What ? !!! doh

Skype immediately, got to know them. This email correspondence is ridiculous. Skype is free, better than phone calls, and sure as hell better than waisting time with email. Pfft, simple as that.

It's a useful tool for deciding if you do or do not have a relationship...If you skype too soon, it can blow a potential relationship OUT OF THE WATER....and for many reasons!

Wow, Country works fast!! Too bad I don't have Skype. The only one who worked fast on me was my first mistake (er, I mean first wife), who said after we met, "Oh, by the way, we're getting married in three and a half months." "MARRIED?????!!!!" "Yes". She meant it, too. Carson City, Nevada, August, 1983, a day that will live in infamy!!! frustrated crying rolling on the floor laughing

It is very useful. smile

Usually that depends, but I like to speak on skype as soon as possible - after a few days or a week of exchanging e-mails, maybe? I cannot judge a person by e-mails and chats only. I like to hear their voice and see them on camera. smile

The only problem with skype is that I seem not to be assertive enough to finish the call in time. Last three men I was talking to kept me on skype for 4 hours each and hardly let me go. Now I hesitate to talk to them again. laugh

It is simple you just say.... "hey! gotta go" thats all, they were probably wanting to leave as well but maybe thought you liked chatting so stayed.... try it!

They seemed very happy talking about themselves and sending various photos and pretty much didn't notice mine: 'I'm thirsty... I'm hungry...'. blues laugh I probably should have just said: 'I have an hour for a chat and then I have to leave'. smile

No need to be shy, they're just people, they can't bite through the screen....thankfully.laugh

I've never had any worries about chatting to anyone, but there has been the odd time I've been a little nervous, at first anyway. That goes away, and once you stop staring at the other person, the conversation generally flows quite smoothly.flower

Not sure why some people have a schedule they follow, as to how long before you do whatever, it seems silly to me. If you want to talk to someone, do it, whether you just met them, or you've known them for your entire life.dunno

Any time you could have spent with someone you want to spend time with, and don't, is missing out, even if it's not in person.

If I were talking to Aeterna on Skype, I wouldn't want to leave, either. But if she really needed to go do something else, that would be okay.

Oh I dunno, the last gal I chatted with on Skype disappeared shortly after, not sure why. Maybe she found me hideous, then again, maybe she fainted, bonked her head, and forgot my name. laugh

All you need is a camera....Skype software is free, just google it and download it....Skype will walk you through the rest..It takes 2 to 3 minutes tops...teddybear
