However, I find three to four weeks is the sweet spot for switching from online to offline. You learn far more in person than you do by simple online communication. Sometimes reality doesn't match up with the picture you have in your head and I would rather know sooner than mess about for months on end and potentially have wasted my time and energy. Each to their own. Whilst, I'd agree IRL tell you a lot more about the person, I don't consider vetting someone thoroughly can be done in 3-4 weeks before meeting IRL to be a red flag. What would be a red flag, for me, is for someone to say that my way of ensuring personal safety, my security is a red flag. But then, that tells me all I need to know about that individual

Well done that superfreak messenger! (I've had that one too 🤣) He doesn't discriminate 😂
Ch**** Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Hi Lockfairy, I tried to message you but you have filters on...

Nothing wrong with a day and a half. I'd do a relatively quick coffee public meet up, it has benefit of seeing the whites of the eyeballs if personalities are on same wavelength and if there is an initial connection. It could save both 6 months of penpal activity that ultimately goes no where.
Cr**** Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Maybe that's where I'm going wrong 😂 I try to be respectful. No wonder not getting responses other than scammers

There's nothing wrong with either approach if all are agreeable - personally I like to take my time and get to know someone before meeting them and have yet to have a bad experience as a result - if others prefer to meet sooner then nothing wrong with that either - neither are red flags generally, though they may be on an individual basis for some.
Deleted Member Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 @Crawlexoffering a person a public meeting relatively soon is not disrespectful. I have done it on vanilla dating sites. The worst that happened was I made the effort of getting ready, going out, 2 or 3 hours of my time and a few quid spent. It should of course not be pushed hard either. I'm sure I noted it on my profile as a personal preference, that is what profiles are for, to inform after all.

Cr**** Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 @Shirt-n-Tie-Boy I'm kind of vanilla with my intros, like 'hey hope you're doing well, saw your prof blah blah blah' hoping for a response before getting to the meat of things. Very much on the other side of the spectrum compared to OP "super freak" 😂 Messaging ladies on the more dominant side that demand respect too so not the easiest game.

Exactly. I’ve met some people within a week or so, though those ones have not led anywhere. Conversational staying-power bodes well.

Je**** Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 11 hours ago, Lockfairy said: Honestly, I’ve been having this conversation with this one bloke for months and months now. We’ve talked about cooking, gardening, our ***, past relationships, even our goddamned laundry! It’s unbelievable that this guy thinks it’s ok to talk about all these different topics on an actual fetish site. Seriously? Obviously, we’ve talked about BDSM as well and there’s been lots of innuendo sprinkled in amongst the non-BDSM stuff, but how weird that this guy thinks he can treat me like a actual human being on an actual fetish site. Crazy! Now, this other guy who messaged me tonight - he really gets it! “You're a super freak, super FREAK! And I like it… 🙃” That’s what women expect on fetish sites! How dare some of you treat us like normal people! (Thank you - you know who you are 😘) I will sing it to my grave that this site needs to get rid of them really fecking disgusting, cheesy, impersonal, lazy one liners they have ready available to thirsty (in my experience mostly..) men. I literally put it on my profile to not send me them or i will block. And i block every person who sends me them. No second chances 😅😅😅 Gross. Sorry to hear you were treated like a human being. I'll say a pray. For me. To find me someone who will speak to me about dishes and laundry. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved this post.

We all make mistakes, live and learn.
