Can someone explain the 'friends request' please (10)
hi im new to all this too, im sure with the e-mailing saying not my type is the right thing to put. at least the fella knows where he stands right from the start then.
Hi Sweetlolita
Fairly new to this as well, but that does sound like a plan , to put that if i dont email you back you are not my type.Then you won't have the struggle.

Being very new I would have thought a "friends request" would be the least "aggresive" for want of a better word, way to approach someone you thought was interesting or that you wanted to get to know.
Put in a real life type situation I would think sending some one flowers you have never met might be a bit over the top, and a email out of the blue a little odd.
A friendly, hey how are you, care to chat friend request seems like the first greeting of two strangers.
As I said Im new, so just my thoughts.

Thanks Yes it is my decision, but i mainly sent the thread because i was a little confused over the friends request as wasnt sure what it meant. 
I appreciate your view on it Liberty and that sounds like common sense approach. As normal i had the wrong end of the donkey lol

Sweetlolita: Hi I seem to get quite a lot of these 'friends request' s but i do not know these people. Are you suppose to go through this process if you want to become friends with someone on this site. I am sort of new to this whole thing so my understanding is that if a guy liked a girl he would send her a flower or he may email an introductory email.
Then the lady would be able to have a look at his profile and if she found him interesting she would flower back or email a return response. So guess i am sort of confused at the friend request, especially if you have not spoken before.
Also at the risk of sounding like too much of a softie, but am struggling with writing 'thanks but no thanks' is it ok to put on your profile that if i dont email you back you are not my type or something similar? Or would that be rude?

--- Friend is a very special person---no/yes?
think I understand what your saying, well some people just want to make friends,
Some want to start off as friends.....
I don't think it is rude if you tell a person you don't think there is no connection,
I read profiles and if I don't feel the match or any hope there might be one I say politely I don't think your profile description meets with mine..
I think you should say it how ya want, least with me then I see the persons personality and if it stinks I'm better of....
