The online dating thread I was leading just led me to ponder-have we had any SDMB romances from those who have met in these hallowed halls?Any still in a long term relationship?Any DoperWeddings? ---

There are several, but I’ll let them tell their stories. All’s I know is that I met **Miller** through the Dope, and I think he’s dreamy. We’ve been together for about four months now. Still too early to be talking about DoperWeddings, even if it were legal (in San Francisco!), but I know at least I’m about as happy as a nerdy gay boy can be. ---

Have there been any??! Loads! I met **Crusoe** at my first Dopefest last March, nearly a year ago. Six months later we were living together. I can think of at least one more, but that’s not my story to tell. ---

There have been a ton of threads on this topic, but for the life of me, I’m not finding the correct search terms. But yes, there are a bunch of couples and some babies and all that good stuff. ---

Only in SDMB could you meet someone known as Weird Dave and not run off screaming,but begin a romantic encounter with them… ---

We’ve been together for about four months now. Still too early to be talking about DoperWeddings, even if it were legal (in San Francisco!), but I know at least I’m about as happy as a nerdy gay boy can be. I didn’t know this. (I’m always the last to hear about these things). Congratulations. I hope things are going well. ---
