1. ROFL , Hi youngdem! sorry to crack up at that but do you really think
it would stay in bounds of civil/appropriate behavior?

:rofl:

It has been brought up before though.

2. There are zillions of dating and relationship advice sites on the 'net.
Do we actually need DU to be another one?

Plus Coloradodem2005 would have scared everyone off by posting motherfucking Eagles lyrics.

7. It was just a thought and here is why...
I have always been a fairly shy person. I do not frequent any other sites but Du. I do not reply often but always read about what is going on with everything and everyone. I have cried, laughed and become angered with what is going on with the world. I guess it was a stupid thought, I just thought that maybe people (like me) would feel more comfortable talking to like minded intelligent people, and not some fly by night wacko that could be posting advice on the internet. Sometimes people want advice but are to afraid to ask and to afraid to look.

Maybe I need to get out on the net more. Thank you for putting this into perspective.

8. No prob.
There are dating sites that cater solely to left-wingers, though. Don't have any urls handy (not into that whole thing, myself) but someone around here surely knows 'em.

And plus, if you seek dating advice HERE, you might get steered way wrong by some batshit insane chemtrails lunatic.

5. Because getting advice from 70,000 people you don't know ...
... isn't a real smart idea.

12. You don't need advice.
Just treat members of the opposite sex like they are human beings with feelings and you will do just fine.

19. Not to date, I know how to do that, just general advice,
Like when a problem arises. Maybe I should have just asked for an advice group that might have something to do with relationships?

Now that you've got our attention,
you might as well tell us about it.
