Fiiine. I retract the hugs.
Dating sites Page 61
Noooo! Hugs are always welcome!
I predict that you will start your course and meet an amazing woman like what's-her-name on the gardening programme. She'll have earth in her fingernails, a flower in her hair and you will love her forever (does spell to make it come true).

Are you familiar with Chris Rock's definition of platonic friendship? For a man a platonic friend is a woman he hasn't slept with - yet. For a woman a platonic friend is a prick in a glass case - in emergency break glass.
It seems unusual that two people would meet and correspond on a dating site, then get together and go out on dates, but do so 'just' as friends. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's marvellous; but I would expect something more to happen at some point. Especially since at least one of them does actually want a romantic relationship.

Her profile stated she was looking for 'hang out' but also went on to describe what sort of man she finds attractive, so...
I did like her physically from her pics, and there was a bit of flirting, but if there's no 'thing' between you then it doesn't matter where you met, you can still be friends if you get on.

Yes! Alys Fowler! I *heart* her!
From your fingers to God's ears, keewik!
Don't give up. You've only been on there five minutes.

If there's no spark then there's no point - but you can make good friends there.
Couple of my friends have started using those sites and they seems really happy nowadays..!!
I guess these sites worked for them and they got the right partners..!!

It's so frustrating, though.
I suppose most women are extra defensive on there because 90% of the messages they get must be 'hi hun, r u a norty gurl?'.
I am lucky enough to have met my current boyfriend on a dating website - and he's incredible. I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

No, my girlfriend is.
That's nice.
Ells, why do you choose to use a dating site, aren't you one of those socializing people who go out n stuff? Does a dating site give you more options or are the guys you meet when out not up to scratch?

I do go out, but I tend to find people I meet in bars are twats, and not on the same level as me... or single, or straight, or nice.
Thought so.
