Poll question: I notice so many DU Relationships. What's your experience?
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 10:04 PM by SarahBelle
Is it just me or does it seem like there's been a lot of them in the past few months? Holy Hell. It's getting kind of funky around here (in a cool way). What have you done?

2. Do you mean, like, romantic?

Because I've made a lot of friends... and I call all friendships "relationships" because essentially that's what they are.

I'd love to meet all my DU friends, including Mrs. Belle! :hi:

23. Right back at ya!
Actually, while I love the relationships I have with so many DU friends, I was thinking along the lines of "mooshy gooshy sappy, want to jump someone's bones" relationship.

I'm bad. Well, not really. O8)

6. my pre-DU DH of a few decades recently converted ....
After not voting his entire life, claiming that "his vote doesn't count" ... he registered Democratic last year to vote against arnold and to vote against bush.

Yeah ... off topic but I know the news of another convert will bring happiness here.

40. Yeah, same here.
Don't know anyone that close on DU. But then I don't get out much. Heck I have a hard time keeping track of gender around here.

22. Wow am I ever clueless
or not here enough.

I do have a raging crush on Will Pitt and pagerbear. It was pagerbear's sweetness and love of puppy pictures that did me in.

Don't tell them though, ok? I'd be like SO embarrassed. Especially because I don't think I'm pagerbear's type. And I'm married. Loads of obstacles, but true love always wins the day and can overcome anything, right?

Right?

24. Well, not romantically, but.....
Me and Chavezspeaksthetruth have been friends since we were pretty young. We hadn't seen each other for quite some time but now get to talk to each other every day on DU....so for me, DU is not just a way to commisserate with folks who share my views, but a way to keep in touch with one of my dearest and bestest friends, who otherwise I'd be separated from.

Yes, it's corny, I know, but that actually means a lot to me.

And no, we've never been in a relationship together. I'm married, and Chavez has a fiancee.

Always be wary of people you meet THROUGH the internet; you never really know who you're dealing with, because the person on the other end is alwys showing the side of themselves that THEY want you to see. You know, you never see the corpses in the attic on the first date.

27. Yeah, no romantic relationships, but
My ma, buddyhollysghost, and I are both newbies. I discovered DU (overheard it on a RW talkshow, no less!), Mom signed on, and I quickly followed suit.

31. I met a wonderful man on DU.
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 05:52 AM by greatauntoftriplets
And it's one of the most powerful things I've ever experienced, the difficulty is the miles that separate us. Other than that, we are extemely close.

The relationship made a big breakthrough recently, and I am walking on air.
