One2note: I think you've missed the point here
No, I don't.
I have a simple mobilephone, don't need no smartphone.
I pay 30 euro each month for the use of internet at my pc at home>
So with a smartphone I would pay twice for the same product.

I have a bundle for calling about 6 hrs each month, that's enough, sending an SMS will cost me extra, so I don't sms.

Ok, I still should buy a headset, then I can skype easily.
But on the other side, I've only a small group of friends and they don't do skype, so I would be there on my own...

Skype is FREE!!! And you can use your computer.
And...no headset is needed!!

As for being on your own...how many people do you talk to at once?

I only chat with one at the time and only turn my Skype on when I want to chat with that person.

I see it as a red flag when someone refused to Skype or FaceTime with me[/quote

Yes the new smart phones are as powerful as computers, i use skype on my phone all the time, it's so much better to see your friends as well as hearing them. I's much better for keeping in touch with family and lovers. and the beauty of it is the video calls skype to skype etc are free.
for ordinary phone calls i have a package for £15 a month which gives me unlimited text 1000 mins of speech and 6gb of data a month.

My server for Internet, wifi and television with box of tricks £25 a month, 200 free channels, my VDR is my own.

One2note: Why do people still refuse to Skype, FaceTime, or another video call, or a simple phone chat & insist on texting or emailing??
Are they just shy , or are they hiding something ?
Make sure to put her in a variety of positions when she's on cam, inspect her from all angles because I've been falsely reassured by a webcam. I thought the camera is supposed to add 10lbs and if that's true she must have eaten hers.

I guess I'd be 'oldish' school...
10 to 15 personal messages, and they'd be full and frank enough, that would be the set up for a couple of phone calls, around half hour to an hour, again, open questioning and active listening, then a meet for coffee and a danish pastry...
The only platform I use otherwise is messenger, which incidentally is the only reason I have Facebook...
Honestly, "I'm no Brad Pitt", as I've been told, so any woman if going to be attracted to my mind first, after that it's a matter for negotiation and diet planning....

Because, they have a choice to skype or not.
I have never skyped with anyone that i have dated,
and i wouldn't with any potential either.
I have nothing to hide , and nothing to prove to anyone.
I don't even skype with my offspring, i text, call, and meet and
it is the same here, i will mail, txt and chat on the phone, and
that's what i have done and never any complaints, on meeting and if it isn't
broken ,then no need to fix it.innocent .
The element of surprise is good too!!

May be it was her intelligence bursting out, unavailable for the camera to catch... laugh
