I don’t think we’ve ever actually met, **Sapphire** , but I’ve heard a lot about you. **Thinksnow** says you’re a trip, and that’s a pretty good recommendation. I look forward to meeting you at OhDope.

Since AFAIK she’s the only one here it wouldn’t be illegal for me to get involved with, **Lady Juliet** 😛

**Thinksnow** thinks I’m a trip? He likes me?! Ohmygod I think I need to go lie down. 😉 I can’t wait to meet you either **Superdude**! Tomorrow! It’s tomorrow! I’m gonna be in Ohio tomorrow!

Well, I wouldn’t get as orgasmic as **jarbaby** watching _The Sopranos_, there, **Sapphire**. I mean, **think** ’s a nice guy, but he also thinks the OSU Buckeyes are a decent football team. However, if you _wish_ to get orgasmic, perhaps _I_ can be of some service…?

My neglecting of **Rue** has presently been rectified.

So of course, **Rue’s** on the list.

As for others, I’m hooked on **Jack Batty’s** posts lately, and if I was a lesbian I’d probably try to woo **CrankyAsAnOldMan** but she’d probably already be taken!!!

**Wolfie, Wolfie, Wolfie…** , you’re forgetting three important factors:

1. TLD is a pussycat.
2. I’d be quaking in my boots meself (see point 1)
3. Qantas is offering very cheap flights at the moment. 🙂

Goodness, **bouv** , I’m flattered.

For me, the only Doper I’ve considered dating so far, I did date. I have to spend time IRL with someone before I can know whether I like him enough to date him. I can’t get a good enough sense of someone from only their written words to know.

Cheap, meaningless flings, on the other hand…

Oh, for sure I would date **pezpunk**. I love silly, goofy men who drink lots of beer and play in punk bands.

Seriously, I look for the right combination of extreme smarts and a crazy sense of humor. Someone who can debate literature and the meaning of _Walden_ with me, but who also makes me laugh all the time. And he has to like long walks in the woods.

The only other Doper I would date is **LuxFiat** , as evidenced by my wild pawing of him at the NY Dopefest last year. Alas, he knew better than to get involved with a girl like me. But he’s got most of what I’m looking for, AFAIK: killer sense of humor and legitimate smarts. Yum. 🙂

Oh no. The kiss of death! Whenever someone posts that they like my posts, I completely dry up. I hope you’re happy. Now I’ll be unfunny for days.  
So. How _you_ doing?

For the record – I am married. But separated. Take that for what it’s worth.

😉

I have no crushes. I’m so above that.

Upon re-reading that, I realized it sounds like I’m dissing **Pezzy**. Seriously, he has a bazillion qualities that I love. I would totally date him. I do really love silly, goofy men who drink lots of beer and play in punk bands! And I meant that he has the combination of smarts and goofiness that makes me all gooey and happy. 🙂

I’d have to say I’m rather blazingly partial to **ARose**. Then again, that could be the reason why we’re dating now. 😃 But just a thought.
