Hey SCC,
take the jibes with a grain of salt,only for a couple of reasons. First is there are a few rogues who don't mind pulling ya leg, so when a post goes up about a single girl wanting to go out, its met with a bit of sceptisism. Second, a few have been burnt taking new people out, and therefore tend to be very wary. Also, other people come on and troll the site, and are sometimes not hunting friendly (i know you said you were)and are just looking for a way to put a dent in the sport so to speak.
Hope you have a cracking time over easter, and who knows, you may even make some life long friendships.
Cheers Matt
