ORIGINAL: SMgirl66 talking and wanting to know whats inside a person, instead of being more what a person looks like, or wanting to rush and meet after 3 messages and then run off when i say i need more time that would work I think this might be a matter of perspective and each particular situation. I know you used the phrase: " ... after 3 messages ...". I'm hoping that was an exaggeration. Certainly, only three would be a bit quick. I'm going to expand upon that, a little bit. When a lady contacts me and seems "gung-ho", I will suggest a phone/Skype conversation fairly quickly (an hour or two of chatting. I DESPISE carrying on a conversation through text. There's too many chances for misunderstanding). I've now, invested two hours (or so) of my time, doing something I hate to do because I understand that the other person has their own time table. If the lady balks at the idea of actually speaking, but still seems "gung-ho" in other ways, it's a "yellow flag" for me. So, when I start chatting with her, again (on a different day, we happen to both be online) and I spend another hour or two with her, still seeming to be interested and we can't move on, a little bit, I will, probably figure that we just aren't going to mesh. I don't "run off", but I certainly don't invest a whole lot more time. Also, I don't slam the door. I've met a couple of young ladies from this very website that have messaged me, months later saying: "Okay. I think I'm ready to meet you, now" (Of course, on one occasion, I found out there was a relationship with someone else, in the interim). Again, I think it's about perspective. I've actually chatted with a couple of ladies that have profiles that read something along the lines of: "I don't want to waste a whole lot of time, typing. You need to be willing to talk on the phone/meet for coffee within ______________(X amount of time)" Different people have different time tables. if our time tables don't mesh, neither is running off; they've just re-evaluated.
