Good lord, trying to come up with a clever first post is hard!
Nothing like being honest! Some days the thoughts just come tumbling out and you just can't wait to get them out there. Other days you just keep scratching your head and nothing pops up. We’re all like that, just go with the flow!
Hi, Melissa, and welcome to the website!
This website has a bit of a learning curve, so this info might help.
If you answer the profile questions and write your profile, you'll earn website points, and members can get to know you. Commenting on posts and writing your own earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.
The website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.
In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
