I am sure this has been done several times before, but I usually miss out on these things. I am really sick of being single. So here goes…

I am a 23 year old female looking for a nice fellow to hang out with…and who can show me cool stuff around town. I moved here somewhat recently and haven’t had a chance to explore much.

So, if interested…e-mail…

Who else wants to play?

Last I remember, the ruling on “flirt” threads was kind of ambiguous. Do we have a hard-and-fast rule now?
