Ahem!.......Getting Back on topic
Glass - what worked for me was to basically say to someone in the chat room who looked like a regular (and who I just incidentally quite liked the look of) "I'm new here - how does this all work, what are the rules - written and unwritten" and from there a conversation was struck up - and other people got involved and before I knew it I felt like I'd been here for ages - it really was that simple. Of course praps it helps that I'm a gobshite who loves to banter.
People will be only too happy to talk to someone who makes an effort to be part of the fun rather than a square peg.
also I'd say talk to everyone who sounds like fun even other blokes - we won't think yer a poof (unless you are one of course in which case we wont care - sorry didn't read yer profile) - don't just speak to those peeps woth profiles that suit you - or lurk without saying anything till a couple or lady comes in and then pounce on them.
Firstly that what everyone tries, puts the recipient under immediate pressure, and secondly if people see your a sociable person - they'll want to be sociable with you - in other words don't try too hard and people will come to you.
Hope to see you in there mate - do say hi - gimme a nudge if I'm in full flow and miss it
), I have a question for all you regular posters. It seems that the chatroom is more social, were people meet up and exchange all the gossip and tips, but its also where they don't like to be disturbed either; talking to friends means they don't like randoms butting in. On the other hand the bulletin boards are for the big events like MK, and the established groups organising their stuff. So... should a single guy hang around the boards until he sees a couple or a meet open to newbies/single guys, or should he wait in the chatroom and risk the Dreadful Wrath of The Mods 
?
i would hope that we are not the enemy actually. talk to us- you may be surprised
