I guess I never tried this. It would be weird though. How do I message another guy, for instance, without that guy thinking that I'm hitting on him?
Include the phrase "no homo" somewhere in the message. Actually, I've both messaged and been messaged by guys on OKC, and as far as I know, neither of us thought there was anything romantic going on.
Well, how do you message a woman without that woman thinking you're hitting on her?
I suspect many of the same techniques would apply.
Preface your message with "I'm not hitting on you." Not much more you can do than that.
The only problem with OKC, as I see it, is that sometimes you write to 10 people before one writes back, and even then you might not be able to keep them interested -- or you yourself might lose interest. Once you adjust to this being the norm, it begins to pay off.
