post one reason dating the poster above you would rule and one reason it would suck

(ex-goths)

Its funny because its true =)

Oh and

c: hott, talented, love the way he thinks
d: ... none I can think of tbh

c: fun person, likes games, laughs at same weirdness
d: lives on opposite side of planet

That is no obstacle: get a virtual room.

c: funny and kind
d: would dress my dogs up in funny outfits

this "opposite side of the planet" thing DOES NOT COUNT!!! i'm moving half a world to be with someone i met on the interwebs!

gross!

Seriously??

Whoa!

I take it you've met him outside the Internet too?

I once was on a date with a girl who told me that some guy had flewn to from the US to Paris just to meet her, although they'd only exchanged messages on OKCupid before that. Dude must've been pretty desperate, or at least with a lot of extra cash.

An IM Infatuation Turned to Romance. Then the Truth Came Out.

Though I didn't mean in any way to disparage your relationship Rubyredd, I'm sure it's on a firmer basis.

oh of course

nabisco: SERIOUSLY
tuomas: NOPE
tuomas: yes, a very firm basis.
chaki: don't mock me. if things don't work out with this guy, i'm coming for you! ;)

sometimes you just KNOW things. and i know this guy. tell me all the horror stories you want, but i'm hardly some naive tender petal about to get my poor little heart crushed.

She's moving to Oakland, guys = True love ;)

if things don't work out with this guy, i'm coming for you! ;)

man I'm going to have to start trying this "gross!" line

oh yah if it doesnt work out in oakland im right across the bridge baby! oaktown is grosstown!

chaki all rollin up on girls with foreign accents just telling them "gross!" and having a nonzero success rate

clearly those of us on the east coast have no clues

i'm sure there are plenty of strong internet relationships happening where the couple has never met.

c: I'm sure the sex is awesome after a big score
d: lovers tend to end up dead

west coast boys are pretty fine.

c: nz accent
d: california wtf

c: has a wii
d: too tall

I applaud Ruby's risk-taking. More of us should be so brave.

Jordan, I... I have something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now...

IT'S NOT MY WII

it's over :(

r: Understands how awesome it is that I have a Wii.
s: Might produce accusations of favoritism in my IMM modding when I deleted everything other than the drum threads for Valentines day.

r: For a while, we pretty much shared the same brain.
s: For a while, we pretty much hit on/dated the same girls and he got further with all of them than I did.

r: way smart, hilarious
s: I think our respective spouses might complain

we pretty much hit on/dated the same girls and he got further with all of them than I did

I'm sorry, but LOLOL

You haven't actually met him in real life? Horror stories aside, wouldn't it be much better to meet him at least once before moving to the other side of the planet? I mean, you surely know what to do with your own life, but I don't think I could ever do anything like that.

(several x-posts)

Why would you think she'd be better off listening to you? After all, you're just some stranger on the internet.

oh ms. misery... HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

because he's being reasonable?

Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point, chaki.

r: smart, funny, amusing cat stories
s: uses made up fancy-man "language" in conversation

r: very funny and could teach me to make many new drinks
s: exasperating

r: is in nursing school
s: lives in a very cold place

r: Has loads of animals
s: Has ringworm

Horror stories aside, wouldn't it be much better to meet him at least once before moving to the other side of the planet?

Not if you have a hankering to see the other side of the planet anyway. I mean, it's not like she's breaking up a long-term existing relationship to go across the world. If it doesn't work out, fuck it, she'll move on.

Not that you can't speak for yourself, Rubyredd.

:) is totally cool with internet romance
:( has vagina (or does she?? since it's the internet, I WILL NEVER BE SURE)

xpost to misery

accentmonkey, you just nailed it.

xxpost

haha, you said our status as animal saviors means to wear the ringworm scars with pride!

Ilx loves to speak for other people. It's what those who have no lives of their own do best.

Ruby, you have opened me up for all manner of zing with the vagina comment but that's okay. I forgive you.

haha, you said our status as animal saviors means to wear the ringworm scars with pride!

I utterly lied. For this reason, you should not date me.

:( Well fortunately G has not developed scars. And all the abandoned cats are getting baths and expensive medicine. All is well in east Austin.
