Iā€™ve thought about this long and hard, and Iā€™ve come to the conclusion that thereā€™s only one person on the SDMB that fits the bill- a thread I will look forward to reading. And she started the thread. ---

Well, there is **HillbillyQueen**. I saw a picture of her once and I gotta admit, even as a Gay guy, she got me smilinā€™. And how can you not want to spend a weekend in Las Vegas with **ShirleyUjest**. You just know that is going to be an experience that stays in Las Vegas. ---

I kinda look forward to **QtMā€™s** postsā€“must be the medical thing (and his sense of humor). \ guess it could count as a crush. I respect alot of Dopers and read their posts to learn about different aspects of issues. There are too many to name. Iā€™ll be over here, watching the coats and purses. ---

I have many, MANY such crushes. Embarassingly many. I think I have an overactive board libido, or something. Frequently, my inner monologue goes something like this: -ā€œWhy, this woman and I share an interest in at least one TV show! And sheā€™s within 8 years of my age, and lives in Ireland, which at least speaks the same language that I do. I think Iā€™m in love! (swoon)ā€ or -ā€œThis woman agreed with something I said in a political thread! We must be soulmates! (swoon)ā€ or -ā€œThis poster lives in the SF Bay Area, and has a name which is ambiguous as to gender! (swoon)ā€ Anyhow, I have a few harmless crushes on posters who are married ( **Lady of the Lake** and **Deadly Accurate** ), a not-really-a-crush-but-DAMN-sheā€™s-hot-crush on **Kimera** , and actual ongoing semi-active crushes on **The Scrivener** (who is VERY sparing with details about her personal life), **Draelin** (who Iā€™ve flirted with several times, and who at one point promised to challenge me in Trivial Pursuit next time Iā€™m in New Jersey) and **Jayn\_Newell** (who may be too young for me, Iā€™m not sure, plus she lives in Canada, and whatā€™s THAT about?) ---

**Eve** gets my love and devotion. Always look forward to her posts. Brainy and beautiful (Iā€™m sure). I mean sheā€™s brainy but Iā€™ve never met ā€¦ ::rubs toe in the ground:: Errā€¦ And Sheā€™s published! Jack ---

**Sauron** , **lieu,** and **Dante** , because they make me laugh. **Eve,** because sheā€™s astonishingly witty and always charming. I want to be just like her when I grow up. ---

I think **ultrafilter** is the bomb. He makes me feel like an utter idiot when he posts long thoughtful answers to mathematics and physics questions where I donā€™t understand any of the OP or the posts. SO smartā€¦ And then once I saw a pic and heā€™s hot to boot. _sigh_ Now my standard for guys has gone up to ā€œso, are you a physics major and a body builder?ā€ Hard to come by, I say. ---

Well I dont know about a crush but I look out for posts by **The Weird One** , **matt\_mcl** and **Case Sensitive**. I also look out for posts by **Kythereia** , Iā€™m a straight young woman and dont have a crush on her, but her posts always bring a smile to my dialā€¦ Oh and umā€¦ **Spatial Rift 47** once told me that I look glowing :o Iā€™ve never really had that many positive comments towards my appearance so that was lovely of him. ---

> [@Thalion](#): > > Only one here: **FaerieBeth**. > > [sub]slinks away[/sub] I am absolutely stunned! Seriously, I read these threads, but never expect to see myself mentioned because I am: A) Not cool at all B) Not a very visible poster and C) Have always been a Maryann, rather than a Ginger.

> [@Big Bad Voodoo Lou](#): > > Nobody mentioned me? OK, Iā€™ll just be on my way. Well actually, **Lou** ā€¦ \ I have a crush on you. I was trying to work up the nerve, and I figured someone else would have ā€œclaimedā€ you by now. Youā€™re funny, smart, have an appreciation for good grub, I love your style, and youā€™re damn cute to boot. Iā€™d go see Rev. Horton Heat with you any day. But my husband would have to tag along.
