If you start talking to a person that you don't know, and they wanted you to call them right away and they asked you out for dinner, would you call them? Would you meet them? To me, that seems rather hasty....

i would give it a shot....what have you got to lose

one the first chat.. no thanks, seems pushy to me.

I wish..

I'd give it a bit - until I felt comfortable.
I rarely give out my phone number.

He he... no kiddin', bro.

I think it would depend on the content and length of the first conversation. If my IM window popped up with a phone number, I wouldn't call it. But I'd go meet a girl pretty quick as long as it seemed legit. That's not any different than picking someone up at a bar.

The reason noone ever meets anyone on here is exactly because of that counterproductive mentality.

yes,i think i`d go for a coffee,its great to make new friends,especially if they are local

Hey, I met THREE lovely ladies from CS on Thursday night........ it was a get-together in Malta...... we all had a great time!

We starving Europeans will go to extreme lengths to accept an invitation if offered to be taken out for real food!

I mean, being invited out for a meal and it's not even your birthday - wow! yes please!

Mind you, not many of us European can afford to take ladies out to restaurants - restaurants are mainly for rich foreigners that we call 'tourists'........

Outside of the virtual world I have met people in a grocery store or a coffe shop, started talking and accepted an invitation out.

I would just let someone know where I was going and who I was going with.

I have good advice on this subject....but alas, I'm not single or unattached, so I guess I can't comment....

meeting for coffee after only having "a conversation at CS?

I would have to say yes for the most obvious of reason, I'd rather talk to someone in person and decide, as to having numerous exchanges here.

Then only to meet them and its "OH NO! this cannot be the same person I exchanged thoughts withs for days at CS, or any other site.

giving up of the phone number, I'm skeptical about , too many people have little internet businesses or have friends that do.

Phone numbers can be used to trace ones address. especially us who feel no need to pay for an unlisted number.

Offer to go on to messenger to view each other if they refuse, maybe they are not who they say they are...happened to me...several times...unless he lives close enough..then go for coffee in a public place at a busy time! Tell someone where you wil go--almost like being a teenager again!

theres a constructive idea meet in a messenger, cams pictures instant responses .

nice idea

Just do what you're comfortable with .... if the other can't accept your comfort level, it probably isn't worth the time to meet them.

I'd do it - meet them. I wouldn't give them my number (fooled me once), but I'd , as stated, let someone know where I was going and meet up with the guy. It is like meeting in a bar. I loved talking with men - and women - in bars. No attachments, just chat ....... and lot of sexual innuendos depending on how drunk they were. (I haven't been to a bar in a couple of years).

So,
Cooldude do you want to meet on a football field or soccer field half way between here and Ill.?






Cha!

I just went out for breakfast with a man I was chatting with a bit. I see no reason not to give out the phone number either. I am not here to chat. i am here to meet people, ya know?

I would take it very slow. Usually guys who are that enthusiastic want one thing...sorry guys...you know most of you do.....

Unless, you Need a dinner then I would take a few times on the phone lets say 3 times to get a better idea of who the dude is. If he loses interest or starts to get pushy...bail, bail, bail.

Any man who is truly interested or at least a nice man will be nice too. End of story.

Plus the advantage for you of talking several times on the phone is that you will start to pick up if you are digging him and if you are not be good to yourself and him tell him you are sorry but are not feeling it.

It is very hard to meet someone online but I guess it can happen.

good luck,

I am so glad that I met this guy before telling him more about myself and my life and flirting with future dreams with him on the phone. When the date was over, it was over.
