Re: These aren't guys...these are PRETARDS! Grinning_Madly: And the big thing now is giving out a cell phone number ONLY, not a landline.
It sucks -- lots of people have a cell phone only because it's cheaper than a landline phone.
I don't like the idea of a cell phone only: does the guy have only a cellphone and no landline --- or is he giving out his cellphone number because he's on the make and is married or attached? You can't tell anymore.
Re: These aren't guys...these are PRETARDS! Grinning_Madly: Here's another cute little incident:
I met John at a club. Same thing: talked to me at length, bought me drinks, etc.
The gent was a widow of two and a half years; he was married for eighteen and he said he was only just starting to get out into the dating world.
He asked me for my number. "Let's go out to dinner or maybe go to a movie next week," were his parting words.
He called me on Wednesday. And what did he want? He wanted a rundown of what clubs and bars were geared to people 35 and up! He wanted to know What were good places to go to on a Friday or Saturday and what was the place like; was it expensive, how long did it take to get to from where he lived, etc.
"I am only looking to make friends right now," he said.
After a half minute of this nonsense, I fugured enough was enough -- I said, "John, I'd really like to talk to you, but I can't. I thought you were my friend Pat; we're all on our way out and I thought this was Pat calling." I said goodbye and hung up.
Re: These aren't guys...these are PRETARDS! whatnext: FWIW, I only have a cell, no landline
And... John may have been tactless, but I think you just hung up on a potential friend. YMMV
Re: These aren't guys...these are PRETARDS! bjs2005: I always say, when asking for a number, "can I have your HOME number." If it is a cell, well, so be it. But to have me call at work and play some little game, that's stupid, I'm not going there.
I don't give out my number, if they ask, I will let them have my home number, but they never ask.
the whole bar/club scene is a joke anyway. I'm still waiting to meet someone outside of that scene. It's more of a game than anything anyway. I don't even know why I play.
People say, you'll meet someone when you don't expect it blah blah blah... well, I've been doing things and going places and never meet anyone like that. So unless they are going to drop in through the roof, I don't see it happening.
