I did not know that the community site was pretty much all old friends. I see the banter back and forth and know that I won't be included.


It takes time. We've all been there.flowerforyou

Well I did learn how to swim, but my dad always said to just flip over and float for a while it you get tired. Maybe I will find a place to fit in this venue. If I get tired, I will just float for a while.


It does take a while to get use to everything! Just hang in there!

To see a familiar face, you've got to be a familiar face.

Every one has thousands more postings than I do. I stepped out of bounds.

Nah, you're fine. I am fairly new as well and felt out of place at first. It is fun to hang out and post, don't be discouraged and welcome! Glad you're here.

Oh for cryin out loud.

Everyone of us, at one point or another, were new people.

Everybody starts with their first post, and they MAKE friends from there.

The people around here are, for the most part, one of the friendliest bunch of people I have run across on the net.

Kick back, take your shoes off, check your negativity at the door, and just read the forums, throw in a post occasionally, and you'll be surprised by how many friends you make around here.

Reese,
There are several people on this site that have spent years chatting with each other and getting to know each other. In a way it is a society of its own.

The more time you spend talking and getting to know the people the more you will find yourself compelled to spend time on here doing jsut that. It is far more then just a dating site. It is more like a social networking community then anything else really.

You should also not be deceived by looking at posting counts as to how long they have been here. There are people that have multiple accounts on here or that leave for whatever reason and come back and get a new name at the same time with a new post count as well.

That's exactly what I mean. The whole subject is lost in friendship conversation. I don't know how to explain it.


That's something that just kinda happens here.

Very, very few topics will actually STAY directly on topic.

You get used to it after a while.

How weird. I don't get the men and I am not pretty. I am fiesty and have opinions of my own. I am not afraid to air them at any time. I just sometimes feel like the thumb on a hand full of fingers. I don't quite fit in, but I would like to be a part of it all.


Then BE feisty. Air those opinions.

THAT is how yer gonna make friends around here.

Sitting there saying that you don't fit in isn't gonna help you at all.

Be here for yourself not for others say what you have to say and don't mind what others think, if your comfortable with who you are then what others think or say and that they include you or not does not really matter.

<<<<<<<I'm fairly new here too (just joined 2 or 3 years ago). I'm not really in with the common society here......probally because I don't spend alot of time posting (I come & go in segments or maybe it's because I'm just a b*tch!)laugh But...I have made a handful of good friends and a few datable posibilities (If I move a million miles)

All in all ,it's alot of fun so get it the forums more waving

Many of us have VERY close friends here. But we certainly didn't start out that way. We were all new once. Jump in and have fun!

You all make me feel better. I will try not to bother anyone and just at to the conversation if I can. In time who knows, I may be good at this


bothering people is my job

I remember when Robin (the girl one) had just joined on another site and she was intimidated and discouraged for the same reasons and I told her,

some of these people are old friends and some of em are new friends and some of em just met. But once you're here just a little while you'll find that you too have good and close friends here and they will support and love you and you'll be happy you stayed

and she did and she grew up to be a mod and we are so proud of her (snif)


rofl You goof! I remember that too..so yeah, it's all your fault I'm still here!!

Reese, it's exactly as quiet says. It just takes a bit of time, you'll find your niche here. Don't get discouraged just keep posting. If you can't tell by the encouragement you've received in this thread, there are some great folks here, worth the time to get to know.flowerforyou
