Cupid Escrow Service - aka Holdfast Matchmaking Inc.

The anonymity/privacy issue makes sense. Since most people trusted Holdfast with their secret, I don't suppose they would just come out and admit to things quickly. From my perspective, though, the list of senders doesn't necessarily match the list of crushes, as we've established only four matches. Since I did my list in the spirit of fun, I personally wouldn't mind revealing mine, which is fairly short.

For example:
Well what I would say is...that I got write in's on the woman side from:

Constance
Beatrice
Hortense
Harriet

So then the men can try to figure it out who wrote in their name yet not be directly told....I mean you're still not gonna know really. You can try to figure it out or you don't ...but you'd know it was one of those women there that did in fact write your name in. Is this making sense...I'm not sure it is now.
 
I vote we don't go down the path of even remotely revealing the names of those people who sent in lists.

This thread was created under the promise of anonymity, it should stay that way.
 
^ Yes I do agree and it would be insane to get permission from anybody and besides I'm one of the people that mailed in a name or two *giggle giggle* ...but what I proposed...it did make sense didn't it?

I think so :confused:

Basically Holdfast creates a new list, just like the list of crushes but this time it's a list of everyone who sent in a list. So you just have a list of names, there's no correlation between the list of names who sent in list, and the names that were on the list.

Right?

EDIT: I've just read that through - it's like explaining the rules of cricket!
 
I guess it's at least okay for parties to disclose that they sent in lists.

In my case, I sent in a list. Three males. No, there wasn't a match, not that I was eexpecting any. That's all I'm gonna say for now. :)

Where's the part about the silly maiden getting a fine leg over, dropping her slip beneath a deep cover and delivering her crease to the batsman's stump? ;) [Out. - someone]

Well I guess folks already know I sent in a list... since AdAstra and myself were one of the matches! (It sucks monkey balls we are so very very far away from each other. :() However, wild horses couldn't drag out of me the other people on my list, one especially.

Aww, I think that's sweet (the mutual crush between you and AdAstra) in any case. :) At least we know one of the matches.
 
I know three out of the four matches. It's mildly irritating that I never figured out the last one, but I haven't really spent that much thought on it.
 
one of my crushes knows i put her name on the list. who this is should be obvious given my recent posts about her.

one of my crushes should be blindingly obvious.

my third crush may not be so obvious.
