i need a recipe of making.. yummy, delicious, great tasting "FRIENDS"

hi allll

i was wondering how can i actually make friends on CC

whoever i add and send messege.. no replies back...

sooooooooooooo shd i post a lot of topics so that ppl may know me or i hv to give a lot of replies in their posts so that they notice me

any helpfull recipies?

I'd like to find that recipe as well! I've made several friends and corresponded several times. I still have not heard from several of them, I have since then moved on. I guess you could try to participate in the daily chat or post/reply on topics that you know about. Ehh, sorry I'm not so helpful! :)  Cute title, btw!

  thx for replying...

the only few u made... how did u do that?

did u reply to their posts or just added them and sent pvt messeges etc?

how do u correspond with them.. on posts??? or personally or msn yahoo etc?

participate!

Join groups in addition to using the chat forums and make comments in the threads. You'll find some people that make you think "Yes! I agree!" or "Oh! Why didn't I think of that!" or better still "I would love some of his/her attitude!".

You can also read their public journals and start up a conversation by responding to what they say. Don't use your response on their journal to just talk about you. Respond to what they are talking about. For stuff about you, groups and forums is the place to be.

Lots of people join on line communities, but for any one of a hundred reasons, simply stop. So don't take their absence personally. Some are still there, just not comfortable having one-dimensional friends!

Have fun out there, and you'll make friends!

Sending cash helps.

In all seriousness, respond to threads that interest you.  Chances are you'll be posting alongside others with similar interests, and over time, friendships will develop naturally.

 ditto that  :)

...also, write a little something about yourself on your profile page so that you give people a chance to feel you up out.  Before I add someone, I kinda like to know a little bit about them...

ya know.. do we have anything common? 

Start posting new threads and/or adding your comments to other people's threads.  like jannid said... you'll start finding other members that you think you might have something in common.... and vice versa.... they'll find YOU  :)

maybe write a few journal entries about your day (it doesn't have to be anything personal)  maybe write about something funny that's happened or how peeved you were when "such-n-such" happened to you.

G-luck  :)

I made friends by journaling and adding buddies.  I then read their journals and responded.  :)

hmmmmmmmm

all recipies seem yummy

im actually trying some of them

my problem is that i dont actually use net that much...(my son always wants to play with the pc when its on) lolll

thats why im replying so late in my own thread...

what can i do...

Just a word of advice...use proper spelling and grammar. We all make typos, sure, but the use of "u" instead of "you" or "shd" instead of "should" and stuff like that is really irritating to lots of people. Like me. If I received a message with a lot of that in it, I doubt I'd respond. If you can't take the time to spell out your words, I won't take the time to respond.

it took me months of feelling just as you are...then one day...there they were, people that I really consider friends.

admit it...you all LOVE me :D

 this! text speak drives me nuts, even when it's in a text! i've made some of my closest friends on this site, and met some of them in real life.

honestly, if i received a message from someone full of text-speak, i'd ignore it.

This came up on another thread, and I agree whole-heartedly.

Also, I add friends because I want to be able to find them quickly so I can see recent posts or find an older post. It isn't a popularity contest. I do find it a little odd when someone who I haven't even interacted with on a thread adds me as a friend, and I usually won't reciprocate til I know more about them.

Good grammar/spelling and... cookies win friends here. Text speak drives me, and several (99% of us) insane.
