Sorry, I have two reasons. first, I was with a freind I don't see very often, secondly, I hate to disapoint you (and all of the other members here) but I don't A tell people online were I'm going to be on a certain date or B meet people that I only know on a computer screen. No offence but those are my rules and they are going to stay that way, I'm sure you understand.

No offense from me. Wise move; you never know what kind of spy-bots etc might be watching
