D.Mc. Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Had a mutual meet me on POF. He's attractive, has a thoughtful detailed profile, & is local. We sent 3-4 messgs. back & forth on site. He wanted to meet me IRL (which has not happened to me yet). He asked for my phone# as well. I didn't even have his 1st name, though I gave mine. Today he contacts me: he is in the area getting a car wash & would I like to meet for coffee? (location of wash is quite close) & again asks for #. I respond asking him for his name b4 I give my #. He gives it, I agree to meet & give my # so he can call me to arrange time/location. Messg. time on post: 5:40 ish pm. I take a shower & change quickly (just got home from gym), check my phone, no missed call. I check the site (I know, sounds so desperate, but hey, I'm hopeful right?) new messg. from him 5:50ish pm "My niece just text me, I have to pick her up from class in (location named is 1 hour+ away from car wash), I'll call you tonight". ????? I don't think I'll be taking that call. You get my # & w/in 10 minutes you're not available anymore? I don't think it's just one of those things or coincidence. Sounds too shady for me (yes, I'm a born & bred New Yorker). I want to give people the benefit of the doubt but I just don't believe this one. The jokes on him (her, whoever is behind the profile), my phone drops every call & has limited service w/my carrier. I know about spam/virus from emails, but what kind can they do w/a cell phone? In 3 months on OLD I've gotten a crash course. I should be grateful, I hear it takes some people half a year or more to get through all the assorted hooha. I'm taking myself out to dinner tonight - alone (once again, girlfriends are not available). PS- that's how he spelled it in messg: "text" not texted. Link to post Share on other sites
