A lot of my crushes know who they are… **UncleBill** , **Oicu812** , **CrunchyFrog** , **Tygr** , **Tripler** , the guys in my harem… But there are a few I haven’t mentioned until now. I’ll leave the reasons as my own (girl can’t let out all her secrets, now can she?) but here are the names, in no particular order… **pezpunk mrblue92 CheifScott Verrain Euty SuaSponte OxyMoron** Ok, ok… so some are a little more unrequited than others. But now I feel better for having aired that little tidbit. Thank you for giving me a place to let it all be known. ---

I think most of you gals know who you are…but one of you might not and I haven’t seen you here lately. **evilbeth,** you really charmed me when we met (way back when, remember?) and I’ve never quite gotten over you. So there. I said it. * * * Peace, TN\*hippie P.S. I’m moving back to E.TN in the spring…😉 ---

Sure, **True Pisces** , we both have crushes on **Crunchy** and **Tygr**? I’ll admit, I also have crushes on **Manservant Hecubus, Dynosaur and blur** … ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by hardygrrl \* > **Sure, True Pisces, we both have crushes on Crunchy and Tygr?** Of course! You both have impeccable taste. [sub]Though that doesn’t explain why MY name is in there. 😛 [/sub] Seriously, thanks to both of you, since you know the feeling is mutual. And if it’s true that a man is known by the company he keeps, then, looking at the fine gentlemen on both your lists, I am humbled to consider myself last among equals. But you hardly qualify as “secret” and “unrequited”. My list that covers those criteria is too large to post here. Suffice to say that a significant reason I participate on these boards, second only to the never-ending quest to diminish my own ignorance, is the phenomenally high percentage of strong, witty, intelligent women here. First and foremost is intelligence attractive, and nowhere else will I find this many attractive women. ---

This is sorta looking like another “you name me and I’ll name you” “here’s an excuse to flirt” kinda thing…and I thought a “secret unrequited” crush was, you know, “secret” and “ **unrequited**.” And what’s your definition of “crush?” Do you mean “person I want to get to know,” or “person I want to rape on sight,” or something in the middle, or what? As far as I know, I get crushes only VERY rarely. I once told this guy I was crushing on him when I actually wasn’t…and I don’t like to lie. I’ve only had one actual CRUSH the whole time I’ve been here, and that was on Tequila Mockingbird, and it wasn’t remotely unrequited and it’s no longer remotely secret. I think people may be responding to entirely different criteria here. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hamadryad \* > \*\* > > I think people may be responding to entirely different criteria here. \*\* Yeah, I dunno if I could put forth a firm definition of “crush,” but when I began this thread I sorta pictured it as being one where people would see their name and think, “_That_ Doper has a _thing_ for _me_? I didn’t know she even knew I was alive!” But things (and threads) evolve, I guess. ---

The same goes for Scylla because of that essay he wrote about his wife. This is the way we all want to be written about. And I missed the opportunity to post with Wally but the man would make me laugh so hard, people were prairie-dogging over the cubes to find out what the hell was wrong with me.
