Odd activity from a couple, thoughts?

We're still relatively new to this site, and just come through an interesting interaction with an account claiming to be a couple.

They insisted on two phone numbers for a group WhatsApp chat, done by text (we only gave one), then just seemed to want photos and sex talk, and when talking about a meet (we had plenty of red warning flags going off by now) were insistent on the them booking a certain hotel.. "They" also gave individual photos of the two people supposedly in the couple, but couldn't give one of the two of them together.

So, while we're pretty certain this was a single guy pretending to be a couple, any thoughts on wanting both our numbers and being so adamant on the hotel choice?

You're a couple, so you can both easily chat together using one number. We're guessing that it was possibly a single male attempting so get hold of the females number.

Report and block.

Viewed one way it sounds suspicious, viewed another way it could well be just cautious people. Two numbers for a Whatsapp from your side ensures from their point of view they know both of you are involved in discussing and planning a meet. They may well only want to play in a hotel they’ve used before and feel comfortable in. They may want to engage in sexy chats because they want to gauge if you are the sort of people they like.

The ‘no together pics’ is very odd though! You have to use your instincts when arranging meets on Fab. If it feels off to you, don’t do it. At the very least, it seems you might benefit from having a social meet with them first.

Gut instinct for us both was that something was very wrong, which is why we asked for the photo together.. Anyway, lesson learned...

You misunderstand. If you are using WhatsApp with a ‘couple’ on one phone, how would the people you are chatting to know you weren’ just one person? It’s harder (but naturally not impossible) to fake a three way WhatsApp conversation than a two way one.

I and my partner always used our own phone numbers or accounts when moving to WhatsApp or Kik, it shows we were both involved in the interest and its not one person leading the show, we actually also tended to avoid any couples using a single account as it just didn't feel like they were both engaged in the conversation.

I don't think any of this sounds particularly weird.

My partner and I always *both* chat, we use selerate phones. We prefer that other couples do the same and assume that if they'll only give one number then they are either a bloke controlling the meets or just a bloke without a female partner.

We also don't have any pictures of us together, we live apart and I never think to take pictures during sex or when we are enjoying ourselves.

There are no privacy settings to stop FB mining your data which is why it is intrusive.

Thats why you don't rely on that alone and insist on a picture that's timestamped written on a piece of paper or verify them on cam, if they couldn't be bothered they're not worth our time.

It sounds like a single guy but to be honest, I don't even know why your talking about this.

If there is any doubt whatsoever in any of your minds, just forget about him or them and move on.

Fab is about your enjoyment and not being dictated to if its not what you enjoy lol

If a single girl is looking for a single guy then its just two people who have to connect. If its a couple looking for one person then its 3 people who all have to get on but during chat/messages its a bit strained then as I would think, just move on, and block if you get hassle.

I don't think anyone who has joined fab for sexy fun wants hassle or drama. Only timewasters, pic collectors, egits etc... are the people who look for this.

I'm sure OP you both will meet the perfect couple and wont even give the other one a thought.

good luck and have a great xmas

This situation certainly sounds slightly suspicious, and could be a guy pretending as stated before.

I don’t understand why a couple would insist on having both phone numbers from another couple. I could see it being reasonable after a few meets if you’ve become friends, but before any meet it sounds dodgy to me. If you want to talk to both partners then do it on a joint call over speakerphone or video chat.

Ultimately OP, you weren’t comfortable and can’t be blamed for blocking.

Good luck in future!

Pic swapping and sex talk is something I don’t allow. They get one pic non sexual and that’s its before a social in person and it avoids anyone just wanting wank material. If it’s a guy pretending to be a couple with no plans to meet he’ll give up quickly. If you have doubts and he isn’t verified or just had one, ask for a phone call with both or stop contact

Don’t give out phone numbers always use KIK, its just as good and as all the functions of whatsapp but is so much easier to vanish if you’re not happy for any reason
