We are chatting and it’s going well
However we’re at the step of sharing our numbers
Something is telling me that it can’t be right
All the times I tried dating apps I never really connected with anybody
Think that it might be a scam or something
What should I do?

Could be a scam. What are some of the details?
Do they have any other forms of contact, like social media. If I get doubts of a scam, I ask for facebook, twitter, insta and so on.
Edit. The post history on those platforms can help discern scammers or genuine

Well she seems to be very keen to take things further
Usually I never attract anybody
This has made me suspicious

Red flag if she is a Nigerian Princess and you are the sole heir to her Father’s fortune.

It says London on her profile so she lives a couple of hours away
She said she doesn’t drink which is good

That could be a giveaway. Most discriminating women wont choose someone so far away. Scammers use distance to their advantage to delay meeting and get money.

But you can’t be sure. Just play along with it until she asks for something.

She wants my number
Don’t know if I have struck lucky
The past tells me when something is to good there must be something going on

You can entertain a scammer, but don’t suspend disbelief to stay in a fantasy that will only hurt you.
You may have struck lucky, I dont know.

Be careful.
A co-worker of mine lost 25k to a romance scam.

Ok thanks!
I guess I have nothing to lose sharing my mobile number?
Just worried it’s someone trying to play me
Not sure

Share your number, long out the conversations though. Till you can clue up whether it’s nefarious or not I would say

I think I will do
Have a track record of being so paranoid about intent that I have never let any relationship go too far
Kind of a shame
But I really struggle to trust people
