I simply call when my wife isn’t in the house, or drive somewhere and park up. Seems pointless calling someone when you’re not alone.

Deleting the call logs afterwards is pretty much essential.

Maybe if you try not to be such a ‘player ‘ you might have better luck ..

Thought i'd add my two pennies worth to this conversation....not that anyone will read it!
Speaking on the phone once or twice is definitely a must, as it's a good way to gauge whether you are suited. However.......a video call for me is definitely a no no, as you can guarantee you're being interviewed, with the IE checking out what you're wearing, what kind of house you live in etc.....stick to just a phone call I say! lol!

Well then ask yourself if you really want to interact with those who are so thrifty with their words! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t think there is such a thing as over texting …it’s better than no texting at all …you can usually hazard a guess in the beginning if they grow into the realm of random messages and the conversation is about sex straight away …this comes under the heading of a ‘sex pest’….that is the only reason for me..

@ExoticOrchid

Good point! But not always an option 😄

Cost of living crisis in the UK has impacted IE as well... I seem to come across ppl reapecting their savings with single word texts ... hence my earlier question! 😁

Re "overtexting" ... as with everything, it all depends on the individuals and the kind of IE relationship they have ... some would like it, some might not ... some might not have the time to read/reply to every text, etc, etc ... agree beforehand.

Phone calls can be rather delightful... I tend to pace and smile a lot when having a good conversation with an IE over the phone.. so.. the excuse wouldn't serve me much. Is all about timing for me.

Slightly different question though: is there such thing as overtexting? A person who present themselves as too articulate.. can that be a turn off?
