Ok, I get it, we're all concerned about safety. There are ways to deal w this. I'm sick of meeting attractive interesting people who just wanna say hi every day! I see a pattern, and I've been online a long time several platforms. If u don't talk actually on the phone soon, and prepare to meet in person soon after, and do it, it dies. I've had great talks day in and out only to end up ghosted r to get so bored myself I call it off because of not taking things to the next level. I mean, if u txt and it's good, call, if u call and that's good, meet! U can do it in public. U can do it during the day. No need to feel apprehensive. But my impression is that if u don't progress from txting, it will dissapate. I want someone as fearless as I am, someone not afraid to take that next step. I'm so bored. I keep about 6 people I chat w. Sometimes, I just tell them I've been sick for a few days when I haven't responded because I just couldn't do the mindless banter. Shit! I'm so frustrated! Where are the people really looking to encounter other people? So over it. Am I alone here?
