connect with on some level, that you can build trust and respect etc with no different from other forms of meeting people - and if you are open and honest about what you are looking for then that is all you can do, sadly there are those that will feed you a line, and say what they think you want to hear, and all you can do is try and those out - but again you'll get that in the real world and on other sites too.

I been here 3 weeks for first time, after recieving around 2k messages from different men, I'm becoming jaded already. I just can't get to feeling comfortable about meeting them even for a social where i done many internet dates before.

I find approaching the site as a social place helps. People who are looking for something specific tend to be so focused on ticking boxes and moulding people into what they want that they don't notice the opportunities passing them by.

Hang out, chat, get to know people and you'll get more of a feel for them. Then if anything does develop it's a bonus.

Well they want to get to you first but can't if they don't meet your criteria

Great advice. That’s the best way to approach fab.

Make sure your filters are tighter. It will cut down on messages. You get loads when you first join.
