First Meet Advice!!

Hi all

would really appreciate some advice on first meets.

We are hoping to meet with a couple this weekend and after reading the site and some of the posts in the forums, I politly asked if myself and the other female could talk before the meet.

"We dont do pre meet phone calls" was the reply.

Am I right to be weary or just accept they may want some privacy.

What would you do?

Any help appreciated.

P&T

Why on earth would they not want to chat on the phone before an arranged meet, unless ofcourse they are both mute's!

I never give out my number to anyone on here, not because im not genuine, but just because i dont like talking on the phone and i dont want people off here having my number, calling and texting all the time

I have had some decide not to meet me because of this but thats their choice same as its mine not to give them my number

All you can do is decide for yourself how you feel, if talking on the phone is important to you and they refuse to simple say thanks but no thanks then but remember it does not necessarily mean they have something to hide they may simply just want to keep their privacy

In this day and age when a number can be witheld there is no reason why a phone call cannot be arranged.

Even if we have cammed with a couple will still insist on chatting on the phone before a meet. This hopefully helps breaks the nerves just a little bit and gives you a slight indication if you will get on.

Be very cautious is our advice xx

well I guess some couples have there reasons for not allowing a pre meet chat on the phone.

Personally, you need to have your own set of guidelines .. and if speaking on the phone is essential to you and the other couple refuse, then don't meet.

If you're not sure . don't go through with it

one on one meetings in hotels for a first timer can be just full on

why not try a club and go with the flow - that way if you don't like you can just move on

i fear that anyone who doesn't want to have a phone chat is "suspect "

Hey, I do get this. I hate phone calls with people I don't know, I get very nervous on the phone and it's the ONLY ever time I get really nervous before after or during a meet. I start to stammer, and I'm not a stammerer! If I can get away without a pre meet phone call I will. But if the other couple wants one then I put on my best stammer and crack on! xx

I don't chat on the phone before a meet.

But I always arrange my meets in a local cafe or quiet pub. Somewhere where the option of going somewhere private is easy but also where I can be comfortable if stood up (rare but can happen) or where I can say a polite no thanks if need be.

It's not a date, more of an assessment. Both parties have neutral territory to decide if we want to take things further, and as a single female I have the security of other people if he gets aggressive, pissed off or even cries - all of which have happened to me!

Agreed. We don't always give out our number. We have arranged plenty of meets without doing so, but on occasions, some have refused to meet because of that. We accept that and move on. However, on some occasions, a refusal to give a lady's number might mean it's not a real couple. You will never cut out the risk. Sadly, frauds and time wasters are part and parcel of this great website.

This is the very reason that we set up a Skype account for use on here. So easy to delete someone if it hasn't worked out, free, and not like your mobile or home number, It's not on all the time

I never cam or phone new meets. I arrange everything on here - it leaves a trail in case, god forbid, there was a.problem!

NN and I may take slightly different precautions as single females, but couples can be stalked too - do you really want calls and texts at all hours, someone outside your home?

There have been many stories on here reminding us all it can happen. I.have received violent threats for saying no!

So choose your precautions just as others choose theirs. And if someone is not prepared to play by your rules then simply move on.

Another option is to buy a cheap, bog standard pay as you go phone (about £10) and use it exclusively for meets.

i stopped giving out my number when a guy i used to meet posted my number on escort sites after i told him i didnt want to meet anymore

I had to change my number to stop the calls so why would i start handing my new number out to risk giving it to someone else like that

If people want to meet you they will meet you without a phone chat, if talking on the phone is that important they can find someone else to talk it and meet

i couldnt do that as i have teenage kids and they would want to know why i had two phones, they are at an age where you cant fob them off anymore with random bull shit and they would find it suspicious if had two mobile and i dont want them putting 2 and 2 together

And every time I switch it on wade through increasingly abusive and offensive messages?

I'm very serious here, some people don't take rejection well! And as soon as you take things off the site there is no comeback.

I have had guys who are not prepared to meet without a call and I walk away. Then when I Di make friends and choose to give out my number the message alert brings a little smile to my face instead of dread.

Some form of verification prior to going off round the country is advisable. Either cam or phone, it shouldn't be a problem given that you can block either.

Lots of good advice, and different opinions.

We use a number of criteria to decide if someone is genuine.

We look at their verifications, how many, actual meetings rather than just cam or phone, any verifs from people we know, any verifs from attending local socials?

If they are newbies with no verifs, then we look at how long they have been on the site, although there are no hard and fast rules, we don't bother to arrange anything with those that have been on a while with no verifs.

Also, if they have no verfis but are recent newbies we would ask to cam or phone, a no to both and its "hasta la vista baby!"... cam doesnt have to show faces, just that there is a female half to the couple, if they are worried about giving out their number then we offer ours, they can withold theirs when they ring.

Only you can decide whats right for you, trust your gut instinct.

I don't give out any of my personal details to anyone unless I have met them first.

That includes email addresses, MSN details and phone numbers. I won't have a smart phone or a blackberry so none of this 'pin' malarky either.

The one exception is my address, but as I live in an awkward place, no one could arrive at my front door unless they were either let in or they want to climb over a wall and get thru 2 metal gates and a upvc door first.

Yes, it does lose me meets, but it is what I am comfy with.

Once I have met and got a feel for the person, I 'let them in' and have no issue providing them with info.

There are people on here that have my work emails & numbers, let alone my private ones, but that takes some time to get to.

As Fabio said, go with gut instinct and what you are comfy with and you won't go far wrong.

there is no excuse not to have a little chat on the phone first, if they don't want to give you their number you give them yours and they block their number,,, its not hard...

or, you speak over skype or msn chat.

If someone said they didn't want to chat over the phone first i would assume that one of them doesn't exist. But thats just me.

My advice would be to always go with your gut instinct....

If youd feel more comfortable talking on the phone first and they dont want to, then leave it.

we always give out mr's number, and make it known that if they ring randomly, they will only get me on the other end, so they have to ring at the correct/pre arranged time/days.

refuse point blank to give out Em's number anymore as a couple (or at least the male half of the couple) kept texting to ask if they/he could pop round hers to see her without me.

a few couples have my number and they text every now and then, but never really had a bad one.

generally just asking how we are. had a fair few over xmas/new year too, so it can be nice to giv eout your number also

but, on subject, WE would be wary, yes, but then, we would have organised something i na pub first rather than hotel, as thats a little presumptous for us.

As others have already said you have to use your instinct,we have met people without spekaing on the phone before now and then with others we have spoken,it has always depended on instinct

There are a very few select guys that have my mobile number as I usually give Robs out for contact or phone chats,and no-one as yet has abused that

If you're going to feel happier and more confident after speaking on the phone then stick with that,for everyone that does'nt want to speak on the phone there are plenty more that will to make you feel at ease

Hope it all goes well whatever happens
