"I've always struggled sending first messages. It used to be a confidence thing with me thinking I was always punching above my weight so I usually went of people who sent a wink or tabbed my pics and messaged that way. Then I started in the forums playing the games like face pic Friday and send a wink to who you fancy. And to be fair some I thought was out my league was interested. So my confidence kind of grew. I've met some great people on here and no doubt I'll meet some great people in the future " I understand this ... but you know you’re handsome - you just have to start believing it !! Leagues - no such thing ( she says ) You’ll be ok | |||

"I’m sorry for sounding cynical but surely messaging someone how you feel, telling them you like them or just to say hi on this format isn’t hard? Unless you’ve actually met that person you don’t know who they really are and you are taking everything on face value. Therefore why should you feel nervous, scared or make it a big deal. So what if they don’t reply, delete your message or respond how you’d like they Cleary aren’t the person you thought they were so you can cross them off your list and move on. What is being suggested is actually a good thing and a quicker way to finding the right person/people for you to meet. Apologises for this being so long and typed during a hungover state " I’m very good at not stating I’m interested I’m very good at thinking , I’ll let them tell me etc etc | |||

"Hi Floro. Just wanted to say I’ve really enjoyed your posts recently. I like the introspective vulnerability of them. I do tend to tell people that I like them. Not all but been getting braver and I’ve become friends with most of them. I’m meeting two people tomorrow that would never have happened if I hadn’t. Love this And thank you ... let’s just say I thought I was dead inside - clearly not Oh no. You’re very much alive and I’m enjoying seeing a new side to you " | |||

"I do this anyway, that's just the way I'm wired... if I like someone they'll know I do, be that as friends or if I want to get jiggy with them. Sometimes it isn't reciprocated, but hey, that's life, and at least I know. Nobody has completely freaked out yet, which must mean I'm not a complete weirdo...or that everyone I've messaged is just super polite " This! | |||

"Most men would like to receive a message from a female that likes the look of your profile but unfortunately due to the ratios it doesn’t or very rarely happens " I agree. It’s a rare treat. I actually had an unsolicited message from someone local yesterday. Apparently I was in her hot list and she decided to risk telling me. It made my day. | |||

I actually prefer it that way. I’m not very good at sending the unsolicited first message. However if it is someone I really like it is usually me that then says something to that effect....eventually. | |||

No such thing as leagues " I Whole heartedly agree with you there, beauty is subjective and peoples preferences and tastes wildly vary, just because I think someone is beautiful does mean they are or that others agree, for example theres a lovely lady in our office at work and all the lads bang on about her like shes the most beautiful woman on the planet and try chatting her up all the time, and they all think I'm strange begets because I dont find her remotely attractive in that way shes just a lovely woman who I work with. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the 17 coffees are kicking in | |||

"But .... that’s because I’ve been thinking. So many of us on here have that one or two people who we like ( probably more than we should - depending on who you talk to ) We have the ones we haven’t told, we have the ones we’ve looked at and are curious and it doesn’t even have to mean you’re interested in that person in a sexual way - they just intrigue you. The ones where you think ‘ fuck!! They’re too gorgeous for me’ and all that malarkey. Why not choose today - to be the day where you express exactly how you feel? Whether it be that you want to fuck them over the sofa or if your heart skips a beat each time they post or you get mail from them. All too often we distance ourselves from admitting how we feel , call it self preservation, but who knows what wonderful things could be waiting for you if only you were brave enough to express yourself. Do it Be brave I’ll even remove all my filters for a while too " I talked a lot about how I feel this week and sadly it did me no favours at all. So I’ll skip this one, but by all means reach out to us if you have something you want to say. Good luck to you all, I hope a little honesty and vulnerability works out well Xx | |||

" Much easier , see I do speak my mind , honesty used to be s form of flattery ,now because rare became suspicious. But I have no intention of change , besides the suspicion I got back , I also got some nice messages. | |||

But you're not , so a full version of your profile pic in public folder would do for now. | |||
