I treat everyone with whom I correspond with as a friend, I seek friends as I know there are possibilities that friends may become something more, I keep an open mind.I understand others maybe like me, a word which may be used is wary, about online dating, I accept this and take what comes.I will always if it comes to meeting, meet as friends as friends are best thing one can have.I hold no intention of angling a meeting into getting another into the sack, this is just not me.Perhaps I am old fashioned, I believe in courtship and I hold ultimate respect for another and their wishes. I have a lot of friends, 90% of them are female, of a similar age, friends we are and will be, if anything moves beyond that, then that is the way of things and I accept it, I allow nature to take it's course, as we are all creatures of nature.I used to hold ideals of what I wanted in a prospective partner, size, age, appearance, things based on vanity, my own.Now, I recognise the person within the shell, I allow my feelings to rule not my ideals. I am online for interest, and I will say dating I suppose, else I would not contact those of the fairer sex, but what I do, I do with all honesty each and every time.If I come across a player, I do know, I trust my feelings and my feelings tell me something is wrong, what a website says I ignore.I seek true people not fakes and so far my feelings have shown 'red flags' which I have noticed and acted on, either by cutting contact or being tardy in it.Those who are not players or fakes do get a reply within a day or two. On here, I always click the button which says' forum posts' as I believe genuine people will probably be there posting, that way one can get a good idea of the person. (something I do like about another site I am a member of, IC to those that know it, is the network function, those on the network have the option to say whether they know the person offline or on,this way, one can suppose use as a reference system.I know there is a positive experience forum here, but does everyone use it, is it prominent enough)
