It is that I get to have load of craic with the gang. And they (sorry we) organise get-togethers, so that means you get to meet everyone and not have to worry about meeting strangers on your own.
I mostly stick to IE forums. They are great craic and the people on this i find have nothing to hid. It's all just a laugh. Can't take life too seriously. Otherwise, like someone else says, just stick to sending flowers (women love flowers) or sending emails. Think I head IM's are coming to this site soon.
