I refuse to answer on the grounds that if my wife ever does start to read these, it might get my legs broken. However, if I _were_ to crush on someone [sub]and I’m not saying I am[/sub], that someone would be… intelligent educated experienced someone with a good sense of humor someone with interesting hobbies, including computer games & RPG’s reasonably self-confident Hope that’s not giving away too much. ---

Of course, IRL I’d never have the guts, but … I remain a “secret” cyber-admirer of both **TheLoadedDog** and **RueDeDay**. In part because they mention me in despatches. If I actually had the chance to meet tem IRL, I don’t think I’d be able to go through with it. I’d run, the cowardly custard that I am. ---

This is a good turnout, but I want more! I want every single, solitary (figurative, not literal. The married, engaged, or otherwise attached need to respond, as well) Doper to read to see if their name appears here, and every Doper to post their _object d`affection_. ---

Awright, **Superstud** , keep yer pants on… I have a crush on **Rue** because he’s the funniest man on these boards. But I’ve said it before. He won’t be shocked. I also have a crush on…argh…he doesn’t even know me here. I can’t do it. Never mind. But I know he likes Elvis Costello and he’s pretty grumpy. Oh, and there’s always you, **Superdude**. You promised whips and chains this weekend, but we’ll just have to see if you deliver. 😉 ---

Not fur nuffin, but people should really think about the potential for hurt feelings and the killing of self-esteem before they proceed with this type of thread. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fiver \* > \*\*How is this different from any other flirt or crush thread? \*\* It isn’t. And, after some thought (and lunch), I realized that the poster I have the most in common with intellectually and philosophically is **Cranky**. So I’m adding her. [sub]Hi, **Cranky**! I’m not stalking you! I swear![/sub] ---

I’d have to go with an unnamed lurker. I seem to be attracted to people I know nothing about, or are complete mysteries. I think I need to get to a Dopefest. ---

We should cease all flirting. Oh, and from now on noone will be allowed to mention other posters in their sigs. We wouldn’t want anyone to ever feel left out of _anything_, would we? [/hijack] As for my list, if there were no Quix, and I lived in Denver, MrC and I would be on like Donkey Kong. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/serious-doper-crush-question/89542.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/serious-doper-crush-question/89542.md?page=3)
