    One at a time. It starts with conversations on your page, and then you do private messages, you check on them when they've been sick or going through something. Next thing you know, they're doing the same for you, and you get to know them more and more. It helps when they share more of their life than just fitness, but some people never do, and you'll never know them any better.

    And then the spooning begins.
    You're the back spoon. You'll thank me.

    Sometimes people just start sending private messages. They may see something that clicks with them, and it starts a conversation and you like the conversations and you keep going.

    Its really like starting any new friendships.

    I'm always up for meeting new people and messaging with people

    Be willing to listen
    Be willing to trust
    Be willing to be vulnerable
    Be willing to be disappointed
    Be willing to laugh at yourself

    Master those and you will have virtually unlimited meaningful relationships, online and in real life.


    Love this <3

    I would think in the same way you meet ppl, outside of MFP; you get to knw one another. It's up to the individuals if they wnt to pursue a deeper relationship, outside of MFP, or not.

    I've met a gr8t circle of 'buddies' on this site. I've not yet met any "face-to-face" but I do chat on and off with some via inbox. I think the individuals determine how "close" they actually want to get.

    My mind set is if it doesn't go beyond MFP, I still have a gr8t circle of buddies who make this journey so easy :):):)

    It's been said before, but sending pictures of your boobs never hurts.


    And just like in real life, sometimes you click with people and sometimes you don't. I have exchanged great PMs with people and that was it. And others results in face to face meetups or really great online relationships.

    In the end it comes down to, you have to BE a good friend to cultivate one. Cheesy, but nonetheless true.

    Stalking sometimes works too

    Stealing this pic. Fabulous.
