Maybe I expect too much...Am I taking this friends request thing to seriously?In my experience here (member for something like 4 years), the process of getting to know people here isn't really that much different than it is face to face. You exchange a "hello" and sometimes strike up a conversation and sometimes not. If you do strike up a conversation sometimes it leads to a second and sometimes not. After a few conversations you know if you have enough in common to have a few more. It's sometimes a slow process. Getting to know people takes time and can't really be rushed.
Having said that, you seem a decent guy so I'd be happy to have a chat with you sometime. Cheers! :)

I am not here to "be a friend collector" I really am looking for genuine friends of any race or said sexual orientation...so with that being said I read profiles to try and find if the there common interests etc. and if there commonalities I might send a message to introduce myself to start some dialogue. I guess what frustrates me the most is that I get all these friend request from guys that I know have not read my profile because I have outlined how I would like to build friendship.I could not agree more , I have put on my profile that I will only accept friend invites from people I have messagedwith and who have a picture, however I still get requests from blank profiles, no pic, no information on their profileand have not been certificated it is extremely annoying , on occasions have sent a message to try and get some dialogue , if they don't reply I decline the friend invite , I decline the friend invite, if they send another friend invite without messaging first i decline and if they continue I block them , I always attempt to keep in touch with people I have friended , for instance if I see them on here or I get a message saying they have added pics or updated their profile I normally send a message saying Hello , however due to time differences and the fact I work shifts sometimes makes matters more complicated
