Zappo doesn’t love me, either.

Or maybe he does and he’s just being quiet because of **Gunslinger**! That must be it! That’s why I’m not listed by everybody - they’re all just backing off 'cause they know I’m taken!

right?

So, **racinchikki** , how _you_ doin’? 😉

Hell, I’ve got crushes on every female doper - provided that they’re at least a day’s travel away. Still, I’d have to give the nod for top crush to **alice\_in\_wonderland**.  
No big surprise there, I’m sure.

Jeez, I feel your pain. As near as I can tell, the only Doperchick on my crush list who’s within a day’s travel by car is **alice\_in\_wonderland** (you _are_ in southern Alberta, right? My mind is trying to trick me.). All the others are at least 1000 miles away. I think **Arden Ranger** is the closest, with honorable mentions going to **Tequila Mockingbird** , **jarbabyj** , and **CrankyAsAnOldMan** , the Midwestern-Babe-Chick-Doper-Crushes.

The others are on the East Coast or in the extreme southeast. Shoot. :kicking dirt: ☹

Tell you what, **LindyHopper** , I’ll take the SE dopers and you can have the NW ones. I still intend to flirt outrageously with **alice** , though, so don’t get jealous! 😃

As long as you don’t mind if I flirt outrageously with **bobkitty** , we’ll get along fine! 😃

(As to SE vs. NW, on my list, there are exactly one of each, so that works out pretty even.)

Hey, **bobkitty** , how _you_ doin’? 😉

**Lindy** , you big sweetie, you. _smooches_

None of my crushes are secret. I’ve been pretty open about them.

You have all hijacked my thread! Damn you! 😉

You can all refer to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=111692) thread. It’s all about me. And the boy I lust over.

Shhh! They’ll overhear, my sweet!

Of course I have a crush on you. Anybody who I can dream about showing up on my front step in a Step-Down Hudson full of Cafe’ du Monde coffee is definitely somebody who makes my heart go pitty-pat.

Add to that the fact that you look good in a fedora and. . ._sigh_

I’m insanely jealous. I don’t have any doper crushes, but dammit I want some. Any suggestions?

“And after I went to all the trouble of splitting up with my wife and putting on all this weight just for you.”

Okay, that was too damn funny. I’m not even “exuberant” and now I’m considering a crush on **Jack Batty**. 🙂 Just kidding, Jack.

As for the rest of you…  
Do you have female parts? Are they nice? Okay, I’ve got a crush.  
How big is your 401K? Do you own land in British Columbia? Can I leave the seat up and do you like baseball?  
Oh, and then there’s that whole breast thing…

Aaargh, I’ve got crushes on you all!

Two, actually.

1. Go to the people pages ([http://geocities.com/sdpeoplepages](http://geocities.com/sdpeoplepages))

2. Go to a dopefest. I have yet to go to a dopefest where there wasn’t someone to drool over. However, I’ve got the advantage of being attracted to boys AND girls:D

3. Am I the last non-het guy on the board to get to drool over **scott evil**? Scott, my mother thanks you (even though she’s married and asleep), my father thanks you (even though he’s straight, married and asleep), but most of all, my tongue thanks you. YyyyyyyyyyUM!

[sub]I have discovered that it is actually disadvantageous to air my crushes on the board, so I will continue to crush in secret.[/sub]

Hey **Mermaid** , you’re my kind of chick! It’s just that the whole “husband” thing is kinda off-putting. 🙂

Although, if you ever want to scram outta Ohio, you’ve got a friend in Pennsylvania… .

Yes, the pictures pages are a good start punha, but the world is littered with nice looking people. I usually need a bit more to spark my interest… Hmm. Maybe I _can_ think of a candidate, but I’ll take your advise and keep it secret.

Oh my - this thread was just pointed out to me… I’ve been mentioned in a _Flirt Thread_! _TWICE!_

Man-o-man - you take your clothes of just [once](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=96113&highlight=naked)…

**Galen** as you know, you are _The Night Man_ as far as I’m concerned. 🙂

And **LindyHopper** , I **AM** in Southern Alberta - I’ve got cowboy boots and everything!

I also have to mention **AlbertRose** - the sweetest of all dopers. 🙂

Of course, I have to mention **ShibbOleth** as well. Once you’ve painted a man’s, um… _trunk_, you just can’t go back. 😃

Then you are officially the closest Doperchick-crushee to me–although it’s still a several-hour drive; it takes me four to five hours just to get to the Canadian border. Still…😉

I don’t have any cowboy boots, but I do have a nifty selection of bolo ties!
