I have not, to my knowledge, ever had a secret admirer . . . though I guess that’s the point.
I have, however, done SA-ish things to other people, all of which backfired seriously. Not nice stuff, as I didn’t really know how to do it appropriately.
So far as I know nobody has me in mind for anything on this board . . . ::looks around suspiciously and hopefully::
“Sing, siren, for thyself and I will dote:
Spread o’er the silver waves thy golden hairs,
And as a bed I’ll take them and there lie”
–The Comedy of Errors, Act 3, Scene ii
“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
–Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene ii
::laughs::
“forty thousand brothers
Could not, with all their quantity of love,
Make up my sum.”
–Hamlet, Act 5, Scene i
“What man dare, I dare:
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
The arm’d rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble”
–Macbeth, Act 3, Scene iv
“she is mine own,
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar and the rocks pure gold.”
–Two Gentleman of Verona, Act 2, Scene iv
sigh Where have you been all my life? 
All the guys in my schools knew Shakespeare as “that British guy who talks funny”. Barbarians. Thanks, DRY! 
“Her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence
full of light.”
–Romeo and Juliet, Act 5, Scene iii
(I guess this is enough flirting for one thread for one night)
“She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o’er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven”
–Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene ii
(I guess I wasn’t done flirting after all)
Appreciated nonetheless
swoons A man who can recite Shakepeare? I’m intrigued…
Thank you, DRY. smooch
“One turf shall serve as pillow for us both;
One heart, one bed, two bosoms and one troth”
–A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene ii
“I understand thy kisses and thou mine,
And that’s a feeling disputation”
–Henry IV, Part 1, Act 3, Scene i
Does anyone but me predict an addition to our sweetie’s sig line? It is getting pretty crowded in here-
Scotti
Heavens, here is another one. I know that competition is the “American Way” but really-you ladies take the cake. Don’t you know that DRY is already taken? Six times? Isn’t polygamy against the law?
Scotti
Actually, hon, the ladies in my sig have all corresponded with me from time to time. You’ve gotta exchange smarmy love ltters with me to make my sig.
But if they do…
“Why then, can one desire too much of a good thing?”
–As You Like It, Act 4, Scene i
Who said anything about “marriage”?
“A young man married is a man that’s marr’d”
–All’s Well That Ends Well, Act 2, Scene iii
Which is not to say that I don’t love you:
“The heavens forbid
But that our loves and comforts should increase,
Even as our days do grow!”
–Othello, Act 2, Scene i
I stand corrected.
And I will call the caterer and the church tommorow, and tell them YOU called the whole thing off.
(SOB)
And it would have been such a beautiful ceremony, too!
Scotti, ducking and running, chuckling all the way.

Gotta admit…DRY is pretty smooth…
My apologies to MagicalSilverKey for derailing this train.
