"Lol.....just as well I am not relying on FAB for my self esteem! God! "Maybe they needed a few drinks , Paula hates guys that want to talk for ages, on chat or by text. Best thing to do is to make a time for a quick cup of coffee, with a 30 minute time limit during the day . If they can't be arsed to meet they just want to come round empty their balls and go or chat as a friend | |||

Am I unusual? "No you are not, I like to meet socially first, if there is an attraction and the opportunity to play, a bonus and then I don't feel obligated or pushed into playing with someone nor they see me as something to use to empty their ball sacks cos their horny  | |||

Am I unusual? "No you are definitely not unusual!! As a single fem you have to think of your safety first. If a single guy doesn't understand the importance if a social meet; checking mutual attraction, safety etc then they should be on hookersrus. Don't compromise or lower your standards. There are decent single men on here but, unfortunately, they are outweighed by the dick heads. And finally you are stunning so it was his loss. | |||

"I think that by asking to meet at a time that you will almost certainly say no, some single men can blame you for their lack of success and can continue kidding themselves that they are genuine and not just fantasists getting off on the thrill of the chase. Mr and Mrs doom and gloom as always"Why doom and gloom They have a point and it does happen. I had the same man who 'apparently' lived in my village offer to come round to my house twice at 11.30pm even though I ask for a social first. He then proceeded to throw it back in my face as Id refused a meet, twice!
I took great pleasures in googling his newly uploaded pics to find they were stolen from a website and reporting him as a fake! Genuine men who want to meet will arrange properly and will comply to a social meet!! | |||

"I think that by asking to meet at a time that you will almost certainly say no, some single men can blame you for their lack of success and can continue kidding themselves that they are genuine and not just fantasists getting off on the thrill of the chase." Me jason loves the social side of this, the meeting I like the chatting and talking, and even more importantly I would rather meet someone who wants. A social first I like to date ( probably the wrong describing word ) . Having the presumption that a woman would want to just turn up and have sex from a chat room meeting is not my cup of tea. So basically the type of girls I find for myself are usually singles who want a relationship and usually go mental when they find I am in a relationship. I don't say I am in a relationship as it just puts them off straight away, I like bowling, playing pool , coffee shops, new forest pubs , gay bars , pilgrim house, ( will mean something if you live in southampton) live music, I would rather seduce a girl Like dating (probably the wrong word again) than get a guaranteed fuck from a sex site. Paula on the other hand want to make sure she fancies them, they have a big cock and that they are confident enough to be able to get her , without being creepy weirdoes , I have no idea how her brain works . But one thing I did find out in my life , when you go out on a date or meet "the woman knows if she is going to be lucky , the guy hopes he is going to be lucky ". | |||

I don't see why any woman would be offended by being asked to meet - just saying 'You sound great, would you like to meet?' isn't pushy at all, and if she is not ready she can just say so. | |||

"I often feel that if I ask too soon I am labelled pushy. So I just go with the flow." My point ...and shared by many on this thread, is that often we are experiencing guys who leave it until a late hour of night to ask if we will go and meet them....then and there! Annoying when they had all day of chatting to us, to ask earlier. | |||

I guess some of you will tell me I should make the first move but its just not my style...... hey maybe some guys just didn't want to come accross as a pushy guy and get blocked for asking too quick #JustSaying "Too quick? ??? 10.30pm???? What were you doing all day????? Don't answer that! | |||

"I think some of you guys are confusing 'being too pushy' with leaving it until late at night to ask! Your chances of her saying yes...are decidedly less likely! !!!!! Surely if you want to meet, you are free and you know she is free too..AND you have established that fact hours or even days before hand. ..why leave it till 10.30pm to ask if she will meet that same night????? Surely not that difficult! Its got nothing to do with being pushy..thats just common curtsey! " well why did you wait hours to be asked?? you should of just asked him then i know you said "it's not your style" but hey what's the worst that can happen? it works both was there is no golden rule on here that says the man must always ask to meet up | |||

It happens regardless! But no....I never ask a guy to meet me. It isnt my style! I dont care if that doesnt suit the modern way! That's me! The point is...they had no problem asking.....it was the TIME they choose to ask!!! | |||

