Words With Friends is Not a Dating Site

United States
April 29, 2019 5:35am CST
I try to play Words With Friends every day, several times a day. I do try to accept games from random players, but not too often. Sometimes I will hold a conversation with whom I am playing a game. That is of course if the conversation doesn't start with "Hello beautiful, nice to meet you." Having recently started many games and played many rounds with new people I thought that it was safe to assume that the chosen players were just interested in the game. Well, I was wrong. One player decided to tell me how beautiful I was and that he was happy to meet me. The next question was "are you there?" I replied, "No, this is her husband." His reply, "Um, Ok." I then replied, "I don't like that you are flirting with my wife." The player resigned from the game. Guess I'll just stick with playing the game with people that I know.

I have met some great people online. Those that push the envelope get blocked fast.

I have heard of that game but always preferred to play with people I knew... I have had friends that have had the same experience as you... Sad, but true!!

I keep the chat open for my actual friends and I to interact during the game.

I play Words With Friends everyday as well but only with those I know. I never thought about people trying to use it as a dating sight. People are strange.

Some people are strange. Most are wonderful and worthy of my time.
