Makes perfect sense...
and yup, I've been there too.

Some even act like it's
"wrong" for peeps to just want
to build online friendships...
who'd be that lame? right?

Whatever... keep bein' yourself Red.

Friendship only just makes sense to me. I am sure each 'friendship only' person has their own reason. I would like it if Mingle2 had sound capability. My sound would be 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

Tell them up front why you're sending them a message so there's no question. I often email people just because they seem interesting. Not because I want to date them.

Id hate to even guess what my theme song would be!!

I have noticed that more and more people are here for friendship only, whether they be new or old. Personally, I'm here for the same reason. There are times that I would look at someone's profile or even send them a message because:

1. I randomly clicked on their profile and found something in there that piqued my curiosity.
2. I saw them around the Community Forum and found them funny or interesting.
3. I was just THAT bored.

But some people would automatically assume that just because I initiated the contact: I want to date them, get their money, or marry them. Has anything like this ever happened to you too, wherein you found someone interesting on a friendship level, but they immediately took it the wrong way? How can you tell people that, "No, I don't find you hot. I'd probably slit my wrists with a rusty butter knife before I'd consider dating you. I actually just want to be friends." Have you ever initiated contact because you genuinely just want to be friends and they never replied back, or if they did, only gave you a perfunctory answer?

I'm probably not making any sense, but they're serious questions.

I often do, Sing, and I even have on my profile that I'm here for friends. Maybe I should use bold letters when typing the phrase?

I'm completly daft when it comes to flirting. Even if people flirt with me I still can't seem to pick up on it. I can't flirt very well, and really can't pick up on when someone is flirting with me.

So pretty much every conversation is on a friendship level, and I can't tell you if they want to date me, marry me, or (as funny as it seems) want to get my money.

I'm the same way, I have absolutely no concept of flirting.

People have said to me, "Didn't you notice her flirting with you?" and I'm totally oblivious. I never even know who they're talking about.
