Hi Deneb.
You are remarkably intelligent - especially where it counts.
> I like Babble. I can practice being a friend here.
That is one hell of a smart thing to say.
I don't know you well enough to be able to form an impression as to what kind of friend you would be. Perhaps you really don't need any more practice than the rest of us. I think the smart ones are dedicated to learning ways to enhance their relationships with others, regardless of age.
From my perspective, I would not be looking for friends on a dating website. If a match doesn't work for romance, then move on to another without feeling obligated to further communication with those whom you are no longer interested in. Some people are not mature or emotionally stable enough to take rejection well. These people may attack you and say some very mean and untrue things. You must commit yourself to not pay any attention to them. They are trying to hurt you. These are acts of vengeance rather than acts of truthfulness. They are most certainly unkind and unnecessary.
