    Im posted an earlier introduction. I'm new at this haven't done really any socializing online before except with my friends. Are you just suppose to friend request people? I ve seen a lot of cute guys here and don't have much experience interacting in that type of way. I dont know where to look for guys now that I have decided to admit my attraction for them.

    Yeah just drop a quick message on their walls saying, 'Hey, I'm Undergrad. You like Nickleback too? Awesome! Rockerstar's a great song isn't it?' I can safely vouch for the majority of users on here, that we're all friendly and chatty, we'll reply :slight_smile: You can couple a friend request with a message, but I personally find it a tad creepy if someone just friends me and doesn't say anything :wink:

    Remember no contact details on the walls or forum, kay? As soon as you become a full member, private messages are great!

    Rosina's got it :slight_smile: Feel free to leave messages on people's walls, or reply to people's threads. Once you've been a member for two weeks and have made 50 posts you can apply for full membership, which means you'll be able to send private messages and use the chat room. A lot of the people I'm close to on here, I've become close to through chat.

    I found replying to people's threads a good way of making friends because it let's people know your views and interests and if they share any then it can be a real conversation starter my advice would just be put yourself out there and have fun with the forum the rest will come (*hug*)

    Yeah, as the above posters said: if you like to talk to someone, you just give them a message on their wall. After which they reply, after which you reply back... and before you know it you'll get a conversation going! Even though it sometimes takes some effort to get a conversation started, once you get it going it's pretty easy to keep it going.

    Also replying to people in threads is always appreciated. Even if it is just a few replies in chit chat or fun and games, that's the kind of stuff that does get you noticed and recognised.
