Is it likely that I’m being set up, when an (arranged meet arranged for later in the week) is online and when I try to chat, I only get one word answers? Or am I being too needy?

I wouldn't say you're being needy, I'd be thinking that it seems like more of a lack of interest from the other party maybe?

"Yes"

Depends on if it was their messaging style right from the start?

I wouldn't meet anyone I couldn't converse with. If they haven't got the time or inclination to interact effectively with me, there is no point in meeting.

Ask to chat somewhere else - KIK, WhatsApp etc.

One word answers would certainly give me the impression she's no longer interested.

We eould say prepare yourself for that. Why not ask them if they are still interested as you feel the lack of conversation is concerning to you.

I would agree with this! If she is different now that you arranged to how she was before than maybe.

I know personally speaking that it's hard to keep my interest but if I say I will meet then I will meet. But I don't like small talk

It depends on what you’re messaging to her.

Not necessarily however one word answers a way of skirting round giving a properly explained answer.

If someone doesn't put effort into answering your messages they won't put any effort into meeting you.

Monosyllabic messages would just make me loose interest, regardless of how ‘hot’ she was. It’s also an possible indication that she’s messaging multiple guys, and hasn’t the time or the inclination to engage with you properly. However, it may just be that this is her style. Instant messaging can certainly head towards a lack of erudition, especially if you’re busy with other stuff. I’d probably ask for a more consistently considered response and see how she reacts.

Don’t want to scare them off by being too pushy for chat. I’m not being clingy but think a wee chat will make the session flow easier, if it happens.

I have a meet arranged for Saturday. He’s not getting much convo from me at the moment because once i’ve arranged stuff i like to play it cool. No bigging things up - that’s how dissapointment occurs.

Just see how it goes. Don’t get too invested. If you hear nothing the day before/the day of the meet and they don’t reply to a reach out, leave it and move on.

Yeah one word answers or worse just an emoji are pretty good sings someone’s not interested. Like how are you supposed to reply to a . That’s how to shut shit down.

I’ve never done it. I’ve sent huge paragraphs to people I’m not interested in just to explain why I’m not interested and make sure they have no false hope or shit like that.

I’m of the mind set that conversation is two way

There’s too much “ put some effort in guys “ crap going on and it’s all one way

Mutual..... that’s the way forward for me

Don't think a one word answer means your going to be stood up may mean they are not interested in the conversation or your not engaging enough for them to give you full answers maybe ask them?

You can’t really message someone who doesn’t seem arsed anyway, and ask them why they aren’t putting effort into their messages. Well you can but it will make them think oh fucking hell here we go. I’m really understanding more than your average person but even I don’t like to be questioned and asked shit or nagged.

That's fair enough I can understand that just thought it might be an idea

I’ve taken this approach recently after some early new year disappointment

But it doesn’t necessarily reflect that it’s you or a lack of interest. I have mental health issues and i’m an introvert. I find endless chit chat exhausting and it wears you down. If i plan something and its a done deal, don’t keep harping on about it.

There’s a fine line between “keeping in touch” to becoming a pestering pain in the arse.

We are all different.

I'll try not to nag you then.

Guys don't understand as well that ladies on here receiving hundreds of messages from men sometimes demanding our attention, chatting is sometimes more demanding than a pleasure unfortunately.

I don’t think you’re being needy. Actions speak louder than words and whilst I don’t need paragraphs if I feel that it is a one sided conversation then I wouldn’t continue to contact them.

Can't really win though, there was a forum post the other day about women who 'whinge whinge whinge' when they get just fancy a fuck messages, as it's not pof or e-harmony. Loads of men agreed about that. But when women don't engage much because of the level of interaction we are used to such as fancy a fuck messages is all we get it's hard to keep a conversation like that going

Sir i believe in real chat, so im just going to say it and i mean this with no disrespect to you but MOST, almost ALL profiles i read say 'ive seen a cock' 'no cock pictures, will be deleted' and so on, come on you know thats true!

The women i have been in contact have shown me just how many guys message them saying the same talk showing them pictures of their dick like thats going to set them apart.... if this person is given you one word answers it might be because they have heard it and seen it all before... your profile picture is your dick you have to assume your not the only man shes talking too and maybe there getting her attention, i know this might sound deep and shit seeing as this is a swingers site but try asking her open questions, questions where one worded answers cant be given , if she does not engage in conversation them you have to come to the conclusion that their really not that into you and move on, plus and this is just my opinion here, i dont think having a cock as your profile picture really helps, be interesting if others think im chatting shit or not but thats my take on it Anyway happy fabbin, peace out
