Well if you put your location in your profile, it would help people know if they wanted to meet up or not
Welcome
At first I spent hours sat on my own freezing my arse off and driving miles for nowt with only the radio for company. I thought it was impossible, but with loads of patience and much politeness I progressed.
Even now over a year later I sometimes misread signals. Be aware that being polite will mean you miss out on occasions to more pushier people (I'm recollecting one particular morning at 2am when it was minus one degree and I got jostled six inches out of reach of a particularly fine woman who I have never yet had the pleasure of having fun with), but by being polite and chatting (some nights chatting is all you get, but we can have a good laugh and go away happy at having shared good company), you gain the respect and trust of couples, which I think is more important and has lead to some splendid nights.
Get involved in posts on here, there are some people I almost chat to on here through the forums even though I have never met them, its great fun.
