No Likey, No Lighty: My Second Habbo Experience


Today it was about time I delved in to the virtual brick walls of the never-ending hotel once again. Of course, I am referring to Habbo. This time I think I had a better grasp of how to navigate through the countless rooms and actually managed to stumble upon a right gem..

Habbo has the great feature of users being able to create their own rooms, with one, I am assuming British, user creating a room based on a much beloved dating TV show. If you haven't guessed by the title of this post, it's Take Me Out! So there ARE Habbo-ers out there looking for love.. and lots of them!

Not quite like the original format, female users sit in a long line of chairs until a new bachelor walks in (they all patiently wait in line for the chance, as do the women, who wait for a chair).  The women stand up if they like the look of the guy, and then the guy ever so politely goes over to all of the women he doesn't like and asks them to 'sit down'.  Hilarious!

The lucky last two ladies get the opportunity to answer a question, upon which, the bachelor picks his favorite and it all starts again. I wonder if any will be jetting off to the Isle of Fernandos?

I am still getting to grips with the social dos and don'ts, but from what I found today, there are users from across the globe openly looking for relationships, albeit virtual ones. I'm yet to see whether many want these to go beyond Habbo and I can't wait to find out.

Meeting new people can be lots of fun, but please remember to keep safe online
