Have you ever video-called someone before and do you like that better than calling or texting?

Question

It's different. Something I have to get used to. But it's honestly kind of nice when it's someone you really like.

I do like it better. I get a lot out of facial expressions and body language in general.

Finchie40 · Answer

Yes I like video calling , especially when I am talking to a girl I met on the internet , to make sure she is legit and not some scammer or catfish trying to blow smoke up my ass. Me personally will not meet anyone off the internet unless they prove to me they are legit. I get bombarded with scammers and catfish on a regular basis on the internet, why I don’t really trust the internet that much, because there are a lot of wack jobs out there , that do shit like that. So if you ever hit it off with someone you met online , and they make excuses as to why they can’t video chat you , just know they are blowing smoke up your ass , and that they aren’t who they are claiming to be. A lot of wack jobs out there that like to pretend to be someone they aren’t , and sadly those people need serious mental therapy or some shit. A lot of people have to much time on their hands to do shit like this and it blows my mind that they get off on doing it , we live in a fucked up society

No. I do occasionally use Marco Polo. You’re recording videos and sharing them rather than live streaming videos. That works better for me because of the time difference between west coast and the midwest.

I video chat with friends and relatives a lot. It's not better than calling or texting, it's just a different, more personal, way of communicating. Thank you WhatsApp.

I guess you mean in terms of love. If so, I haven't before and even hate just voice calling without a real need for it.

Texting for nothing would be a bothersome already. I also don't stand stickers in text, and was told I am serious because of it (true, I am very serious as a person.. but I hate them because they are generally overused; used easily a lot + generalize things and can't be specific to what I want to express). Just noisy and needless. As I said, I will only do something where needed.

I surely might (voice) call a lover myself initiating it some time, but I'd say I will shortly stop it later at some point.
•• I might be a little more with voice messages though. I could easily send 10-20 mins in total. Not always though, but voice messages are surely an alternative in my case. I also love if the person does it well ••

I did several video calls as interviews (as a candidate) and kind of got used to it. Also, did few times talking to my mum when I was abroad.. which I wholesomely disliked 😒.

Karrimurray · Answer

Honestly, yes 😂❤️ I actually prefer video calls when I’m dating someone. There’s something different about seeing their face, watching their reactions, and just feeling like they’re actually there with you. Texting is cute, regular calls are nice, but a random late-night video call with someone you really like? That hits differently. 🥹💕

Theoretical_Apulu · Answer

I prefer texting because first, I don't even have a phone. My personal device in a big ass tab which is too big for anything, and I don't like video calling because I just feel ugly on camera. My order is like this

Meeting up

Texting

Voice call

Video call.

Yes I did video call someone before. Actually many before.

Abbycado · Answer

Yep! Certainly have. I didn’t enjoy it much. It was with @circushowcowboy and he couldn’t get high enough for the camera to see him. ☹️

That depends on the context. Most people I deal with in business I wouldn't want to have on a video call, especially if I'm sitting in my bed rolling calls. But my boyfriend and I are almost always on Facetime, even if I'm not looking my best (though I always try to look good for him).

Alex-Snow · Answer

I like it. That way you can see facial expressions, the tone of the voice and hear a good laugh. I have also done them with girlfriends or an friends with benefits if we are apart for a while and wanted to watch each other masturbate... it was kinda fun. Sorry if that is TMI

bobalife · Answer

Oddly I don’t like it because I rarely use FaceTime and I’m not used to just seeing myself talk lmao. I always feel awk even with my own family lolz. But I do enjoy texting, phone calls, and in-person quality time.

georgeboy2006 · Answer

I'm definitely more of a texting and in-person quality time person though video calling hits totally different when it's with someone you actually like! 😉

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yeah, and I hated it. It is just as awful as texting someone. At the very worst, talk on the phone, but even that is only in extreme circumstances. Failing that, leave me alone. lol.

Moirine · Answer

It's different for everyone and it depends on who the person is. I don't like video calls in general even with my boyfriend.

molonski2 · Answer

Always.. have done for years , always insist on a video call , I always use as confirmation.. Plus so many fake photos these days , it's a must.

thegreenyogi · Answer

No I prefer texting. Why video call when you can meet in person? Plus texting is much more doable for me because really I only have time for that.

NathanDavis · Answer

no, either we meet in person or we text calls are the worst for me maybe I should just get my ears checked... lol

Shiprex · Answer

I prefer video calls to voice. I had one of each today and it was nice seeing my wife in her shop with the neighbours baby

browsingthroughthe · Answer

God , give me an ordinary phone call 📞 any day of the week 👀😋

MrChinaski · Answer

If you actually need an outcome from the conversation, video calling is much better. Body language matters.

bowenw · Answer

I hate how I look and sound on video, so it's very rare.

exitseven · Answer

I have video called plenty if people at work. There was no video calls when I was dating

Staximus · Answer

I have only got a couple of those video calls, I don’t think anybody needs to see my face that bad

Anonymous · Answer

I do that with my boyfriend sometimes. Mostly we just text though. Are you talking about your ex?

Eleni200879 · Answer

Yes, especially after meeting them on a dating site to make sure they are who they say they are.
