As soon as you said I could always use an extra friend, she heard extra girlfriend. If you met her on a dating site, then she is going to hear dating extra friend adding girl in front of the friend. Sometimes women have selective hearing. I hoe you are able to tell her that you hope she didn't think you were looking for anything more then just a friend, period...Let us know how this all turns out. I hope it turns out good for your sake. Hugs GB

There is a difference of being on a dating site while looking for a relationship and looking for friends. How is someone supposed to met others to talk too? I see no problem of making it clear that you are looking for true friends. I dont think you did anything bad. Its on her shoes if she takes it wrong.

I met someone on a dating site and she pursued me and I went along to become nice friends today...I did tell her that I did not want to be romantic with her and that I thought she was horny as hell...LOL But we are great friends now.....she is someone I enjoy having as a friend too....just cannot see me in relationship with her because she is overtly unattractive to me with her alopeacia and her chubbyness....

At least you are putting yourself out there and meeting new people.
This is really good and healthy and I'm proud of you. I hope she turns
out to be a good friend for you. Hugs

Hi Drew: I ask that if you truthfully want to date and are looking for a romantic relationship that definitely be on the dating sites. But if you are on there just looking for "friends," then get off there because people on there are looking to date and hopefully find the person for romance.

If you went on the dating site looking to date and find romance, and met this woman on a date and discovered she was not the one for you, then you had to be honest with her. She's on the dating site looking to date and for romance too. So then you don't give your number out to her.

If you're looking to make friends, go to "meetup.com" and get involved with the activities. But if you're looking to date, then keep trying the dating boards and watch about giving away too much personal info like your address, where you work, etc., Good luck.

sounds like you really need meetup.com as well

I'm in 2 different meetup groups. I want to date as well. I want to make friends. If someone is open to a friendship then I will be their friend. I will find out what they are really like and that will determine if I stay friends with them.
