So, I just realized I have some "friends request" pending.
I am not going to add any of them to my friend list at that point. If we are writing together, or I met or am planning to meet you, that means we are already on friends level, no need to tell the World we are.


And now, why do you people add other people to your friends?
I am keeping in touch with, let's say 3 guys. I would say each of them is smart and therefore aware I could be writing with few others, but they don't know who those others are. Assuming I would add each of them to my friend list, they may get the most stupid idea of comparing themselves to others (either how toll/fit they are, what profession they have, etc), which is not advisable. I don't want any of them lose the self-confidence, or feel better than the other guys I am writing with, or get jealous and so on.
And if we did had a date, that's still too early to tell the whole World about it.

So you, who are/were looking for dating or more. Why and when did you add the people to your "friends"?

When they read your thread they will all know that you chat with multiple men anyway. Prepare yourself for some childish and snide comments from them.

They added me I just accepted it. I guess they're like furnishing. Random girls furnishing my profile, not wholly unlike how my own house got decorated

Like many on here I've mostly found that Friend requests come from scammers or people who fall outside my settings re age,location etc.

It's simply a way for them to make contact once the request has been accepted conversing


In the past I friended ppl I got to know through the forums, but disabled the function some time ago as I don't find it necessary really wine

Katiko here is only a tool. Its hard to find a FRIEND in real life never mind on internet !! I do accept friendship cause if that person sends me a friendship means there is something right about me ( whatever that is ). But guess what: 6 of them I don't talk to them 1 of them is on my Facebook. ( and believe you me who is on my Facebook ) he/she is not a jerk.

thumbs up

But the 2 of the 3 I consider I know a little better, know I am writing with others, somehow it appeared in the conversation. And it never has been a secret.
Moreover I am pretty sure they are chatting with other women. (in one case I know)
Till the moment we will become a couple I find nothing wrong with any of us doing it.
And even once we become a serious couple I would probably not request to stop this if the person simply changes his status. I bet to say that few of those people we met here may turn into great friends, even if we eventually date someone else :)

By the way, most of the request are from guys we exchanged one or no emails!
So, I wouldn't say we are "friends".

I only have other posters I would banter with on the forum/blogs on my friends list.

It is a way of making contact btw. although I had it in one case that even accepting a friend request didn't open up a communication channel. conversing

I think in a lot of cases it's from people who would like to start communication, I don't add anyone I wouldn't have chatted with. wave

I think that the "friend" thing is a useless function on this site. Most requests I get are scammers. Delete delete

I think I only accepted one or two Friends Requests and then later deleted them.

I decided back then that I had enough people in real life giving me headaches I didn't need any online.laugh

Some folks treat CS like an extension of facebook with the friends feature which can become a hindrance on a dating site. If I get friend requests from people I don't know or who don't correspond with me either privately or in the forums, I delete them. On a few occasions, I've sent an email to the person requesting friendship to let them know my stance on it and they either accept it graciously or get upset by it. To me, friendship is something more valuable than displaying a group of people on your profile that you never talk to...it simply doesn't make sense to me.

I get friend requests from people who have never even contacted me via email. Those guys are definitely not my friends, so I just delete the requests.

I have a grand total of 10 friends!
Most of those are from my early days in the Chatroom, and I have met a lot of them in real life.
I alway delete friends requests now. Most are from people I have never spoken to, and never will.

I think lots of people 'collect' friends to make themselves look popular or something! dunno

Katiko: And now, why do you people add other people to your friends?

Yeah... people I think just add these friends on their profile to massage their own ego. It's also a bit risky too... other people can get close to one of your friends to extract information out of them that you wouldn't otherwise want to give out to others.... so it's all trouble as far as I'm concerned.
