YT Friends?? So many of you on YT seem to be friends and I was wondering...how did you get to be so friendly. I have been on this site for over a year and it is very sad to see no PM's each time I log on. I post quite a few threads, participate in the ge's, but do not seem to make any real connection with anyone. Any advce. I know this sounds kinda lame, but I really like browsing the YT site and would love the be friendlier with other yorkie/dog owners. ;) |
Awww, I am sorry you are feeling lonely and sad while amongst so many YT family members. I have been a member since 2004 and have met a large number of YTers in person. I think that helps tie the bonds, but even in my earlier days, it was a matter of reading posts and when I felt like I had things in common yorkie(ish) and non yorkie(ish) I would send pms and many times we would exchange phone numbers and talk the hours away. |
Hi there. Where on Long Island are you- Nassau or Suffolk? |
Hello everyone Hi me and Lexi ( my yorkie ) is new here we would like to get know everyone as well |
Awww Lee - I'm sorry I haven't been friendlier. I'll be visiting L.I a lot this summer and would love to buy you a margarita! |
You might see if there is a group for your area and ask if there is a meet up. I'm new and hoping that I will hear of one in my area. |

Lissette, you are a very sweet lady! |
Awh I don't get many pm's either. But I've met a few folks here, and chatted on the phone with a few. I think as chattie's mom said, sometimes you can pm someone yourself, share a common interest that can crop up time to time on a particular thread. Also if there are meet ups in your area, that is another good idea. |
Hi, I am sorry I have not been friendly - I am actually kind of nice most the time. You can send me a friend request and I will accept it (would send you one but I have no idea how to do so). I never get PMs either, but thats okay the ones I do get I value :) |
I don't think this is lame at all. I think we all need to feel like we belong. I am a very social person. I don't hesitate to send a PM if I have a question. Maybe you could start doing that too. Just jump right in! :) I think the more you are "heard" the more people remember you. Then as you continue to post they will know who you are and it will build from there. I may be completely wrong on this. :D But I think it is a start. By the way, your furbaby is a cutie!!! |

I agree that I also don't get a lot of PMs, the occasional random one, I'm also from an area that appears to have no other active members :( I love to chat on here, I usually spend way to much time on the forums, and I think once you really get involved in conversations you start to be recognized. I like to go on the off topic forum, there is a good group of recurring posters that I ramble on about random things, also helps to get to know people. I discovered a few people my age too. Also I asked if anyone was interested in being my pen pal (I'm learning french so I found a french canadian well actually two who were happy to help), we chat about once a month, so I can practice. But I agree that in areas where there is an option to get together in person, there is a much better bond. I'll PM you :) maybe we can keep messaging back and fourth, I definitely have the gift of gab, or well on here it's the gift of type :D |

The Welcome Waggin Social Club is looking for people who would like to greet new members. We get about 30 new members a day, and we try to greet each and every one of them, but everyone is so busy, if you can just greet 5 people a day that would be wonderful! Here's a link to the club. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gro...me-waggin.html Let me know if you have any questions. By the way, most of my PM's are just "How do I decorate the profile page?" :D |
Awwwwww I kinda know how you feel. I think that the people who are 'friends' have probably been friends for awhile. I too don't get many PMs and wish I would get more. I think its just about finding those who you have things in common with, maybe other than yorkies??? Not sure......add me as a friend for sure!!!!! |
Hi:) I'll be your friend too:D It's not corney at all. I've been on here for about only 2 months so I'm just starting to kind of recognize some people's names in the threads and PM and friend request them when I notice something in common with them or vice versa. Like someone else said, just jump in lol. As anyone who recognizes my profile name probably is already starting to learn, I definatly have a "gift for gab";) (as my dh will attest to)and I sometimes get carried away and send these LONG PMs lol. I would love to go to a meet up one of these days (I'm in NE PA) :) and I'm sure that has helped alot of people here bond. The other thing I've been doing to "make friends" is going through the pictures and videos sections and as someone else mentioned, the non-yorkie and "other" threads. I made friends with a fellow Twilight fan lol (hi ErinsWhitney:D) on a thread about "how did you name your Yorkie". |

I don't get a ton of PMs either. I mean, there are several people that I PM with regularly, but other than that, they are pretty random. Have gotten quite a few sick pup PMs. The people I do talk to regularly really enjoy veterinary medicine. We tend to want to gab about things that would bore everyone else on the forum to tears. ;) |

:( Ohhh! I think I'm one of those rude people...So sorry :embarasse I've been around for a while, but I still get lost, side-tracked, and confused in this site some times. I always forget to go to the PM area or I lose my way around :facepalm: I'll try to do better, promise, YTer word :aimeeyork |

Most of my PM's are regarding items I am purchasing/ purchased- so if you become a shop-a-holic the PM box will start to fill- LOL! I want to join you guys for Margaritas, especially if Peach ones are involved- yummy :) |

:lol tears:lol tearsOMG!!! That is me!!! |

You sound like a wonderful person and if you accept that margarita...take me with :wink: |
You know what I thought? In Facebook, it is considered rude to send a friend request to someone that doesn't know you, so I get sort of embarrassed to PM someone that doesn't know me. So in my case is not that I'm not wanting to connect, is more fear of invading someone's space :p I'm a chicken, I know :D |
Too bad the YT meetups dont still happen :( |
Quote:
Oh my! I hope I haven't been considered rude on here. I have sent PM's to people I don't know. I certainly did not intend to be. :confused: |

You are all welcome to PM me when ever you like :thumbup: |

And that is why I don't have a Facebook page! :p I have never had anyone be rude to me here on YT. As a matter of fact, I feel like I have made many new friends. I also know they are here for me when I need support or a good job pat on my back! And they tell me how cute my baby is! :D What more could you ask for? :):):) By the way, you can PM me too anytime! |
