Hiya, **Boyfriend**. 😉 Loved the commercial. I related my own “rebound guy” experience (with a guy with similar build, it appears) above - he’s my husband now, and I hope that things work well for the two of you also! ---

The sappy story didn’t make me make a call to Ralph. The fact that this guy logged on as **Boyfriend** did. spew gag choke ---

Aww, c’mon, **Knowed Out**. What were the chances of that name being taken? Besides, I thought it was kind of cute. 😉 I bet **Chief Scott** would have a fit with this thread. 21 smilies at my count. Oh, this makes 22! ---

Actually, **Skerri** , when I looked earlier and saw that **Boyfriend** was the most recent poster in this thread, I thought there already _was_ a poster by that name, who would be (jokingly) saying, “Hey! That’s MY name!” or something. Imagine my delight when it was none other than the former **Rebound Guy** himself! I thought it was damn cute, too. 🙂 ---

Yup, he’s just as big a goofball as I am. That’s why we go so well together. (Well, that and he makes me laugh until I wet my pants.) Earlier today, I sent an instant message with a link to this thread, so he could see how big of a dork I am. About an hour later, I sent him an instant message saying “whatcha doing?” and he said “you’ll see”. Well, registering for the boards and posting in this thread is what he was doing. He’s a sneaky little devil. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-new-name-for-rebound-guy/143893.md?page=1)
