I met my boyfriend on another message board. If played right, and safely, this is a good way to meet people. šŸ™‚ ---

Lest we not forget possibly the first ever Doper couple : **Satan** and **Drain Bead**. Now if I could just get **SwimmingRiddles** to notice me again! šŸ˜‰ ---

Better start taking Gingko Biloba, I guess! I should mention that one of my favorite memories of the wedding we both attended was watching you and JPB dancing together so skillfully and joyously. You two are VERY adorable! ---

**Punha** and I met on the boards. I was a kinda newbie/lurker and decided to post my picture in Max Carnageā€™s ultimate picture thread type thingy and **'Pun** apparently liked what he saw and messaged me. We talked for hours and hours and days and days and eventually he came and visited me down here in Podunk Virginia and heā€™s hardly left my side since. šŸ™‚ ---

It does take a certain amount of skill in order to close the deal once an appropriate target has been acquired, if youā€™ll pardon my mixed metaphor. ---

Darn. **Flamsterette** mentioned me 'n **Euty** before I could. šŸ˜‰ Anyways. He and I go back as friends quite a ways, to the old AOL SDMB. Over the years, we became very good friends, and eventually it developed into something more. We met face-to-face for the first time at ChiDope in 2002. Unfortunately, circumstances prevent us from being together as we wish right now, and itā€™s still going to be a while. But weā€™ll get there eventually. šŸ™‚ ---

It does take a certain amount of skill in order to close the deal once an appropriate target has been acquired, if youā€™ll pardon my mixed metaphor. \*\* And letā€™s also remember that, sometimes, itā€™s just a hook-up for sex. And sometimes it leads to something a little more meaningful. Iā€™ve had a couple ofā€¦encounters with Dopers. However, Iā€™m going to be modest for once, and not reveal names. Itā€™s been primarily of a sexual nature, admittedly. That said, I have yet to have a Doper ā€œrelationship.ā€ I want one. Any girls interested in a cute, funny, single guy who has never been married, has no kids, has a job and is willing to relocate? _Listens to the crickets_ ---

We are! Iā€™m still sort of shocked that a happily single, fun, sweet, nice guy would actually _choose_ to become involved in a romance with a woman who has four kids, a crazy ex, and a household full of pets. What a great guy. Best, karol ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GingerOfTheNorth \* > \*\*I can tell you right now that there are some people who are never, ever gonna get laid at Dopefests. Ever. So Iā€™m thinking you can just throw the law of averages right out the window. \*\* **Ginger** , you break my heart. Because I was just recently thinking of calling all the boys names until someone called me out. But apparently, thereā€™s no point, as some of us _are never, ever gonna get laid at Dopefests._ In all seriousness, it sorta makes a bit of sense that a few good matches have been made here. You pick out a person who posts a brand of intelligence, humour, or cynicism that appeals to you, get to know that person better, and start a conversation. If thereā€™s no talking involved in a relationship, count me out. ---

I dunno, **Sinshine** - you sure you want to get involved with us creepy internet people? After all, one may take you away from home and deposit you on the wrong coast. But at least youā€™d have a friend there, who would feed you. ---

Iā€™ve hooked up with women from two different boards, but never this one. I did get some naked pictures from one of the posters here, though. ---
