You could be right..... the guys are growing up and settling down just as the girls realise they never actually needed them after all.... 😀😀😀😀

Under the universal law of attraction, the more you look for something, the harder it is to find. So it is said that it is best to live life like you already have romance in it as you attract more of what you already have. As Oscar Wilde put it 'to love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance' 🙂 For me the best romance is with life itself.... to let life flow, have loads of fun & see what happens... Life is one big drama of an adventure with a whole lot of great folk taking part 🙂

p.s. very lol! Sarah - think us ladies have finally cottoned on 🙂🙂🙂

Sarah, how could you !!!!! 😋

😀😀😀

You must have read my mind site admin, Outdoor friendships seems like a cop out to me for SOME people to avoid attention. Sarah that's a shocking comment.

Interesting JW19. Cop out? What do you mean (TC: outdoor friendships only 😉)

"SOME" people.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say yes, I am looking for romance thats the reason I joined this site and because it bonds me to what I enjoy most the great outdoors.🙂 So far the ladies that I have met have been great, very kind and understanding and a good fun to be with and look forward meeting some of them again soon and not forgetting those I've still yet to meet.🙂
Oh and Sarah that comment you made thats not going to get you anywhere with the guys is it..😋 lol...🙂😀😀

This sight is great as it caters for everyone,whether it be friendship or dating.Each to there own,as long as you are honest with your intentions no one gets hurt and everyone has a nice time.There are good and bad men and women 🙂

I think you'll find a man's definition of 'romance' different to a woman's - they think its a three letter word!

Well said Ally, nice and clear with no sexist comments, like it.🙂

I receive adverts from "Rori Raye" telling me how to catch my my man [does this mean that I should indicate the size of the one that got away???] but the essence of the adverts are that unless you like yourself and are confident in your own skin you will never really find the right relationship. Seemed like pretty good advice

My skin looks too old - can I change it??? 🙂

Oh Milvus that's harsh..... 😋

Milvus, that comment is as bad as Sarah's...😋 lol.🙂 Not all of us guys think of the 3 letter word, some of us are after the 4 letter word.🙂

Ha ha ha

Bimble, your mind is as bad as mine, he may have meant 'Love'

Haha Bimble and Madmag 😀

You girls are bad..😋 but 'Love' is the word I was refering to.🙂

Are the girls being mean and teasing you AR and you being such a gent 😀

Nice one AR, "Tar and Brush" spring to mind.:~

They certainly are MD🙂 maybe you teach them some manners.😋

Thanks jw19🙂

AR would that be 'cake' rather than 'tea'.....😋😋😀

Lol BG...😀😀

I'd like to meet a man who knows words with more than four letters in - if they can do multi-syllabic words that would be even better😀

Be careful girls what those boys offer you while out on a walk, I'm worried I may have tarnished my reputation, I had the four and three letter word with AD last week
(cake and tea) 😀

Crikey. Guys, I thought the 4 laughy faces at the end of my comment would convey the spirit of light hearted banter in which the remark was made! Sorry for any offence :~
Of course there are lots of good men out there and I would love to find a special one (though I've clearly blown my chances with you lot 😀), but I do think that friendship is an excellent basis for romance, and never wasted even if the romance doesn't happen 🙂

Site Admin we're all looking for romance (if we haven't already found it) but it isn't the only thing we have to offer. Maybe we're just more romantic and believe we'll get there in the end so it doesn't have to be rushed.

Lol minty, are you saying my cooking needs practice? who have you been talking to? 😀😀😀😀

What are you practising Minty - romance or cooking?!!! 😈😈:~

I like my eggs unfertilised 🙂🙂

Cheers Minty that's brill !!! can't wait for the next YHA gathering, I'm sure a few of us 'll chip in & bring the bacon if you're cooking !! 😀😀😀

Minty I Think you'd better perfect the Duvet Cover before you venture into the cooking!!😀😀

jw still lmfao at the thought of it...... the picture didn't do justice to the epic battle that surrounded it... can't believe he had any bloody energy left to snore !!!

Some great comments 🙂

All interesting wot every one says.
Wot is the thing that is thete for every one.
Joining this site you can get best off all.
Out haven fun meating new friends and never nises
may cum across the soul mate..
😀

😀😀 BG 😀😀

Oh no Minty now the blokes are bullying you 😀

No we're not MD....... we love you Minty you're a top chappy and I know we're going to have a jolly day if your names on the list ..... tho' to be fair, not sure I want to try sleeping with you again !!

Mmmmmmm say no more BG - no really say no more!! :~😋😈😈

Hi Claudette,I think we should be asking who is going to share with Minty on our Hadrian Wall week, we may need ear plugs 😀

I like others joined the site as friendship only because I wanted something with friends that doesn't come complicated. I have seen some lovely romances on the site, that are great while they last but one or the other leaves when it doesn't work out. Do you take the risk if that special someone comes along on the site and risk a good friend?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

😀😀 I would have done Minty if it Hadn't been for the snoring !!!😋

I would take the gamble too,if you find someone you click with give it a go.Life's short.You may lose the friendship if it doesn't work but that gamble is worth it if you meet that great person.🙂

And you don't necessarily have to lose the friendship even if the romance doesn't work out - true friendship will last if it's worth keeping 🙂🙂

I now follow my gut reaction, if it doesn't feel right I don't go there. May seem a little harsh but after past failed relationships I have learnt to know what I don't want.
Suggest you should just keep enjoying whatever life has to offer, you never know what the wind may blow your way 🙂

That'll be the beans & beer MD 😋😋

Sarah, I'm surprised you're still having anything to do with us after your 'gentle introduction' to OD outings !!😉😉

Working on the principle that nothing else you throw at me can ever be that bad again......😀😀😀

Could be too many galaxy bars BG 😀
I know what you mean Sarah I went on a walk a couple of weeks ago to Devils Kitchen, Hadrian's wall will be like a walk in the park after that 😀😀

I'm sure we can come up with something Sarah!!! Nah, usually curry or beans MD :~:~

I'm sure you can BG! Shame I'll miss Sharp Edge but looking forward to sleepwalking instead. Have a great weekend!
MD you're right, the Wall will be a nice relaxing stroll each day, with Minty on hand to massage our aching feet each evening 🙂🙂😀

Who's looking for a romantic, windy partner I think.

if i met someone on here and it did not work out then i am safe in the knowledge that i probably have not lost a friend. As long as i'm not treated badly or taken the pee out of then i can quite happily group socialise with an ex and his new partner
