there were things i wish i would've known when i was new to Lit. i had never been a part of the on-line community before and jumped in and sort of winged it.

any advice you want to give to the new members? post them here!

This could be a handbook of sorts LOL

Bumping as this is a great thread.

Only suggestions I have to make is if you are in a relationship with another Litster don't post your trials and tribulations here. The "lurkers" ususally from the GB will then really respond and that can make everything worse.

Have fun here, flirt here, post the good times, and this may sound off, and don't get your "undies in a bundle"by ANYTHING posted on the threads.. So much drama occurs when something is misunderstood.

As always, the wellrounded (in so many lusty ways) {{{{KAYTE}}}} has summed it up admirably.

As for the lurkers -- pay no nevermind.

Remember that screwdriver you're using to dismantle your PC after posting on 'Lit' belongs to Philip.

Hi {{{{{{{elizabeth}}}}} You are so right. It does take a bit of time.

True.. seem to be so many of them of late.

I'd also add to beware of the people who offer endless hugs and talk as if they are Mother (or Father... depending on gender) Theresa. They are numerous and usually can be found posting them indicriminately and talking all cutsily or sympathetically. They are usually either predators or out for attention and ultimately want you to listen to THEM rather than offer any comfort to you. It's basically an 'in' with you.

Don't get me wrong... there are many people who ARE genuine out there, but there are a lot putting on a show also. Generally the more OTT or the least effort (just a hug or a pic) are the ones to watch out for. The ones in-between are usually genuine.
