Cupid Escrow Service - aka Holdfast Matchmaking Inc.

I'm curious. I haven't been following the anonymous confessions thread. Are these crushes mostly people who have actually met each other or who only know them through their posts here? I am curious just because I met my girlfriend of 10 years when she sent me an e-mail simply asking me a question because I was a poster in a psychology chatroom and I seemed like a smart guy. So obviously I know how little it can take to meet someone who turns out to the right one.

This does take me back to those horrible school years of not being the cool kid and never having the girls you like like you. I think I am free from that worry here. One positive advantage of posting as a fat, unemployed, suicidal guy who is always talking about his girlfriend is I am not a prime catch. I guesss that's a good thing.:):(:confused:
 
I'm not ashamed to say that after a boozy night of a case of PBR, 9 tequila shots, a little GHB, and the volleyball scene from Top Gun on repeat, Garak and I fell in love.
 
So I guess the whole purpose of this thread is to hook people up(?). But to me, crushes don't really mean anything. Even if it did, this is a BBS board, not like a dating service. I could just as well post the names of people I have crushes on; it's all fantasy I guess, since they may already be involved in a relationship or do not reciprocate. I could say, "mrcoaster is a major hottie," but what would that accomplish? ;) (Using that only as an example.)
 
Well I will admit I sent Holdy something. But I sent my PM because I thought it would be fun and not because I thought I would get anything out of it. :bolian: That's why I come here, for the fun! Besides, taking everything deadly serious (especially an internet message board) is a little unhealthy. I recommend everyone going with the moment and throwing caution to the wind! Send those PM's! You know you want to!

(And if I was really that desperate for a date, I would just ask out the hot guy at my pharmacy or the adorable teller at my bank or that tall handsome drink of water that works the bar at one of my favorite restaurants. I also have an old boyfriend that I wouldn't mind getting back in touch with or that beefy football player I was seeing last fall. But don't get me wrong. You never know what might happen unless you try. It is possible that I could find a match here or anywhere for that matter so I keeping myself open to anything and everything.)

Now I'm jealous at the amount of prospects you have. I can honestly I don't know know any gals atm that I'd actually want to date.
 
Well, if all else fails just put down yourself. A little narcissism never hurt anyone.

Well, I thought of someone who seems pretty cool. But I can't say I'm in "love" with anyone. Nothing even close, really.



Same, I can't love someone online, or I don't think I can, but I certainly can fancy them in a would you like to get a cup of coffee?;) Kinda way.

I'm so full of it....


I sent in my list :alienblush:
 
As I recall you are an AARP card holder and that makes you over the hill not middle aged! :p

Oddly enough, AARP sends out "join" offers at age 50.

Too bad senior discounts don't start 'til 60 or 65. :( I'd get more out of those than I do the AARP discount.

I feel ya' man. I'm not someone who wants to date fifteen different women in three months so I guess I'm a little picky, though.
 
Good point, AstroSmurf. I guess if it works for some people, who am I to judge? Frankly, I don't even have any crushes in real life--well, that's not true. I work with this nice accountant lady in the office. She's probably 15 to 20 years older than me and happily married with one daughter, but come on, I would never ever even confess to her my admiration. Besides, it's just that, but I suppose it's easier to do it on-line when you don't actually see people face-to-face.
