**Coldfire** (He’s Coldfire. Nuff said.) **matt\_mcl** (I don’t _care_ if it’s hopeless, he’s frickin hot. And a radical liberal protester. _swoons_) **jarbabyj** (Rules.) **tatertot** (How could I not. She’s adorable.) **Eve** and **Ukulele Ike** (Brilliant when apart. Sheer poetry when together in a thread.) **andygirl** (Lovely and talented.) **Ice Wolf** (I’ve got a thing for the Kiwis.) **TVeblen** (So eloquent.) **Fenris** (Those parodies.) **Scylla** (Just for being himself.) And, even though he _really_ doesn’t deserve it after leaving me off his list, **Cumber**. ---

You’re right Rachel, I didn’t desrve that… how _could_ I have been so thoughtless? Consider yourself well and truly on my crush list. ---

But I’m the loser in that I was denied the **honor** of meeting you, while you were spared the **drudgery** of having to put up with me in person. Love ya, anyway! ---

Lady Rachel? Thanks for making me feel better-that I’m not the only one entranced by matt\_mcl and his politics. 🙂 And so far, I’m the only one who yearns for my Number One or to quote him " the only one that matters". ::sigh:: That’s why I’m your little ferret Stinky Paws, you always say just the right things. But stop reading my mind all the time,m’kay? I want to surprise you for once.🙂 ---

Corvus and Jayjay: thanks:) I was grinning ear-to-ear affer I saw that. Arden: Nope. Not everybody. For example, I didn’t make falc’s list or silver fire’s list. Still not gonna post mine, especially since I don’t have an official one. Or even an unofficial one. I will say that the People Pages have made it very difficult for me to pick a top 50. And what makes it even harder is the people who aren’t on it are also really damned attractive. Especially the ones I’ve never seen. ---

:cackles: Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I was searching for a post about volume (as in the form of measurement) and this thread came up. I found it hilarious what you folks were up to before I joined. Knowing all the relationships that have developed since this thread was active makes it even better reading. :dashes off to giggle in the corner: (disclaimer: I didn’t dredge up this thread to restart a flirt thread, **Hama** , I promise. I’m sorry, **Coldy** , I know how you hate them! I just couldn’t resist! ---

Not really sure if this is a _welcome_ blast from the past 🙂 … I no longer have Doper crushes. Just one best friend for which I’m eternally grateful. **iampunha** asked me to convert the guy I’m seeing into a Doper. Paddy, I’m trying… ---

No, Anahita, you’re right. It IS hilarious. We were all very silly back then. I’m not sure what’s happened in the intervening months. Seems I don’t see many of these wacky-flirty-fun threads anymore, and I wonder why. I’m sure some wag would chalk it up to post-9/11 fallout making us all more sober-minded, but I really can’t say. I can only suppose when it comes to my own self - It may be I don’t have time to be silly anymore. It may be that circumstances have deflated my silly-ballons. I can tell you that life’s demands for me personally being more responsible have vigorously re-asserted themselves. In any case, perhaps you resurrecting this thread might give me the pants-seat kick I need to start working on getting back my sense of fun and silliness. In anticipation of me being successful, thank you in advance. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secret-crushes-revealed-volume-iii/65840.md?page=5)
