</B><I><P>Hi. This is the first time I have ever done this so here goes nothing. Please I only want genuine replies from normal guys ! I am starting to think that there are no normal guys out there so maybe you can change my mind ? Okay, I'll put it straight to you guys, I want friendship first and I am not into anything bizarre ! If you get my drift. I love sport, so I am very slim and athletic. I also love dancing to music, writing, going out and generally having a good time. I am shy, quiet girl who needs bringing out of her shell ! NB. No cyber sex stuff and guys must be aged 20-30. Will answer all. Perhaps, I'll talk to you later ! Bye</FONT><FONT SIZE=2> </P>
