Posted: 7/5/2008 11:20:31 AM | | After reading it, Pirate did not mention a name, only an experience. You entered the picture with a response. Nobody would have known anything about anything except that she had an experience with unknown person. Now, the person is known and the subject who is truthful could have been avoided if you would have ignored it. Now, looking at it, one would tend to believe Pirate because of not mentioning a name. That's just my opinion. | |

Well Laughing.... I guess since I didnt volunteer my phone number you blocked me from writing back to you. lol See what I mean??? I'm glad I didnt give it to you, makes one less pof psycho to talk to. Hope your aunt feels better soon.
Cajun....Pirate DID mention the name as you can see from the above quote. It was all nondiscript until she mentioned that she had tried to respond to laughing and THEN the arguing began!! LOL Its just crazy that adults can stray so far from the subject and get into arguing over petty stuff for all to see. Who really cares if he blocked her. That was his choice to do so and its also her choice to just move on and forget it instead of the "she said, he said" stuff.
Sometimes POF seems to be an extension of high school. There are way to many things going on in this country today that we should be concerned with instead of wasting time analyzing why someone didnt call or write back. Who cares...just move on and keep searching. Not everyone is a match so don't get mad or upset, just keep looking, act like an adult and respect everyone's right to an opinion. I learned long ago to pick your battles wisely and also to not sweat the small stuff. So....How about a group hug and lets get back on track with the subject!!! | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 12:41:33 PM | No, you have to go back to the first page and re-read all that was said. She did not mention his name. He mentioned her name first and also acknowledged that he blocked her and if you read through it, there was communication between them besides the forums. Even after that, she told of somebody but not a name till he came out with it. As Monk would say, "I could be wrong, but, I don't think so" LOL
But, you are correct about childish behavior here. It seems that adults don't want to contribute constructive things, but, play games. In this case, it makes one wonder just what the private conversations were about and the ins and outs of things. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 1:26:04 PM | Bocadeb..yes you do have very good reading skills and have actually followed things.I do not like the drama, nor do I have anything personal against the other person,she seems like a nice person,but I do have the right to defend myself in a public forum when someone makes false statements about me.
Cajun is also correct in that there often is more to the story than meets the eye but I dont know if I am quite ready to hug him  I will go on the record for apologizing if in defending myself I offended anyone, yet I do reserve the right to do so.
This all began as a joke between Paula and I and I think she's a nice person and hope we can both just move on in a positive, mature fashion.
Thanks. | |

Posted: 7/5/2008 7:58:22 PM | oh for goodness sakes. You wrote to me first several times and I answered. You kept telling me how you only talk to one girl at a time and you were pushing me, you wanted my number. I didnt give it, it was too soon , I said that in the forum....... You wrote to me originally and then wrote about going to Tampa and a whole long explanation about what you were going to do, going to a pof party etc and who all you lived with, your aunts etc etc etc That was when I wrote back to say have a good time, hope your aunt is well and found I was blocked from replying. So that was wierd but I wasnt interested anyway. Why write to me and not want a reply? I was only answering your emails . If there was anything more to this as you implied, I dont know about it. Now get over it.
Again, another good reason to not give out your phone number right away and I am glad I did not. Enough sheesh! Get off my case! I also have a right to defend myself against someone speaking bad of me when I didnt do anything but try to answer someones email. I didnt lie about anything here and I detest drama. Can this be over with now??? I know I was done with it days ago but everyone seems to want to jump in and join this nonsense and continue it. Enjoy the forum. It was just the perfect example of why I dont give out my number right away and especially to someone I have no interest in. Enough! Good luck fishing! | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 8:44:40 AM | I think the best one I ran into was I was out at a local bar where a live band had come in to preform. I was just hanging out minding my own not even really out to see what was out there. I had come cause I had heard good things about the band.
Well I had my sketch pad with my and was having a good run in that regards when a young lady walked up to me and said "excuse me my friend is a little shy but wanted to give you something" so she walks me over to her friend who is blushing and can hardly face me she's so embarrassed so she grabs a napkin scratches down a name and number and hands it to me and apologizes for being so shy. I introduce myself and tell her she's more then welcome to join me if she'd like but I'd let her regain her composure. I wandered back to my seat pulled open the note and it was a simple phone number my name is ______ I'd really like to get to know more about. Well night goes on and one of the bar's maid's I know walks up to me with a face I knew was no good and she explained to me that I was getting pranked and wasn't the only victim that evening...
Basically she was handing out another chick's number. To me that was pretty high on the dirty crap scale. I just chucked the note and went on enjoying my evening, but I can see where a lot of people who got excited about it, that would come as a real blow. But someday Karma will come back to haunt them. | |

Posted: 7/6/2008 7:15:14 PM | Only going to answer the headline question.
Why give your number? Because I'd like you to call.
My follow up question is: Why ask for my number, make a big deal out of if I gave you a fake one and then end up not calling OR e-mailing me when I gave you both?
OP....Not all women play those games and some men seem to ask without having any intent to call at all. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 3:57:28 PM | Well give your number when you want to........no hard or fast rules on it. If you are a guy and ask for her number then you better call. If you are a girl and give it to the guy then you better answer the phone.
BUT in there lies the potential problem.....you make the first phone contact. GOOD? So you go out on a meet and greet. One of you finds the other not quite to your liking. OK...so be brave and tell the other that it is not working. It is no ones fault that you don't have a spark. IT JUST IS! And then the one (be it male or female) that finds the other not attractive the other may, not always, but it has happened to me, they call and call and call. NON FLIPPING stop! How do you deal with that? Not so easy.
So to give it out or not to not give it out........I say give it out and see where it goes. I would sooner have a bunch of calls from some freak stalker than wonder 'gee was he the one?'
Just my 2 cents........ | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 8:43:57 AM | It happens to all of us. After insisting on getting my number and upon determining I was interested in pursuing further communucation with a 36-year old man, I asked him for his. I called him the next day. He didn't call back. Later that night he IM'd me and I asked if he had received my voice mail message. He said he hadn't checked so he would check then. I never heard back from him. There are probably lots of reasons why people may or may not call you back and... it sure goes both ways.    | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 2:26:02 PM | I used to get tons of girls numbers and very rarely called any of them. I just got them to call in case I had a party or something and wanted to invite a bunch of hot strangers. Kinda like a party cold-call list, but I thought it would be kinda the opposite of a telemarketer. You know you always dread those calls, but I thought it would be nice to invite people. You know, call them up and say hey, wanna come to a crazy party tonight, there will undoubtedly be naked people crazyness, and Chris has had too many already, so somebody will probably go to jail. He asked me to call all the hot women I know, and the first thing I thought of was that hot girl that gave me her number last/the other night. Want to come have a few drinks and meet some really fun laid back people? (Insert popular persons name they probably know here) is already here.
Enough babbling for now. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 2:55:12 PM | | So, a girl has to be "hot" before you invite them to a party??? By the look of your favorites list, you don't have many friends. There must be a reason. | |

Posted: 7/10/2008 5:59:50 PM | Yeah, I don't have a bunch of friends on a friends list on a website targeted at middle aged professionals, oh no, my buddy list is small must be a problem. lol
lol, no, they certainly don't have to be hot, but it helps if you tell them they are doesn't it? | |
