Is there value to chatting on a Chat Site?
Typically I rely on face to face options (bars, shopping malls, freelancers etc) for hook ups. However, I'm in Dumaguete heading to Cebu tomorrow so I thought I would try my luck at using PinaLove to prearrange some options.
Let me say upfront that I have zero experience with the Chat sites and zero Game when it comes to on line hook ups. Despite that I've been flooded with options for meetings and within one or two messages, I've got their number and an ok to meet up when I arrive. Only one girl told me outright that she will not meet at the hotel (perhaps she will be ok with returning after an introductory coffe, who knows? All the other seem keen as mustard. I realise that some / a lot will just be promises and will fall by the way side but the odds are still looking good for a busy time in Cebu.
My question is what value do others see in extended online correspondence with the girls? I read of guys having long conversations with them, video chats etc. Is there value in this? I've got no interest in dirty talk nor swapping naked pics. I've already got their contact details and know what they look like so why the courting period online?
My plan is to meet at a convenient coffee shop or similar for final interviews. If the profile photos are 5 years or 50 lbs ago we can just shake hands and walk away. I've only lost the cost of a coffee. That's a small price to pay for the opportunity to judge the viability. Is this a good plan or have I missed something?
