I've chosen the second tip as well!
No matter how the person looks like or where he/she lives but his/her personality is what matters most as for me! Anyway, for the last couple of months I haven't had much free time to come to the chat room, so I haven't been able to make new friends unfortunately... Nonetheless, I still do appear in forums but it's not enough to make new friendly relationships - I need to have a chat with this very person so as to learn what he/she is! 
Anyhow, I'm still on good terms with my old TCP friends and I hope they've got the same opinion about me. Sorry, guys, I've become less active in chat recently but that's all temporarily! 
See ya!
