::: stutter ::: Have you ever found yourself looking forward to reading a post by someone, simply because you’ve kinda sorta developed a crush on their perceived personality? No? Ok, then. Perhaps it’s due to your feeling that you’re both alike. Or you’ve seen pictures somewhere and you find them just too cute. Please tell me I’m not the only one. 😕 And if so, let this just drift off the front page here so everyone can quickly forget about it. That said, I figured that I’d better at least start by sharing one (who undoubtedly already knows that he is :D). Without anymore ado… ::: dramatic pause ::: Will **The Mad Hermit** come on down?!? Now, I’ll go wait anxiously over there. ---

But I went and married my Doper crush. So I don’t think he counts as a crush anymore. :eek: 😃 ---

Listen up y’all. I appreciate the confessions that you do. I’m at least not alone in this boat. However, I was looking for some _names_ people! Otherwise, we won’t be utilizing my choice of “harmless.” 'Cause that’s important here, to prevent me from blushing myself right off the boards. [aside] Mr. **Briston** , I _did_ capitalize, so there. And **auntie em** , I would think that marriage qualifies as anything but. [/aside] ---

**Dung Beetle** , you better look around the corner for **Gaudere**. 😛 And thank you guys! That’s the spirit!! Now, if we’d only get a few more in here to let their hair down, I might just happily be surprised (and I’ll even kick my shoes in the dirt like a kindergartner) that maybe, just maybe, some of mine are reciprocated. No, I ain’t tellin’ no more yet neither. You just gots to wait. Although **Troy** , you are pretty cute. 😃 As was **freud** ’s response. It made me giggle. P.S. We need a Preview for Quick Reply. ::: sigh ::: ---

I always look for Anaamika, Draelin, FilmGeek, and WhyNot’s posts. (presented in alphabetical order, to display no favoritism.) ---

Been there, done that. He knows. Hell, half the board knows, if not more. 😃 And he’s kind of busy right now. Sigh. I can’t commit myself further at this time. I also confess to having a certain partiality for **Anaamika** and **FilmGeek.** **Aesiron** was my first Doper crush and I still like him a lot. ---

That’s the first time I’ve been mentioned in such a thread! I feel like a real Doper now! I have long list of favorite posters I look for, including **Anaamika** , **CandidGamera** , \*\*Draelin, Inkleberry \*\*and **Kythereia** , but my “crushes” are \*\*Sampiro \*\*(yeah, yeah, I know he’s gay) and \*\*Incubus \*\*(yeah, yeah, I know he’s WAY too young).
