i have noticed an increasing number of dating request threads popping up around here,perhaps we could make a dating request one like the requests one in the love forum? i know some get re directed to there but i was wondering in my infinite wisdom and boredom what if someone is genuinely looking for a date and not just a shag

just the ramblings of a poorly foxy i hope it makes sense x

pfft how cynical.

Certainly something worth thinking about but I don'tknow if it would get abused by the love request people to be honest. Mind you they don't seem to want to use the love request thread for that either

Think its a good idea. Dunno how to make stuff sticky or whatever, though.

I too have been wondering why a few 'date me' threads have been popping up. I mean it is a dating site afterall, isn't that what PM's are for. I for one would not publicly start flirting with someone, then tell all for the world to see that i want to date him. Best to keep it between yourselves in case the inevitable happens and you feel a bit of a fool. Yeah i know a bit of flirting goes on but that's mostly in jest ....... i think. If anyone 2 people are serious about wanting to meet up that should be done in private ........ just my thoughts on the subject.

I do know how to do it Baggie but lets see what the rest of the members think before we go ahead. AM makes a good point there

it wouldnt bother me if one was set up but i can see am point on the subject

Set one up.
People do want to date not only shag.

Do they?

This is primarily a 'dating' website though, hence why the 'love request' thread set up in the first place i presume, for those people, who are after on thing and didn't want to pay the usual fees for those type of websites.

It just seems a little silly to set a dating thread on a dating website, i mean the clue is the title afterall ........

Yeah what's all that about?

I don't think it matters either way, because if it's set up only those who want to use it and post there will use it, and if not, then it's no difference to where we are now.

There are plenty of threads and topics for people to post on and maybe flirt a bit etc, maybe would be best to encourage new members to use PMs if they want to try and take it further instead of tinkering with the site when it works fine already.
It is unfortunate that a small minority of people 'get it wrong' but they seem to either try and 'get it right', or not bother.
Oh of course there are always the completely inappropriate posts, but hey, thats what the lovely mods are there for, right?!
