    Sometimes you just randomly bump into someone in this mass expanse of the internet, and you just 'click.' Your sense of humor jives with one another. Your hopes and dreams coincide. Next thing you know, your conversations have moved from the mundane and scripted to the personal and profound. Unless you're on a site that's specifically sells itself as a dating/match/hookup machine, relationships just kinda happen without intention.

    I'm no one to judge where couple's meet. I met my boyfriend/fiance/husbandthing of three years on World of Warcraft. Not on purpose. I didn't start start playing WoW to meet somebody. I play WoW because it's a fun game. Then I met Don. Out of the millions of people who play that game, we just randomly found each other. Conversations went from "Hey help me kill this thing" to "so how was your day" to "I think I love you." You can't plan that, you can't make that happen. 700 miles and 3 years later, I'm living in Ohio with a man that I could never have imagined.

    So maybe MFP isn't designed to build relationships. But it happens. It can and does happen anywhere.

    *These* are adorable!! I want 'em.



    (Sorry but I'm hopelessly hetero, BTW.)

    Flirting is flirting! Its fun, and harmless imo. As long as those involved are game, I say let's get it on! Regardless of preference!

    Wouldn't you want someone who liked you even at your worst and stuck through it with you? And then transformed with you into the better?

    Nope.... when I'm hot again, I could do better. LOL

    just sayin'.....
