your online dating subscription is about to expire, you had already decided not to stay on because you're not meeting anyone you like and just plain tired of the online thing....then you start talking to someone you may be interested in...
I don't have any intentions of renewing, seems like we have some potential.....do I give him just my email OR phone # to continue communication? ( is that too forward or weird?)
GUYS would you be weirded out if someone you were talking to decided to get off the site and wanted to communicate in another way?

I wouldn't be weirded out if we had exchanged a couple emails first. If it was too soon I might think they were just trying to spam me or something.
But just explain that your subscription is about to expire and if he wants to talk to you he'll have to call you or email you. Not a big deal, I've done it before.0 -

Thanks!
we've been talking for a week and I had already mentioned that I wasn't sure match was the right place to meet someone (for me).
I also wasn't sure if email address or phone # would be more appropriate?0 -
All depends what you're comfortable with. You could just give him both and let him decide. But personally after a few emails I'd just rather communicate by phone, it's too hard to get to know someone's personality over email.I wouldn't be weirded out if we had exchanged a couple emails first.

very true! I think with the last guy I am now over thinking things and not wanting to rush anything

I agree with Roadie. It's not too soon for email or calls. Might help you decide how you really feel about him anyway.0

If you think there is potential, definitely give him your email........if not comfortable yet, you could hold off on the phone number0
-
If you've been talking for a week, I think it's definitely ok to give him your number. Not too forward at all, and he'll know you're interested!0

i think that if theres any interest at all, and you know your about to run out of time, then go ahead and give him your phone number. You can even explain the situation with the time if it makes you feel better, and i think most guys would not only understand but be very grateful to not lose out on a possible oppertunity.
worse case scenario. someone has your cell #. you have a block list if its needed anyway.0 -
Agree with all of the above. A week is definitely plenty of time to have been talking with someone. Good luck! 0

This happened to me last month.. the day before my eharmony subscription was set to expire I got a 'smile' from someone.
Personally I went right to email, and stated what was happening, that I wasn't renewing, and here was my email.
Worked well for me.
ETA: oh def. do it if you have been talking for a week.0 -
I also wasn't sure if email address or phone # would be more appropriate?
I gave a guy my phone number. After deciding I didn't want to continue talking to him, I'm still getting daily texts from him over a week later. I've ignored every single one, no reply at all. He hasn't given up yet. :noway:0 -

Log into your account on the website of your cell carrier. Most let you block 5 numbers or so for free.0 -
Thanks for the block phone number advice. If he doesn't give up soon, I will definitely use that feature.0

This happened to one of my best friends, so she did give him her contact info, and now I just returned from their wedding this weekend! So if you think there is potential I say go for it!0

I couldn't figure out the block on my phone.... I called in a favor with an ex-boyfriend (who was a cop). Problem solved... :drinker:0 -

Or get a google voice # and block however many people you want. Its my stranger # - when I'm sure he isn't a creep he gets my real #! 0 -

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I also use Kik Messenger for certain guys when I'm unsure.0 -

thanks I did. now let's see if he follows through :blushing:
p.s. congrats on the weight loss! that is awesome!0 -
I agree with all of the above. EIther download KiK Messenger (it's free) or email.
Also, for everyone, mr.number is a free app that not only blocks numbers but also shows where they're calling from. The number will appear for a second when they call and then show it has been blocked. You're welcome! 0
