I'm now just getting randoms add me and offer to take me out for clubbing and drinks etc. Now I've possibly lived in London for too long and am very suspicious of everyone but are these people mad or just being realllllllllllly friendly, and they seem to pounce once they know I am single and don't know anyone. Guys in particular (and a few girls) appear to be offering to take me out clubbing, all paid for - now in London I would say that means they expect something in return (which I have pulled them up on and they have denied) and I'm not the sort to lead a guy on so I'm just trying to work out whether they mean it when they say they just wanna take me out or are they secretly into some sort of female trafficing and I'm going to end up in some 3rd world country being used as a sexslave? How safe is it for women out there- I knwo over here I won't accept a drink in case its been spiked!

Obviously in London noone talks to anyone so this is all a bit unheard of for me- but I hesitant to want to let my guard completely down but don't want to alienate myself and seem liek some sort of up her own arse type- just how friendly are you all out there? or are these people just downright weird and I should run away very fast?

might be the lingerie designer thing that makes them come...

but anyway...you're not an 18 year old that's never been out are you...so just use your brains and common sense...
you've put up that you are single and you don't know anyone, so that's honey for the bees...

There are weirdos anywhere, but there are plenty of good people around.

also...it's just Facebook...not accepting 'friends' is not going to alinate you from anything...
I am sure there are guys on there that do nothing else all day than adding random people/woman...personally, I ignore them all, won't even send a message, just delete straight away.

I don't doubt it. I used to have a profile photo of a camel and was never bothered. Changed it to one of me and I get several friend requests like that every week.

I wonder what their success rate is?

Nah all bs aside, I didn't invite you, I get requests from strangers once in a while as well, but same as hyves (you know that MH?), the only people in my list are persons I actually met in person and preferably like.

just that I did have a Dutch guy wanting to add me a few weeks ago, he used to live in AD and was coming back...didn't accept him of course, lol
yeah, I've heard of it...

I don't really do anything on Facebook to be honest, can't be bothered...
