I will offer something of a counter example, I guess.
I do engage in more extensive texting, even sometimes before meeting. I think we have not has as bad of luck at this as some who are commenting here- not sure why. We understand that having a relationship via texting or chatting is an entirely different thing from having chemistry in person, so we don't build expectations too high based solely on how well a texting conversation is going.
One other area of slight disagreement is about the notion of initially contacting a couple, then telling them that if they want to meet us, just show up at such-and-such a club. If we want to meet a couple, we will try to really meet THEM, for dinner or drinks or to talk- not run into them by chance, in a noisy club setting with distractions all around, and with a built-in, known-to-all escape clause in case we don't find each other interesting enough. If someone suggests that to us, we take it as a sign that they're not really interested in meeting us, and perhaps are just using a brush off line that they believe to be polite.
When we see a profile of a couple we like, we want to get to know them- and we're willing to invest the time to make that happen. We want to have the focus on them and us. Now, we have had a share of frustrations- cancellations, no-shows, unwelcome surprises, or people we just didn't click with. But we feel,like that's just the cost of doing business, and a price we're willing to pay in order to have the possiblity of meeting great people. Besides, we all gotta eat!
