Very easy to talk to people..the private messaging is great...not like some site where you can't give phone numbers...etc.

The most important thing for me about any dating site..is after a couple of correspondence I like to give my phone number...cause I think it is very important to check out our communication style.

I have had guys call me and within 5 minutes I don't like the way it is going...like he is talking over me...or I am talking over him...Or I just don't like his voice or his laugh...Depending how I felt..I could sometimes say..Uh...I don't think this is going to work and it has been nice getting to know you...Or if I feel bad for the person and can't say that..then I just ignore them after that....But, the PHONE gives you great insight.

Cause when I met my boyfriend that I still talk to and have been with for 4 years (broken up now)...We talked for hours and hours..it was a free flowing conversation with plenty of laughs...

I ended up meeting him in person and it went from there.

The phone conversation is imperative to me.
First phone conversation with my now husband was pretty strange. I mean it was going ok intelligence wise but he was making noises like blowing his nose or coughing and one time he whistled and then laughed too loud and snorted. I thought he is either rude or just a weirdo. Well he has Tourette’s. That explained it. Lol he was nervous and was ticking full speed. I am glad I didn’t judge him by that first talk we had! Ha

I personally can’t stand being on the phone so I hope people don’t judge me as no way I’d be on the phone for hours, unless maybe driving and bored. I don’t have few hours to spare!
