Welcome to CC. Just a heads up, the men are probably more likely to accept a friend request from you. Most of the women here, like to interact with people in the forums first before they'll accept a friend request from men.
It's just a safety precaution for us, because there are alot of weirdos on this site.
I'm sure SAS would love to be your friend, but how about letting her, and the rest of us, get to know you better and interact in the forums first?
