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've told those that I really like that I like them for one reason or another. I have more friends now than I did before I told them

I couldn't agree more. You cant live your life in your comfort zone the whole time, that wouldnt truly be living in my opinion |

But would you message someone even though they’ve hurt your feelings? Is today ‘clear the air’ day? |

"I'll message but in a not sexual way, more an "I really love your posts and think you're an awesome human (but I don't want to have sex with you)" way. Is that allowed? "
Yes !!
It’s not just sexual ... gosh did I make it sound purely sexual ??

If someone has hurt your feeling and you've been dwelling on it, definitely clear the air sooner rather than later. |

This thread just isn’t me, I’m a wear my heart on my sleeve type of guy which often gets me into awkward situations but people know exactly what I think of them.
I’m becoming quite attached to the op’s posting so thought I’d leave this comment to let her know |

No .... but I’m great at building the humour wall aren’t I ??
People have a perception of me - due to my acerbic manner on occasions, they don’t know I’m actually ok
Life is funny - one mail can make you think |

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 |

Most women don’t actually get hundreds of mails ....
this isn’t about getting a generic mail , this is about expressing yourself to a person |

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 |

I’ve been brave before - they weren’t interested but at least I knew
I’ve been very good at avoiding all kinds of attachment , self preservation, but in doing so I’ve actually lost a bit of myself - the caring person.
Maybe you won’t today - but at some point you may |

I'm entirely shy to begin with, however over the last few months I've noticed that my comfort zone is becoming smaller and smaller to the point where I'm becoming quite reclusive, other than for work, shipping etc I dont really leave my apartment and it's not healthy, so I've bit the bullet and posted a social coffee meet for today, gotta start somewhere right?
As for you floro, I think you're pretty cool, your posts and comments are entertaining, and this ones super great |

I’ve been brave and done it whilst being polite too, I don’t see the point of sending of sending a message of what you might do to them, my point is that it’s very difficult to get noticed especially locally I don’t know if this is unique to my area but I’ve tried and now I don’t tend to anymore |

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’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 |

There is literally nobody close to me that I would send a nice message to. I got really d*unk last night and sent a girl (not on here) a lot of lovey dovey messages!
I've woke up and read them and had a wee cringe but we're both laughing about it now thankfully. |

Complications ??
With what you’ve just said ... can an old woman give you some advice?
If she makes your heart skip a beat - tell her - sober |

Complications is an ex boyfriend of hers on the scene, messing with her head and a couple of recent bereavements shes had to deal with.
Yeah I've told her sober too. She knows exactly how I feel. She is interested but her head isnt in the best place just now. |

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. |

I really do like her. She knows that but too many complications. If I thought I had a chance with her, I'd be off this site and pursuing her and her only.x
Complications ??
With what you’ve just said ... can an old woman give you some advice?
If she makes your heart skip a beat - tell her - sober
Complications is an ex boyfriend of hers on the scene, messing with her head and a couple of recent bereavements shes had to deal with.
Yeah I've told her sober too. She knows exactly how I feel. She is interested but her head isnt in the best place just now. "
Ahh I see
She knows
This is a different side to you , I like this |

"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 |

I lost my eldest son (17 years old) last May and I was in a very dark place till I met this girl. She pulled me out of the dark hole I was in. We've chatted non stop for months now. I think the world of her and like I say, she does know that and if it wasnt for this ex boyfriend and her own recent losses, we would probably have hit off properly by now. |

"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 often get first messages from women. 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. |

I have a few people that I speak to who know that I have a crush on them in a friendly way. They indulge me which is nice. I guess as I know it will never be more it makes it easier. |

I’m still recovering from falling for a very dear friend in the real world a while back. I ended up telling her.
There is someone on here I might need to message at some point soon though . |

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.

Is it the spring and love in the air Floro, that made you take the mask off and now another pic change , or does he/she have a name?

"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 |

It's how I got chatting to a few fab friends. Just messaged them cold saying what I liked about them. I think openness and vulnerability are very attractive traits.

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.

I keep going back to your profile just for a read , it's not long , it's not long enough , feels just like a start of a story .

If you were anywhere near me I would be asking you out for lunch , preferably 12 to 15 courses not 3 just got a bit of extra time for more of your story.
But you're not , so a full version of your profile pic in public folder would do for now.
