Also accept all friend request and try and ask people to be your friend especially if they have been one here for a while. They will notice you are new and my guess help you also.Friends is a huge thing on here.
That is normal my friend and if you have any questions just ask. I would like and rate people to start especially people with blinking things on their pics, more points when you like and rate them. I will tell you more as you go and make it easier for you.
