My girlfriend is not big on forums in general. She knows about Geeknights because I've been listening to the show for like, six years and it's sort of a huge part of what shaped my life, and she knows about these forums by extension, but forum-ing isn't really something she does.
She made me promise that we go to the next PAX East together, though, so at least some of you will get to meet her eventually.
I joined this forum because: A) Andrew invited me I wanted to get to know Andrew more by reading his posts (kind of creepy stalking I guess? but ok bc he invited me :-P) C) I heard several of the podcasts on road trips and stuff with Andrew and liked them, so I figured awesome conversations were to be had here. I was right! (except for that rape discussion I got involved in, but that was one anomaly :-P)
Don't stop the dating updates, WindUpBird, it's my favourite thrice daily entertainment.
ALRIGHT GUYS
I GET IT
Seriously, I really enjoy your updates, and how enthusiastic you are about dating. It's really good fun. Maybe 70 pages ago in this thread I was in the same free and single position (though I'm not sure I posted quite so much).
My SO wouldn't really like being on this forum because she's not really much of a geek. She does enjoy most of the things that geeks enjoy, but she doesn't have the same mindset (one of digging into things and getting as much information about a geekery as possible). Also, she doesn't really have a working computer, so she doesn't internet much to begin with outside of checking FB.
The person of which I'm most fond already lurks here a little, as far as I know. She looks at it from time to time, though I don't know how often, and she doesn't have an account, to the best of my knowledge.
The other half has looked in but is into far different geekeries. To clarify she was brought up with AD&D, British Scifi, old school fantasy and science. We are talking hard core knowledge of 2000AD and German/French fantasy storys.

Actually she would probably enjoy the gif thread, which I've shown her a few times. She loved Ro's cat running gif with the music.
