Thanks **AndYrAStar**! It seems I have been cursed with the ability to attract 17-year-olds… hehe… oh well. As for myself I unfortunately do not have any crushes right now - as a certain member of the opposite sex has not returned my calls and uninflated my ego (I still can’t fit my head through the door, but at leaat I don’t have to duck 😉 ) punk snot dead, broccoli! ---

My roommate and I both have crushes (a crush?) on Ben Affleck. He’s just so darn cute, and seems so nice! _sigh_ But here, I have crushes on **Coldfire** , **Tygr** , and **Welfy** (that’s platonic in Welfy’s case, btw). And **Crunchy Frog** kinda tickles my fancy, too. 🙂 ---

I made Jack Batty’s list? Wow. I am honored. Jack Batty is the coolest of the cool. I didn’t name him because I figured it’s a given. I mean, saying you have a crush on Jack Batty would be like saying you think Ricky Martin has a nice ass, what’s the point? ---

Yes Tygr, I am a redhead. A natural redhead. Naturally curly redhead. Heh. While I never actually named my crush in my earlier post, for your benefit (because I don’t know if you’ve done enough research to know who the Aging Rock Star is), it does happen to be **aha.** You should read up a little on him (do a search for “Aging Rock Star.” You’ll find out that you are not only in famous company, but _really damn cool_ company). Aspiring to be in a sandwich with **ultress** is an excellent goal as well. She majorly kicks a\*\*. Good luck! 😃 ---

Oh my, I don’t think I can list everyone. Still, I shall harness my usual thickheadedness, and plunge forward. I just apologize in advance for forgetting anyone. **Zoggie** -first Doper I ever got to talk to via IM, and now we talk regularly. Though I think that she’s just using me for my fish… **Medea’s Child** -She’s witty, beautiful, and goes to school in my neighborhood. How can a guy not like her? **struuter** -One of my favoritist people on the boards ever! (Grammar? What’s that?) **Persephone** -A secret one for a while, but the “natural, curly redhead” thing just clinched it. **techchick** -Always a joy to read your posts, specially the ones about underwear, or lack thereof. 😉 And lastly, **Deiket** -Though, confidentially, I think she likes me, too. 😃 Well, I’ll sulk back to my corner now, and you can all pretend that I never mentioned you. ---

oh yeah, I’m a natural redhead, too. Naturally wavy, but I got a perm about a year and a half ago, and it’s still curly from it. 🙂 ---

She’s 15, in one class with me, runs for the girls CC team, and is both smart _and_ funny. Weird, eh? ---

Okay, quick, before anybody notices! **Falcon** -Funny and kind, yet merciless in football sig bets. **Purplebear** -The absolute nicest person on this board. Ever.

_ **blush** _ Made it onto **Jester** and **Tygr** crush lists. The honor is amazing and the pleasure is truly all mine. Dopers make my days happy.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Medea’s Child \* > \*\*~Silent\_Rob, who I IM simply to get the discription of his day. Such a facinating, bright and amazing person. > \*\* :o **Medea’s Child** , that really means a lot to me. Especially coming from a person that I admire and…have a crush on as well. 🙂 You’re such a nice, intelligent, beautiful person. I really enjoy talking to you. Okay…I guess I better name my crushes as well. IRL -Someone I’ll just call…Cute Girl. In many of the same classes as me, we get along great, we can talk for a long time, I give her rides so she doesn’t have to take the bus, and…I _just_ found out that she has a boyfriend. -I have crushes on a couple of different girls that are good friends of mine. I’m just funny, easy-to-talk-to Rob, though. SDMB - **Medea’s Child** : If you’ve talked to her at all, there’s no explanation necessary. Just great all around, and drop-dead gorgeous, I might add. - **AudreyK** : A simply amazing person. I could, and have, talked with her for hours on end. Sooooo smart, funny, fun, beautiful, interesting…I’ll end there, cuz I could go on for days. Suffice to say that she rocks the casbah! I have a crush on her times 10. 🙂 - **Silver Fire** : If her musical tastes weren’t enough for me to have a crush, she’s just awsome. Another person that I really like talking to. - **ThanksAgain** : A really nice, great person. Also, very cute. 🙂 - **Mega The Roo** : Very artistic, and very talented. _ahem_ Really cute. 🙂 - **Brunetter** : Love talking to her, and she’s just such a great person. The first person to say she had a crush on me, too. - **Swimming Riddles** : Very cool person, all around. Wish I could talk to her more often. Well, there’s my list. I’m sure there are numerous others that I’ll think of immediately after sending this. ---

Oh my. **Rob** , that is the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me. {{silent\_rob}} You always make me feel so special. It’s one of the many reasons I enjoy talking with you. Thank you, sweetie. 🙂 Not quite crushes, but I’ve still got a lot of warm fuzzies for **poohpah chalupa** (hope you’re okay, hon) and **KKBattousai** (yay! you’ll be home soon!). The board wouldn’t be the same to me without you guys.
