Would it be a total faux pas to do this on mn?

We don't hug and we don't hun, right? I think I've got that, spesh from the nm vs mn debate.
But there are a couple of posters in the last few days that I've noticed and I've thought- bloody good point and I like the sound of you.

Do we pm each other and strike up friendships? Or is that way too weird and stalkery and I should without doubt desist?

I posted on the first page of this thread, but been thinking about it all day,and have come back to add my new thought only to find that you're all BFFs. Feel very left our and hurt Sad (if only there was an emoticon with a sad, lonely, friendless single tear, to pluck the heartstrings of the hardest MN heart).

I was going to say, Freeble that in my experience, friendships are usually made where you least expect them. However, it now seems like you've got loads, so I'm going back to my lonely, sad, friendless hole....

Fatmomma99 · 17/08/2015 17:55

p.s. Agree Zinglette is gorgeous, as is her dress. Zing, you are a very talented mummy!

Mrsjayy · 17/08/2015 17:58

Fatmomma

we are not BFFs! we are just having fun and pulling each others legs because we recognise each other from previous threads!
(and U2, Exit & I play a game together)
come back! join us! Thanks
and I'm going to PM you because I can't stand you being sad.

(hugs fatmomma)

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 17/08/2015 18:33

(and thank you for complimentsSmile )

Fatmomma99 · 17/08/2015 18:37

Thank you Mrsjayy, DixieNormas and ZingDrama.

Your messages made me smile a lot.

I was joking - honest. Grin

I thought you were properly upset.
don't you scare me again like that!

LegoComplex · 17/08/2015 20:00

is it Worra? or Buffy..? everyone has a crush on them Smile

Fatmomma99 · 17/08/2015 20:09

sorry, Zing, I forget that a sense of humour like mine (i.e. often not as funny as I think I am) doesn't translate to the written form!

usualsuspect333 · 17/08/2015 20:10

I think it's ok to PM someone to agree with their posts or say WTF? about a thread. Online friendships often naturally develop from PM conversations.

But I would think it weird if someone PMed to say 'I like you, wanna be mates? '

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 17/08/2015 20:11

I fell for it Fatmomma
that's good kinda humour!Grin

MythicalKings · 17/08/2015 20:15

I had a lovely pm from a member a while back saying she agreed with what I was saying and we found a lot in common.

It was nice and not at all stalkery.

TheCunnyFunt · 17/08/2015 20:27

I met my closest friend through MN. I asked in The Doghouse a few years ago for advice on getting a Greyhound and she gave me lots of helpful advice. The dog I ended up getting is her dogs younger half brother :) we chatted on the Greyhound thread I set up in The DH and we ended up adding each other on Facebook, we chatted a LOT on FB, more often than not well into the early hours of the morning :o a few years on and I've been to stay with her twice (she lives a few hundred miles away from me :( ) and she came to (and witnessed) my wedding a couple of weeks ago :)

Freeble · 17/08/2015 20:46
