After a brief review of your posting history, I offer the following suggestions. If you can, get more involved with the TMF in general. Start threads on things you find interesting, funny or perplexing. If you find a thread of interest to you, comment on it.
I did meet a very good friend here via the personal forum, but that has been the exception rather then the rule in my experience.
Most ladies here are open to a respectful private message also. I have made numerous friends that way. If you show a genuine intrest intrest in getting to know the lovely ladies here, I have no doubt you will be rewarded. You seem like a nice guy. Good luck. 😀
