Since the chances of me actually getting to meet anyone in person here are negligible (Distance 6000 miles plus) I've made it clear in my profile that I'm looking maínly for friends to talk to and just to have fun.
But....If you want to send me money,or pay for me to come over there, I'm open to offers.

I think some people have a hard time knowing, just what to say when they first meet someone. Just plain requesting a friendship, is a cue to you, hey, Im interested! I know personally I dont participate in the forums all that much. I usually just read a profile and attempt to get acquainted, if Im interested, ya know? I dont think it's such a bad thing. You are on a dating site, its not like a stranger is approaching you on the street. No danger in responding with an email. No, of course no danger. It's not that which concerns me. It's where this person's head is. If they want talk to me, why don't they send me an e-mail? If they don't know what to say, then clearly they have nothing to talk to me about,so what is the point? The idea of a dating site is communication, I thought. So a friend request from someone who has never bothered to take the time to speak to you is completely meaningless. |

true but wouldn't e-mail be a more effective means of communication? A friend request tells you nothing. The icon sits there on your friend list ever thereafter. There is no communication. |

All of the people in my friends list are people that I met in the different forums. People that I have something in common with and have joked around with are the only ones that I send friend requests to. Yes I also chat with some of them either on here or yahoo messanger.

Why does someone send a friend request when you have never been in a forum together? What sparks it off? trophies .. lol I think you are right. If I want to become someone's friend, it is because of something they said in the forums. Then I send them and e-mail and it's bffs. A friend request doesn't do enough. You never talk to the person again because you never met them in the first place. |

Maybe their pervin' ya from a distance! 
Morning Hiker! 
Heck I don't know why they do that. Maybe they are lonely and want friends... Morning Ms,Teddy. From what I am reading, people do become friends that way. I guess I, in my verbosity, require more of an exchange in order to pick my friends. |

Yes I also chat with them either on here or yahoo messanger. right, and that makes sense to me. That is how my friends list is. It might be short, but it's all people I have talked to at one time or another in the forums and/or e-mail. Not random strangers trying to pump up their friend list. |

They could be new to this and not up on how it usually work's. I've got to say that I feel the same way. But, if they look interesting, I'll give them a chance. If they seem strange then, no way.

These days, on men I don't know. I always click decline, whether there is a message there or not. But I tend to get more requests from women than men. Always accept the ladies.

I have a boatload from another site, but I also become friends with a lot of people just from email. I do agree though, no communication .. why add to list.

Awe...they may have plenty to talk to you about, they might just be a little shy with the opening line! I always give anyone and everyone the chance to talk to me if they are interested. Then I determine whether it is worth pursuing. Try not being so hard on people, everyone has a different approach on getting to know someone. You might be surprised. |

Sending and recieving friend requests show that there are people out there who are interested in you and what you are about. Email contact is always there as well and I use it. IM also. If you don't send, recieve or accept Friend Requests, then there is very little chance of actually meeting anyone in person. Posting in the forums only gives a vague opinion of what you are like. Talking to 'friends' gives you the oppertunity to get to know the person better.
