Well all you decent men need to move to Scotland.........

I don't think Flirtbox is a social networking site as such. Social networking sites are usually full of people that are bored and just want to kill some time online and fool around (myspace etc..) - whereas on Flirtbox most people want to meet up with real people offline and do some stuff.

And yet alot of people on these forums feel its the opposite?

I think you are right - no one can quantify 'what works where' - after all, anything works as long as works, regardless where, eh?
I have a friend who swears that THE only place to meet a woman is in the supermarket - simply cuz that's where he met all 3 of his wives!
(and he ridicules dating websites tho he's never used one.....)

At least you got as far as meeting them. Which is more than can be said for most.

Fair play to you. You had the bottle to go beyond the monitor. On Flirtbook thats relatively rare.

I think of the site as being a social networking site based on dating.
Don't know why people are saying it's one or the other.
As for the notion going that you don't meet up with people on social networking sites, that doesn't follow!
I've met dozens of people through facebook and gumtree!
The event functionality on facebook is specifically for meeting up with people!
I haven't met anyone off this site yet!
I still come here though as these forums can be hilarious some times!

Blimey! Give that woman a hug...
I wouldn't worry about those guys you met RG.
Two people liking each other is such a random thing, you can't expect someone else to be into you, when you are into them. Get back into meeting people, but don't have expectations. If you come across as needy or as having expectations, you'll send 'em running! Just concentrate on having fun!
