@maho, everyone takes it differently. with the circumstances, ya understand
But see that's the whole point. If you understand the context they are asking you on, then it's usually okay right? But since everyone views it differently and often doesn't say the context in which they are asking, it's tough to know what your getting into, and thus, hard to form an answer.
Like in my case, I'd think it would be neat if I met a user who I had some real feelings for even if nothing happens in the long run, cuz then I could leave love notes about them and all that.
Sorta like Haro does.
But truthfully, the odds of that prolly aren't very good really.
So I'd be okay with a more soft paring like, "this user is mine and we have a mutual bond of very strong friendship" or something. You know, like, this user is favored above the others. I mean, under that context, I'd be more likely to say yes, even if it was only until the real deal came along.. if it did at all.
But since each user reads it differently, and your rarely told, you don't know if they are saying "I actually do want to write you love letters" or "I favor you" or even "your one of the users on F! I like the most, I need you for my collection."
And even if you know what they are saying, sometimes the other users might think it's more serious. So in a nutshell, it's not unified and it confusing.
All I really know is when two users use that thread to pair off, congrats are in order and I'll prolly see them together more.
