I've added a friend like this, but I agree more with Ohio Traveler....Make your posts, and before you know it you'll be meeting really nice members on UM...Then it's up to you to decide if you want to add them on your "friend's" list...I also have alot of friends here that I don't have on my list, but I know who they are, and they know who they are.........

Forgot to add that your also a new member, so give it some time......
