Secret crushes, eh? Well, there’s the one person for whom I have planned a 6-hour [details redacted], but I don’t think that really qualifies as a “crush” in the innocent, school-boy sense of the word. And I don’t think it’s much of a secret. Then there’s the person on whom I would have a crush (sort of – see above), but she’s a married person and therefore forbidden. And again, no secret. There is one doper on whom I do have the more school-boyish kind of crush, but that’s not a secret, either – I declared it in one of the People Pages threads. Cultured people tell me that the minimum age for dating is (my age)/2+7, which equals 25. And of course, married people are off limits. So there are a quite a few of dopers on whom I have crushes whose names will have to remain hidden in the name of propriety. (That said, if any of the unmarried but too-young ones want to have an illicit something-something, email me and we can do it discreetly. I’ve got about a billion Continental One-Pass miles and 8 weeks of vacation accrued. ;)) And, OK, there’s one guy whom I might consider after enough beers, but no guarantees, and it would be strictly on an experimental basis. But there ain’t enough money in the world to extract that name from me. Wow. That doesn’t leave many to name. **brachyrhynchos** , **Eve** , \*\* techchick68\*\*, **Diane** , **callie** (I _think_ she’s of age), a few others. ---

Man alive! I haven’t been back to this thread for a while. [southern belle]I do declare you boys and girls are makin’ me blush![/southern belle] and LindyHopper, once again, your screen name made me giggle…you’re batting a thousand on that. I thought we were only supposed to list ONE person…if I can make a list of a million, I’ll do it. Sua’s on the top though :: cough :: I’m still working out some details to go live with Cervaise and his wife…and be their slave…but golly, my husband’s kind of reluctant to let me go… 😉 And there are two others that I shall keep a secret. But I suppose they probably know. I mean, subtltey (and spelling) arent my middle name. My middle name’s diane. jarbaby ---

Well howdy, Superdude! I’m kind of embarassed to admit that no, I don’t _really_ know who you are yet, but I’ve seen ya around, and I’m quite flattered that you’d mention me! 😃 Stick around a while…I’m sure we’ll get to be buds. 🙂 ---

Hey Superdude, I try not to post lists becuase I always miss people. I can say that Montfort has a beauty of a smile and you have great eyes and seem quite friendly, especially with parking meters 😃 So, to make a long story short (too late!) my list consists of these few (so far): Montfort Superdude Manservant Hecubus (something like that) Coldfire (we Dutch gotta stick together) BUT Not JimB, cause he’s my mom’s and that’s just gross ---

**poysyn** : So is my failure to make your list the real reason why you wouldn’t meet me in LA? ☹ As for me, my crushes tend to be secret for about the time it takes me to post (i.e., not long). Besides, it’s no FUN if they’re secret!. ---

[Sally Field]She likes me! She really likes me![/Sally Field] Ya know, for the record, I’m Dutch, too. Somewhere down in my long and probably bastardized history, anyway. And thanks for the comment about my eyes. Let me just say how moral I am, though. That parking meter and I had dated for quite a while before that picture was taken. It didn’t work out, though. She was too into her work. And she had that eating disorder…😉 ---

See, I knew that was going to happen! I post a list and I forgot someone (actually my mom was breathing down my neck to use the computer to chat with JimB). DRY - of course you are on my crush list, please accept my sincerest apologies, it wasn’t your fault we couldn’t meet, it was mine. ---

Just take care of Mrs. Tygr and cub-to-be. [D.I.] And that’s an order! [/D.I.] My crushes will remain secret. I’ve posted some elsewhere, but have developed more. Sigh (and that’s a good sigh). ---

The things I miss when I move and have absolutely no computer access for far too long… Appropriate that the first (and depending on time constraints and board slowness, maybe the **only** ) thread I post to is this one. As far as my crushes go… well, I doubt most of them are _secret_, but… **lurkernomore** (alright, who didn’t guess _this_ one :D) **UncleBill** **Tygr** **Oicu812** **Watermelon Man** **LindyHopper** **Euty** **Crunchy Frog** (Yeah, even if you _didn’t_ name me, you’re still on my list… So there! :p) Of course, I reserve the right to add as time goes on… but for now, this is the list as it stands ---
