I met this guy online...he wants to skype?
So i met this guy on a chatting site (such a stupid, stupid idea i know) He lives in the UK and me in the states...We decided to make fake names and fake fb accounts just to keep our actual identities a secret for personal reasons. We've been talking on fb for the whole day and he mad it very clear he wants to have benefits even though i thought we were talking in a friendly manner (I know im so dumb haha) he asked me if i had a skype and Im not going to skype someone i barely know so i said i dont have one and my computers jacked we have to wait. I told him im kind of in a long distance fling right now (which is true i am) and he said he was in the same situation and this wasnt cheating for either of us, just letting off some steam. He is respectful but just a little pushy on me getting a skype. He even told me he would pay for a webcam for me but i was like...no. He sent a picture of himself like his face and he is attractive and i sent him one of my face (just fb profile pictures) but the more i think about this i feel this is wrong. The guy im talking to long distance means a lot to me, and his trust and kindness would be wasted if i just wasted myself on some webcam to a weird guy in the uk.. i care about the other guy a lot so i dont think i can webcam him and do all the "fun" stuff he wanted to do. How do i tell him this? I told him i would message him back when i "fix" my laptop and skype. Do i just tell him we should be friends and im here to talk if he needs it?
So this girl wants to talk to me on Skype, but I don't really know her that much?
Since you've already been "talking" to her "in a way", it's not like you're complete strangers! You at least know a bit about her. IF you do find there are more people there, you can always stop the Skype, tell her you only wanted to talk to her & her alone, not a bunch of strangers. For some reason tho, I don't believe she'd do anything of this nature to you, I feel she just wants to get to know YOU better, not have anyone else with her. What do you have to loose but everything to gain! I'd give it a try if I were you. She must want to "see you" pretty badly if she went as far as to offer to buy you a Skype!! That WAS really nice of her with her offer to you. IF you need things to talk about, you could find out what movies she likes, what would she like to go see, what music/groups is she into, does she like sports, if so which one(s). Where would she go if she had a choice to go anywhere she wanted to. See what interesting things is she into. Go for it, & good luck!^
Does anyone want to join a Skype group?
Sounds like it would be an interesting experience, and I'm open to meeting new people, I could always use more knowledge gained from other peoples personal experiences. So sure, why not? Although, I'm a 15 year old girl, so I don't really have money, is Skype free? If not do you know of any free video chats? Also, I'm just going to assume your an adult, are you ok with talking to someone who isn't also an adult? Just want to make sure, cause im kinda immature so idk if you would actually want to talk to me.
A girl that I talk to online wants to skype with me, but I am extremely shy. How can I tell her that I feel too shy to talk on cam?
My boyfriend had the same problem at the start of our (then) friendship. He told me that (1) he is was very shy about skyping or talking on the phone in general .. and (2) he stutters like crazy when he is nervous/ stressed/ shy …I told him that (1) I understand how difficult a request this is for him, (2) we will take it as slow as he wants, and (3) he doesn’t have to use a camera until he decides he is comfortable enough.Then I highlighted why talking on the phone is going to be a fun experience for bth of us ,,,and that I will do my best to make it an enjoyable and relaxed chat .. He can choose the time and duration of the conversation ..Our first phone/ skype chat was almost two years ago …I didn’t activate my camera until he relaxed, and he activated his camera after a short while without me saying anything :)He still stutters, still shy sometimes, and sometimes is self-conscious … but he did it, and our loooong distant relationship is coming to an end soon :DGo for it! If she is a good person, she will try her best to help you feel comfortable.But face her with it… don’t hide anything about you … showing that you are vulnerable is beautiful, so don’t hide …

How to get courage to talk to someone on skype?
Now my question... Is this person you met on the internet and not in real life? If it that situation, then no worries! I know how you feel exactly.. (If it isn't that situation then you can still follow what i said(: ) I met some people online from a game and we became close and eventually we began to video chat and voice chat. When I first started, it was strange talking to people from online so I wouldnt say that much when we called. But as we continuously voice chatted and etc, I began to get use to it and trusted them more... And eventually began to be myself and talk to them casually. If you met this person online, then i totally know how you feel when you try vchatting with them! Try voice chatting more often so you will get use to talking to your friend! At first it may be awkward.. and strange but as you gradually keep talking to this person, then you'll get use to it. In the beginning, it may be awkward for you and you might be too shy to talk to them casually so try to make conversation and be less quiet so she can hear you and try to not to say one response answers. Try to talk more to your friend so that you can make conversation. Also don't be shy when your talking to her, i mean its great that she wants to voice chat with you! Just talk to her casually and calmly. Dont be too quiet and dont be too loud. Just talk how you normally would to other people! I hope this helped :)
Why would anyone want to use Skype for a family chat when FaceTime is so much easier to use?
Hi Nan, like you, I first started using a Mac somewhat recently (end 2011), but I also use a PC and expect to continue on at least those two platforms indefinitely. I also am eligible for a cell phone upgrade and likely will leave IOSland and the hand-me-down iphone 4 i now use for some other source of technological wonder/frustration.Against this boring background, with all respect and affection, believe it or not, your posting is a question containing unstated assumptions. There are myriad video chat applications beyond the two that you mention. Oovoo, google hangouts (don't laugh (too hard)), Zoom come immediately to mind. Of all of the five, I vastly prefer Skype for three main reasons (though I agree with other prior comments such as ability to dial out to POTS numbers etc.):a) I am more familiar with the "syntax" of Skype since I use it more than any of the other apps. Sending an attachment, adding a contact and the like are things I figure out eventually, but I know it cold in Skype (as I imagine you do in FaceTime);b) when a call is messed up, skype seems to have better mechanisms for diagnosing the situation and resolving (eg, bad sound settings on your device or a caller's); andc) I guess this is a network effect or something, but I frequently have Skype on when I'm available (and when I'm not). The others I launch only for specific interactions and tend to close immediately after. Hope this helps. Hope FaceTime creates a more intuitive interface someday too.
LDR: My boyfriend doesn't want to talk on Skype. He says he doesn't know what to say. He wants only text. What can I do?
Here are some ideas to try:Compliment his looks and facial expressions.Bring something fun to show, such as your dog, or an online page you can show using screen-sharing from Skype on a computer.Dare him and challenge him.Tell him you have 7 questions and you want to see whether he laughs or blushes or gets. angry.Keep it short… 10 minutes… don't wait until he's bored or struggling to think of what to say.Find a boy who isn't obsessed with texting, online games and chatting to 5 people at the same time. You'll either draw him in by making him jealous, or you'll have someone worthy of your time. and energy.Good luck, and remember to be careful: It's possible for either party to record a video conversation without the other party's knowledge.
