I just initiated a hello silly. We built a friendship together ........& chemistry.......then he asked me out. Saying hi to somebody online isn't initiating a relationship.............
Yeah, being on a dating site means it's not REALLY "friendship" anyway.
Let's not be coy. Everyone knows why you're there.
Oh OK! I have no experience with FB or social media or how that works but it sounds like it worked for you, which is all that matters!
Thanks. Yeah, maybe different things work for different people depending a lot on the relationship dynamic they want, or the one that feels comfortable to them.
I kind of wish it felt acceptable to me to chase or pursue men, because I see some I like and Im like "Damn, I wish I could just go up to that guy and ask him out."
But if I did, the relationship dynamic would just feel off to me. Like I would feel like the guy in the relationship or something.

Online dating really is different. And it is kind of silly, that some people will put on their profile that they are "only looking for friends"...like really? ONLY that? I know it's kinda code for "I'm not here to hook up and spare me your requests for nudes, and your D pics, if you please" but if anyone were ONLY looking to make friends, there are a lot of better ways to do that. We all know that it's just a way to make initial contact, but to deny the sexual/romantic/dating purpose and flavor of the whole thing is ridiculous.
I wanna be like, "Oh, you want the platonic room, that's down the hall to the left."
hehe
But that leaves us all who are doing OLD, or who have in the past, trying to sift through the fakes, and the many totally incompatible people, and the ones who want something structured very differently than what we do...all the noise. And there's a lot of noise. Unfortunately.

What kind of dating 'relationship' will it be if there isn't a developing friendship from which to begin? Else, it's simply a hookup (and OP's post is in re: online dating).

Well, look who's here.
Saying hi to somebody on a dating site isn't friendship. It's making the first move toward (what they hope will be) a dating relationship. It's a dating site, not a friendship site.

Agreed - that said, at the point of first contact/hello, one can't possibly know if they want a date yet or not. They're interested re: a photo or the profile, and they want a conversation to see if there's any potential (or if they both are looking for the same thing).
