If you like someone on here and you are a female is it
OK to let the gentleman know you would like to get to
know him for more than just a friend. I am new at this
and always thought it is not proper for the lady to make
the first move.

Also, guys if a lady does approach you on here with that
comment, would you be offended?

dunno

In this day and age, whoever approaches is alright.

I know, I am bad at icebreakers sometimes and feel it would be easier if a women approaches me.

But at the same time, if I don't do anything, then I might have lost out on making a new friend or maybe more.

So, it all goes back to what you feel is comfortable.

I love CS for the fact it has 3 ways to break the ice and you can choose how you wnat to appraoch a person.

Great question Sassy. cheers hug

IMO, sassy, there's nothing wrong with a girl making the first move. Joli sent me a flower initiating our first dialogue. Look where we're at now. grin

It never hurts to just send him a flower. You don't have to get all "gushy" in it... just maybe say something like, "I noticed you".

The thing is Sweet, I have been corresponding with him for
awhile now and I get no vibes from him that he is the
least bit interested in anything besides friendship. hug

On our path of journeys, we will always find someone who is seeking the same thing, no matter the age difference.

Some of us approach it early in life, some of us approach it later.

But at least friendship can begin at any date. hug

Well, if you've already thrown the bait out there & he hasn't even nibbled... I'd say it's time to cast elsewhere. His loss hon. hug

True, but sometimes you have to get bold. Some people can be pretty thick and won't get hints. I can't tell you how many times I've had women tell me years later that they had a crush on me and dropped all sorts of hints. I'm better at it now laugh but back then it had to practically be pounded into me. So wait until you actually try before fishing in another pond. Even if he says "no" at least you won't have to wonder what could have been. thumbs up

I´m a bit old fashioned in that respect... I can be friendly and chat a bit more frequently with someone that I like, maybe send them a flower saying I liked something they posted... but I pretty much leave it up to them to take it any further.

I understand your hesitancy...you could lose a good friend. However, if you feel this way, part of you will always want more with this person, and if they find someone else you'll be hurt and the friendship may end anyway. Also, he might be feeling the same way, and you'll never know if you don't try it...so, to me you've not much to lose, and possibly a lot to gain, by letting him know. Better that than letting this eat at you.

Btw, it worked for me, too. thumbs up And it wasn't easy...I was raised the traditional way, too.

if the person has hinted at you they would like to be more than friends than i think you should let them know sooner than later
