I got 3 phone numbers from women on a dating site but..

[PWB15]

when they called the phone conversation seemed to end very quickly. I mean what the f*ck am I supposed to talk about in the first 10 mins? I thought during that time you just break the ice and talk about weather and anything revelvant like the holidays

I mean if a girl says can I call you back after 10 mins of a first convo then I must have turned her off right?

[KyrieTheFuture]

...you're having phone conversations with people you've never met in real life? That is probably the most awkward way to communicate.

[Draz]

Talk about your girth

try to set up a date so you could meet :confusedshrug:

[CavaliersFTW]

It's about to be 2016, who under the age of 30 still talks on the phone? :lol

Well don't have to have some small talk before asking someone out?

I need to confirm I am talking to a woman after getting someone's number online

[Hawker]

It's actually sad. Makes it easier for men/women to break it off easier with the tap of a phone instead of facing the harder option of actually talking to someone.

If it's a girl off a dating site, you should only be calling to initially set up the first meet (short convo). Never for "small talk." That is handled via the dating website or through texting.

Chirp shorty chirp back
What you know about that

It's about to be 2016 keep it brief and try to secure a date in a public area (so everyone feels safe) or get their social media info like ask if they have facebook or instagram or something if you don't like to be that fast. Or just text them.

Only older generations have extended conversations on the phone this isn't the 1950's

I'm not giving anyone my FB account and we haven't met yet

are you retarded?

[PWB15]

This one stupid b*tch stated she was a Cowboys fan when we chatted online and once I called her and brought up the topic of us both liking the cowboys it was like I was speaking a different language

Did she lie about liking Football? I was going to use that to break the ice

What's wrong with giving them your facebook account?

You can creep on them (see more pics, find out more about their life, etc) and it lets them do the same for you.

Sharing social media platforms such as insta or facebook can make for an easier segway into conversation when you actually do meet (and can help you decide IF you even do think you should meet them). If you think it's a bad idea to share social media in general just meet in person I guess. Either way, I think most young people are going to think "why's he talking so much on the phone and not getting to any sort of point? (like meeting up)" if you just try and chit chat on the phone.

It's a dating site. They are literally there to get asked out.

Edit: Reading your responses, you really don't have the right attitude for this

*EDIT*

Nah that's harsh I'm kidding OP. Being real with you though, social media is much more familiar and comfortable to most people. If you've got social media, I really do suggest using it to establish whether or not they are "legit" women or not.

Talking on the phone >>>> texting

I'm really good at making conversation with strangers

It's a talent not everyone has

Chances are relatively decent that if you have that skill you don't need online dating, not that there is anything wrong with online dating.

[stalkerforlife]

They don't want to talk on the phone for long; they want you to set up a date and then go from there.

[jongib369]

Phones suck dick (Been dating my girlfriend for like 3 years and we've spoke on the phone once). First time talking it can be awkward, and a pause on the phone is extra awkward to me for somereason. Though, it can be good just to make sure they're actually a girl, if you don't want to share your facebook or w.e. Make it silly "Mind if we chat on the phone for a minute, just making sure you're not a 40 year old man in his underwear haha". Keep it brief, say you've got to go out with a few of your guy friends or something, and then text her 5 minutes later saying "I'm relieved you're not a catfish" blah blah blah.

Cavs is right, you can get a better feel for who they are, and what they might like hearing you talk about through social media. Just make your friends private, and if she's weird just delete her ass. It's that simple. But either way, on the phone, texting etc don't talk about the freaking weather, unless its a jokingly to make her silence feel better. Unless some crazy shit is going on its better to avoid small talk. Get her to open up about herself, without any fronts. I was always a goof, and somewhat awkward but believe me...I've had success to a stupid degree. Ask her what she goes to school for, where she works, things she's passionate about etc. Getting to know someone genuinely goes a long way. Just get her to talk and make a not of what she says

School
Work
passions
Etc etc

When it's your turn, after having a genuine back n forth showing your interest about those things...Go over that list in your life. After maybe a day or two tops, say something like "Hey so far it's been great talking to you, but I've realized that there's only so much yoh can learn about someone online(or talking on the phone etc), if you'd like we should grab coffee sometime"

Boom, got yourself a date my man

*also if you aren't that good at talking, texting, or messaging on facebook can give you time to think of what to say. And if you meet in person, and stumble on your words after things went well online she may think it's cute as ****. Some women are cold blooded, but most let that shit pass. Just be confident in yourself for the most part, not to a **** extent and you should be good

If you doubt me, here's my resume lmao. I was talking about my girlfriend on the Creatine topic. I don't ever seriously brag, I just like goofing around...But it is the truth, to put what I say into context.


Woman is goofy, yet chill as ****. Loves video games(and is good at them), smart as a whip, and has an ass like you wouldn't believe.

I've been with a lot of women, first 4 years after highschool I averaged 13.33 women per year, shooting 97% on the first date on 40 attempts. Curry aint got shit on me, even Wilt would be like

....I've had girls that could suck a nail out a goddamn coffin, yet this woman is irreplaceable. Life is good fam

:cheers:

Idk if you just want to get laid, genuine dates leading to a relationship or what...But I've had some success at both. Good luck dude

You know what's up

:pimp:

[TommyGriffin]

Ask her what are her interests are, what she is doing in life, what she likes to do for fun. Then you tell her the same about you. It is called a conversation.

[imdaman99]

The problem with this day and age is they have had the same conversations with hundreds of dudes already. It's about whether or not you can make them laugh or stand out from the rest, that would keep them interested.

[Derka]

Met my girl through a dating site and we didn't speak on the phone, old-school style. We'd messaged through the site for a day or two, then I got her number and it was pretty much all texts until I met her about a week later for the first time. Even now eleven months later, we rarely talk on the phone unless one of us is driving.

I can count on one hand the number of times we've had an extended conversation talking on the phone. I didn't know people still did that, lol.

Edit: the line about "They've heard this a hundred times before" is absolutely true. She told me about the other guy she had been on a couple of dates with right when I messaged her for the first time. She was the first person I actually reached out to on that site, but I wrote to others with varying degrees of success until after date #2 when I realized she was the one I wanted to give my attention to. Luckily for me, she felt the same. I never actually went out with any of the others I communicated with.

[iamgine]

Bro you're supposed to just text.

If you really need to call to confirm they're female, just ask them about their period cycle. Men don't know these stuff.

[Meticode]

IMO, it's better to go on a date. That's why you invest in typing out a semi-information profile, but not too much. You each read each other's profiles, message each other, after 3-4 exchanges, ask her out on a date, somewhere, not food, more like coffee, or lunch, something that will last around 30-60 minutes. If she doesn't want to do that, move on.

Don't sit there and have full on conversations with someone about life and what-not when it's over the internet or phone.

[senelcoolidge]

You probably don't know but many of these women that use online dating services are just whores. They don't want small talk. Set the date and go from there.

Talk about H2H stats from Wilt against Kareem and other HoF centers.
