AsnLvr Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Are you really looking to just meet new friends or are you Possibly looking for something a little more? It's nice to have sites as this one where you can meet friends from different cultures, parts of the world and from all walks of life, but sometimes it can be a little frustrating. We've all seen the "Something Friendly" and "Would like to meet new friends" right? Then why is it that when you send a person a message and present yourself in a nice manner, that you don't get a response back??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Well if you're asking guys and gals to be honest about presenting their true intentions when it comes to friendship and romance, I think you might not have much luck! LOL I think we've played those sorts of games since before Homo sapiens came on the scene. But I think people in general have become a little more callous in the modern world... and it's so easy to be callous online.... --Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsnLvr Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 You have a good point there Ling and I understand exactly what you're saying as far as stating your true intention. Could make for a barage of all sorts of things, but to me if someone puts want to make new friends, that's a clear and up front warning, that's all that's wanted. So why not return the message and make a new friend? Thanks for your opion. (Asn)Asian (Lvr)Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyboy112003 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hello AsnLvr, You make a good point and it's complex as well i think. All of the ladies i have dated in my life were friends first as i require it. This site, i believe, is compared most likely with other sites for dating (some people here have that exclusive perpose i'm sure!). As i am a single guy, i am of course open to getting to know a lady a little better than a friend, but that's not my purpose here. I'm still trying to understand this place better. What i would like to happen is that when i go to Thailand i will have had enough contact with the people on here so that some will be my friends and i can see them in Thailand (wow, what a sentence!) I haven't really messaged too many people here yet, but the ones i have got back to me. Like athaigirl said-it's going to take time for people to get to know you. p.s. I'm not Asian and i'm not in Thailand, but you can message me anytime you like. bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Well, I'm here just looking for friends of either sex, to chat with online sometimes or to see when I'm in BKK. I'd be happy to meet up with anyone I've made friends with here. But I'm not looking for dates, unless you call meeting a friend of the opposite sex a date even if it's just friendly, and I'm not looking for a relationship. I already have someone in BKK, I don't need someone else for when I'm not in BKK, and I'm happy with that. (Well, not quite, because I'm not in BKK enough right now... but am planning on changing that soon.) So AsnLvr if you want to meet up for a beer in Dec. I'd be happy to. --Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucatini70 Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I love this site it the only site where i found a degree of honesty and really nice people to talk to and if something more happened great if not that's alright you have a friend. I like the direction this site goes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t847 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Yup - I think thats the idea of this web site but I suppose a few lack that essence. Look at it this way AsnLvr - may be the people who don't reply aren't meant to be and the ones who do are meant to be. T847 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsnLvr Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 T847, Im not looking for anyone that's meant to be here. I just like meeting new friends and chatting. So when someone else puts that they would like to meet new friends also, that all that I think of it as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 As for me, i'm just on here to chat and meet new friends with people (male or female) from all over the world . I'm not on the look out for a relationship just yet.. since i have better things to do. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikk Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 AsnLvr, i know what you mean, i guess they are just a little too picky don't think to much of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_hudson Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 At the end of the day. Were struggling to maitain civility and politeness toward one and other.. What surprises me is if i get a reply back these days.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Agree that it is a bit boring when people don`t reply AsnLvr.. I think there is many reasons.. One is that some people make a profil and then don`t come back. I think profiles that not have been active for a few weeks should be put to sleep! It is boring to browse when most of the profiles are inactive.. I talked about the same thing in my testemonials Post.. For me it is a sign of respect for other people to reply.. It is better to get a negative reply than silence.. And really it takes about 2 sec. to reply.. But of course, silece is very effective, you always get the message after a while.. My problem is all the mails I receive from all your sexy ladies.. Be patient, I can only reply 4 a day! *S* Tommy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indman Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 When it comes down to it people don't make friends with just anybody. Whenever someone meets new people for the first time a screening proscess takes place whether conciously or subconciously. We're all judging the other person (whether that's right or not is open to debate) I'm sure when you get a message from soneone from TF you'll immediately go to that person's page after reading that message instead of replying straight away. Its just a way of figureing out how you'd respond (or not respond at all) and with some members also receiving rudiculous amounts of messages a day, replying to everyone of them becomes tedious when you've only got a 1 hour break in a net cafe and better things to do with it.

steve4x4s Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 well there is a possible solution comming. talked to admin and he is reviewing " CHAT " services. i think this will help cause there will be people talking live and there will be people reading along. but both will get to know people first hand. Hopefully there will be rooms similar to the threads here. Moderated rooms are better to avoid some of the things ive seen in chat before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S123arpedon Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Always nice to get a message back if you send one first but more often than now it gets ignored. I always send a message back, it doesnt matter who sent it. Just being polite!! A chat room would be very wlecome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphrodite Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yeah I am since Im not interested in looking for "something romantic" here. Same as many of us who are actually "in a relationship" would just be looking for some new friends here. I do believe that TF has brought variety type of ppl from all around the world from many different aspect and background. Well I've met many many good friends here. I dont know what reason u are here is cos ppl are different in many ways. I just wanna be here to share my opinion, ask for some help and have a good time with new ppl :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaisabai Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Always nice to get a message back if you send one first but more often than now it gets ignored. I always send a message back, it doesnt matter who sent it. Just being polite!! A chat room would be very wlecome. seem that to ignore a message means... buzz off.. im not interested?! does that imply that that person is looking? i mean really... if someone is sending u some dumb messages u dont want to receive..u can always block that person. i think its rude not to reply a message and yes..i reply all messages... even spam!! (lots of ppl on my blocklist) :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubkordaikrab Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 all this posting and no one could tell the truth after all. Of course people looking for more then friends right! I mean friends does need to vote on a bloody photo and be TO HOT!!! heheh come a bloody long! This site is a dating service and so be it and sure some come and make friends and learn english or what ever but then they already have a boyfriend hanging around some were. I think the best thing i read this week was the girl thats having a party this month for her 60 year old lover (read sponsor) she is 20 something. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OIC Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I really am looking for "something friendly" here no matter how its gonna be or will lead me to any ways as long as it seems to be friendly I will take it and take a chance. I dont expect to have company or lover from here (or any sooner) but I also dont mind if I find someone and our friendships will go forward or develop to be "something romantic" or "someone special",just need to take times to know each other gradually. So far so good Ive got a bounch of new friends from here and they are really cool :wink: . Cheers. PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANGtaffy Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 s-h-it, i didn't even realize this place was a frikkin dating kinda service place till my 2nd day here. my bad! oh well...i ain't here to make friends or anything. i'm not looking for a relationship either. basically, i think from the way i am, people would wannt to be my online enemies instead. so who'd bother to meet up in real life? for me, i'm not gonna waste my time. payCe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
