Here is to a better selection of men this time around! We’re also planning a Galentine’s day thing on here, so join us with your Prosecco on the 13th
fully up to you! i would be wary as you haven’t met in person, but i am naturally very cautiousCardiff man (bumble match, been chatting for about 10 days, video called twice, three long phone calls, texting through the day and evening) has asked for my address. I’m guessing/hoping he’s asked so he can send me a valentines card. This is safe enough right? We are meeting up halfway for a day date in half term. I don’t get any bad/weird vibes.
It’s funny we have so much in common, we haven’t even started to discuss stuff like films, music, life experiences etc yet so I don’t worry about that. He’s very articulate which I love. He’s in the entertainment/comedy industry behind the scenes so he’s very interesting. I’m very excited about this one as you can probably tell xThanks @Raymond Luxury-Yacht . I'm honoured as a newbie that my title was chosen. And you altered it beautifully.
@TillyMiffin When you have lots of chats etc do you worry that you'll have nothing to talk about when you meet. This guy sounds so different doesn't he in wanting to engage with you instead of the usual disappearing mid conversation which I now do!
If you don't have any doubts an option is to tell him to send the parcel so you can collect at the nearest post office - if you are not working from home it's a good excuse to maintain your address private until you see him and yet be kind and appreciative. If he says it's a card can be tricky but you have the option to say it would be meaningful to get it from him in person.Ah I’m going to see a comedy gig that night with my sonI’ll pop in to say hi x

Personally I wouldn't be giving out that information until you've at least met him in person...how many dates have we all been on where its been amazing chatting but then we meet them in person and it's a no ...you also have a child in your home so even more reason not to put yourself at risk...sorry to be a Debbie Downer but these men are strangers until we've met them. My home is my safe place and I protect it and me at all costs.Ah I’m going to see a comedy gig that night with my sonI’ll pop in to say hi x

Yes I did have this at the back of my mind.. One of my close friends owns a pub on the other side of town so I’ve given him that address. He was very understanding and totally got why I was being cautious. Now should I send him a card?….Personally I wouldn't be giving out that information until you've at least met him in person...how many dates have we all been on where its been amazing chatting but then we meet them in person and it's a no ...you also have a child in your home so even more reason not to put yourself at risk...sorry to be a Debbie Downer but these men are strangers until we've met them.

Just to add, we are all on our best behaviour when we are trying to impress or schmooze someone, that's not to say he's not an amazing bloke but at this point in time he really is just a stranger / acquaintance you need to treat him as such...

Ye.
Maybe I'm just too old and cynical but I'm struggling to understand what is happening here tbh. Why is he sending you a valentines day card? And why are you contemplating sending him one ? You met online 10 days ago ? Haven't yet met in person , I'm assuming you are building a foundation of friendship with intent to meet up soon ? Why is ' love ' even being mentioned ? It's all feeling a bit full on and love bomby to me and to much too soon...Yes I did have this at the back of my mind..

I have to echo this. I hate being a Debbie Downer too, but he’s not met you yet. It’s all pretty meaningless at this stage. Could be love bombing, so just keep an eye on things with him, and keep your guard up a bit until you’ve met and had a decent chance to get to talk to him face to face over a period of time.Thisit all seems like too much too soon
i absolutely agree with this - it’s been 10 days. call me super cynical but there shouldn’t be any talk of sending things directly to anyone’s houses? you rightly haven’t given your address for safety, by the same logic don’t ask for his, i’m not sure if i would even have given a friend’s address tbh.Maybe I'm just too old and cynical but I'm struggling to understand what is happening here tbh.