"I have a rule that I dont play on first meet. Social meet only at first. I know lots of people do this too. So even today a guy messages me ...all keen to meet tonight. He was let down by someone who cancelled. So I told him about my 'first meet rule' He said fine and actually had that on his profile that he didnt object to a social meet only for first meets. But then proceeded to try and 'persuade' me to agree to drive to a pub close to his (nearly an hours drive from me!. Clearly he had no intention of making any effort! ) and then go back to his afterwards! I remind him again of my rule and what he states on his profile but he says he wants sex because he hasn't had any for 2 months and if I only want a social meet, I can try eharmony! Then he blocks me!
We must lose so many potential meets because we ask for a social first
Well maybe..and thats the risk I take.
But I just find 1:1 meets where there is an 'expectation or very high hope, presumption etc....that we will have sex...too pressured and unsexy. Just a personal thing.
Theres also the issue of where....as because I am single and live alone ..I am anxious about inviting a stranger to my home or going to a strangers house.
These things might seem odd to some people but I prefer to see if there is mutual attraction first and enjoy the build up.....
Am I unusual? "No, you're not. It wouldn't cross my mind to meet a stranger "now" in my home or there's. It's never been open to negotiations, it's made absolutely clear. If they can't understand: block! | |||

"Like you posted a social should be for social purposes only and to get a feel for the person you have been talking to and also to see if there may be a sexual spark that you can enjoy at a later point. Imagine turning up and trying to play from the off when you can not even communicate properly with the person you are with. That would be plain awkward and not enjoyable for all who are concerned. Everyone should stick with what makes them happy as this is supposed to be fun after all.." Agreed! And a social meet should be at a social time! I am clear on my profile that I only do social meets first so if they are leaving it to message me at such a late hour...they didnt read my profile for a start or there must be a lot of cafes open at 11pm where they live! | |||

"lol there must be and if there is not I might have found the little gap in the market I have been looking for and I could open up a chain of cafe to serve the men of fabs who leave it to late to message ladies
I could call it the 11 hour cafe | |||

I wonder if anyone has had a bad experience where they felt in danger because they agreed to a first meet in theirs or his home. I haven't read any stories but I imagine they wouldn't make good reading and more appropriate for the police! Personally I an not so desperate for sex that I would jeopardise my personal safety. Guys who respect that have a FAR better likelihood of getting what they want in the end...instead of pushing the issue as so many do! | |||

And also this is just me but I think a hotel meet for the 1st few times before you go to someones home is a great idea as neutral ground where you can relax and get to know them better. | |||

"Its been an interesting few days...if not few weeks. Maybe I am just too old fashioned or maybe a bit shy in real life...or a bit of both?

From experience I've found asking a lady for a meet early on sends them running for the hills. I've been told they prefer to be engaged, chatted to, having their interest stirred, a process of events that can take days to weeks (in some cases, even months) as these ladies don't like to rush in, nor do they want to feel the guy is in a hurry to "shag and go". So, I can see how some guys can chat away and (from my thinking) eventually summon the courage to ask, just to see if the chatter was leading anywhere or if the lady was just chatting to them to be polite, while getting her rocks off with other guys | |||

An hours drive to be greeted by a broken toothed man looking nothing like his pics, his three (sounded like a hundred) vicious dogs trying to eat their way through the kitchen door, presumably to bite my throat and consume me in seconds, and furniture covered in dog slime...but at least it was a reasonable time of day lol...never again will I not have a social meet first!! | |||

"I get it now lol sorry about my earlier post...that was off topic then. And yeah, that is strange. I used to get people asking me to meet them at 1am. And the funny thing would be, these were people messaging me from outside of London. Why on earth would i travel all the way to them at 1am? Especially outside of London. "I've had one at 5am from a couple, wanted me to travel to theirs for some fun, would have taken me 2 hrs to get there | |||

Completely twisted around! I am talking about men I have been chatting to for a while...not just 5 mimutes ago. I am NOT talking about askinh early on in a conversation when you have hardly exchanged two words! By 'Early' I mean if you have been chatting for some time to someone ..why leave it till late at night or early hours of the morning to expect them to meet you???? Not sure why some are finding my point so difficult to understand.??? Read some of the examples of others and maybe you will understand what my thread is about. | |||
