Friendship Offers - What do they mean to you?

[JoiceJoker]

Is a friendship offer a dead end?
Do you consider a friendship offer an advancement towards a romantic relationship?

Tell me what you think (because I'm lost!)

On this site, it seems to mean you'd be interested in talking more with the other person.

Out in society, it can mean the same thing, it can mean Just Friends, which is platonic, or it can mean they'd like to poooossibly see if there is romantic interest. Depends on the context.

I believe in friendship first - get to know someone. If things click, then we'll have romance. Nothing clicks? We will be friends.

On this site I talked with somebody over the phone - never met them face-to-face - and they were hinting about flying to Vegas, waiting for me to offer them to stay with me. Repeatedly in the conversations,I was ignored and he kept reverting back to how much he wants sex. I am not that kind of person. He failed to even listen to me when I spoke, so there's not even any friendship. He's an outright pig and I understand why he's divorced.

I have found that men don't want to be friends. They want to meet you and immediately have sex. I have decided if that's all life has to offer, I choose to remain single versus compromising my morals, values and standards.

Hey, do you ladies want to be friends with me?

No hidden meanings. Just friends. Benefits are nice too but not a requirement

[jm0405]

Ok, Dadood, you made me laugh and you made me read your profile. As it is, I am ALMOST (12 yrs older than you ) old enough to be your mama so, not I will not date you. :

dadood,
you're a blank sheet.
Friends? Why not?

And don't get the wrong idea. I like your meaningful postings!

[dadood]

JM, age is just a number (have no idea what that means). But I already have a momma so can you be my "sugar" momma instead?

Joice, what do you mean by a blank sheet? Nothing there or full of possibilities?

And don't think of me as just meaningful posts? Behind these posts is a man... a sexual being. I mean it's ok to objectify me. I'm not all brain and heart

[JoiceJoker]

dadood,
I can't help it but to fill your blue presence with my imagination.
Since I develop role-play games (one at the moment) you'll probably figure, that it isn't very hard for me to label you up with loads of fantasy stuff.

I'm unable to tell if you consist of more than a brain and a heart. (but it's undeniably alluring to find out what else it is that you claim to have)

So, if you don't want me to project my ideas into your character (which includes a face), you'll have to put a picture on that blank profile of yours. That way I have at least a visual to go by.

[dadood]

Joice, you need to stop dreaming about me without any clothes on I'm getting a chill over here. At least make your fantasies short. If you draw out your fantasies about me for too long time, I might catch a cold or something without my clothes.

If you need help fantasizing and visualizing me, go read a couple of Harlequin love novels. They usually do a good job describing me

[JoiceJoker]

I just gave someone else a recipe for a self made antibiotic. If you catch a cold I'm confident, that I can help you. In the meantime, you'll have to put up with my wild imagination!
ooor ........ let me see your face, dadood.*lash*

[dadood]

You have to keep your fantasies and imaginations under control before they consume you. Like a bonfire on a cold night, you can get close to feel the warmth... just not too close or you'll get burned

[JoiceJoker]

All it takes is an image to save me.................(from being burned)

Friendship offers are great. It pretty much means that my circle of friends expands a little more. I have friends from all over the United States, being I'm in the military and I meet a lot of people.
At that, if a friendship develops into a relationship with, say, the right person, then I'll do everything I can to keep the other person in said relationship happy. I'm happy when my significant other is happy, and I'm sad when they are. That's the type of personality that I have, if you don't like it then you don't have to talk to - or even like - me.
Once again, friendship requests mean a lot to me because of the fact that you can't ever have too many friends. The only thing you have that doesn't change is your family, which is forever.
My dad, when I was growing up, used to say at the dinner table, 'Look around. This is your family. Friends may come and go, but family is forever." I love my family with all my heart, mind, strength, and soul. I care about my friends with all my heart, mind, strength, and soul. That is one thing that will NEVER change about me.

i alway feel great when i get an offer, it show that good and been like.

I would give a stranger a free ride if they are going in the same direction.
For a friend, I will inconvenience myself to go out of the way to help them.
It is more about what you are ready to give than expect to get.
