From Mr Friend

Hi very interesting profile well I'm an asian male from herts online for a chat and friendship. Hope you had a great Xmas and a new year. I am not single and joined this line only for friendship so if that makes you run a mile I understand if not be great to chat

Dear Mr Friend. Thanks for your email. Oh you're only after after friendship? What a shame, here's me thinking you had joined a romantically-titled dating site in the hope of finding that someone special to spend the rest of your life with, not a friend just go for coffee with, watch the football and most probably whinge about your girlfriend. How very disappointing. Unless maybe you think that becoming friends with someone on a dating site might 'accidentally' evolve into something romantic, thereby replacing your current partner with a better model without the interim barren sexless wasteland of singledom, in some devious overlapping test drive process? And of course the fact that you've covered your back in your initial email by saying you're only after friendship totally absolves you of the fact you're potentially a scheming cheating bastard? A stroke of genius, no doubt, and I'm sure when you find a new 'friend' that you'd rather hop into bed with, that poor sap who current thinks you're her devoted boyfriend will totally understand, as it was a total accident. Pull the other one, it's got bells on. Yours, unfriendily
