FabSwingers.com forum: how to spot a time waster

Hi all. My first post as i have not been on here for years. But how do you quickly spot a time waster. I send polite messages, rarely get a reply but when I do i appreciate it..even a no. I understand why people dont always respond but if they do. And we get into a conversation and we communicate for a while. When I want to progress to meet they suddenly clam up. How long does a fab courtship take before you move to next level.

If you been here before you should remember how things are.

Single guys it takes time

No one has to respond to any message

A polite no thank you goes a long way

Chat

Connect

Go from there

But never expect anything on here

There is no size fits all answer here. Personally i find im more inclined to want to push for a meet sooner if they don't ask and wait on me

How long do you communicate before you ask to meet? That could be the key.

Also, that's not a time waster, it's just someone who changed their minds.

People who send out large number of pasted messages are the worst as it just wastes multiple peoples time with non relevant messages.

Also clamming up could be just nervous or low self esteem

Be patient

Be gentle

I find a women will mention meeting before myself most the times.

But if it’s maybe one day or maybe that’s the end of conversation

It’s a tough one isn’t it. Every person is different. As another poster above suggested. Maybe let them suggest meeting instead.

Hi when i first started chatting we hit it off but she assumed i only wanted online fun. She arranged another meet but it did not work out. Eventually when we got chatting again she had a death in the family. So that was over a month ago. I will try again in January to see if she is ready for company but it will be 5 months by then so all chemistry has dissapated by then. Ive been supportive and helpful but given her space. I just dont think it will happen but now ill look like a git if i find somebody else.

I think what you consider to be a timewaster may be different to the consensus definition.

It could also be that the Playboy centrefold that you think you are chatting to you might be a hairy arsed lumberjack.

You know you're being strung along when the same family member dies twice.

. Oh my good god that’s so funny! But probably oh so true. OP sounds like the person is not really interested in meeting. Also this is a swinging site. Having multiple partners is common. Don’t worry about offending anyone by meeting someone else.

Why can't you meet someone else in the meantime? Fab isn't about jealousy, she's not been free that doesn't stop you. If she wants to meet seeing a positive veri appear on your profile might help her to give more effort. Not here to date, would be different maybe if you had met up

Timewaster = arranged and confirmed to meet but didn't turn up (without informing).

At least that's what I thought.

At different times on here I’ve been told I’m a shit swinger, a time waster and a wankshaft so I combined them and put them on my profile to help them spot a time waster before they message me

Distance is also a factor here. So is availability....

Good luck OP. I know for men I've spoken to it can take time. My advice would be to converse, have a laugh, not necessarily always chat about sex unless the conversation goes that way, don't be dull, don't say mmmmmmmmm and let them suggest a meet when they are ready rather than the other way round. At least you are having conversations so you are doing well.

Don't get too hung up on physical appearance. Confidence is the biggest aphrodisiac of all time.

Good luck. You seem like a nice guy. One good meet and you'll be away

This is excellent advice generally not just fab. As difficult as it is for a guy, let her bring up meeting first.

If you do ask to meet and she isn't forthcoming, she isn't highly unlikely to want to meet ever. Just move on...

Lure them with chainsaws. They won't be able to resist.

Assume that most people that you start chatting with will not be compatible for many reasons and thus when chats stop, it's good for you all and it wasn't timewasting. A waste would be chatting with others who wilk not meet you.

Timewaster? The blank profile, not verified, no photos, no verifications - and they have the cheek to moan they're wasting their time on here...duhh. oh yes, also the ones who back out last minute, never show up, or hide their profile yet remain active

It’s like flirting in a bar, just because you are getting on as you flirt doesn’t mean anything will develop. And for some people as soon as you push it to go further it stops. That’s the nature of the game. And the advantage is you haven’t had to buy her a drink to be spurned!

You know what. Creating this post has been a useful exercise. Its helped me gain perspective, its given me more confidence to include myself in other discussions. It would appear your not such a bad lot, unless your a troll seeking attention. Then your ruthless..but funny. Thanks for all the pointers, I hope I get a chance to chat with you all again. I'll not ask for a meet honest...well maybe after three months.

If you rarely get a reply,then you're the timewaster.

Stop wasting your time messaging people that aren't interested.

Concentrate on messaging only those who you comply with,age,sex,location,verified etc

Frankly, you can do that and still not get a reply. Sending first messages can be a soulless activity for most men. That’s why I don’t bother at all.

I can be talking to someone, they seem nice etc and I could potentially arrange something.

Then things come to the surface, like they’ve a possessive past meet, they are actually married etc etc so I won’t then meet.

I’m not a time waster - I have self worth

I know what you mean op.

A few times i've been approached by "couples". We've started chatting and out of the blue they just vanish. Either they delete their profile or they just delete all messages and stop replying. No pushing from my side at all!!

I think when you are chatting, if the messages you send are being deleted straight away that's a sign of someone who is having many meaningless conversations and/or is likely to vanish?

That's not a time waster though just someone who has decided you're not for them more likely
