We are yet another Straight Dope hookup. In fact, I am going to have to invite Unca Cecil to the wedding. [sub]Not Ed Zotti, though. I hate his drawings.[/sub] Rick and I met in the “thread for people who don’t get mentioned in flirty threads” that **a girl** started last January. I started teaching him to flirt, and the next thing I knew, we were emailing, chatting, and within a few days, talking on the phone. It was clear to me that this was the best guy I had ever met, so in April I flew to England so we could meet in person. We had a wonderful time and in September, Rick came here to visit me. Not only was the dope where we met, but several threads have inspired milestones; for example, a thread about what you love about your girlfriend helped Rick realise how much he loved me. (I, on the other hand, already knew I loved him madly, but being a girl, I am clever that way. Besides, how could I not love him madly?) Thanks, everyone, for the good thoughts. Now send me good wishes for next week–I am meeting my future in-laws! [sub]Just kidding, they actually seem very nice.[/sub] ---

I just pitched your story ot a bigshot, yet nameless Hollywood honcho… “Boy meets girl.” “I love it!” “On the Internet.” “Go on…” “On a message board. In a thread about flirting, it’s very sweet.” “On the what with the who now?” “She is helping him flirt, on a message board, they talk and chat and phone and then meet and after some more message board magic they hook-up and then get married…” “How many people die?” “Nobody dies!” “Hmmmm, maybe Jerry Bruckheimer can spice it up… a little slow motion here, lotsa smoke, add a CGI explosion there. Maybe we can pay Halle Berry a milion to show her boobs. Guys like boobs.” “You don’t need that crap, it’s a true story! That is why it is so great!” “What? True story? No, no, no, no. No way, no one will buy it as a true story. It’s too fanciful, yet not fanciful enough. Definitely need to get some boobies in there somewhere.” \<\\> “What is wrong with you, this is an awesome, sweet, romantic, heart warming story…and best of all it’s true!” \<\\> “Gladys, get security…immediately.” \<\\> “But it’s true…true…TRU-U-U-U-U-U-U-UE!!!” \<\\> \<\\> "Soylent Green is people…peopl-e-e-e-e\>\> “What a nutjob.” **Immense Congratulations to both of you! thats the most awesomest thing I have heard in a long time!** ---
