Does lavishing karma and chocolate count ?

Sure!

Perhaps this thread will inspire some romance...

Even if no romance blossoms, this thread has inspired some good laughs (always welcome!).

Seriously, people who love to read love people who love to read (if my own marriage is any proof!

), so it's a likely scenario.

There was a poll about 2 years ago asking if you were an introvert or an extrovert. It was about 99% introverts. That's not conducive to initiating contacts and making a relationship.

Guess which minority I was in?

I know of one instance where one MR member had a crush on another one, but as far as I ever found out, the crush-er never even told the crush-ee.

As many have said, I wouldn't rule it out, but since I've been here, I don't remember seeing it happen.

And if you are both busy reading then there is less time for arguing!!

Yep, that's what I wanted to ask. Have you/has anyone ever fallen in love here on MR? I know, it's not love, not a relation, but the first stage of it, the beginnings, when you realise that there is someone whom you find interesting or attractive or special, when you start reading all his/her old posts to learn his/her opinions or how he/she reacts or when you start giving smart answers in threads that you otherwise never would have entered or when you simply act silly. Did this happen to anyone of you or are you all to cool to fall in love with an avatar?

I've been in :<3: with VR's doggie avatar ever since I first joined. But he is using a tree now, so it's over. It's not me, it's him.

Anyone who falls in love with my avatar has a serious problem...(Or a desperate need..)

Boah, I made such an effort to get my first sentences right and you? You only refer to this silly avatar thing.
