Every so often I want to jump for joy. This would be one of those times. The Escapist forum's done me no small bit of good lately.

Some of you may remember the thread on Off-Topic last week about BDSM. Well, there was a girl on here who lamented the lack of poll options for her kind, saying "there's no poll option for us subs." I delivered my nominee for the lamest pick-up line in the history of pickup lines:

"There's always room for subs. ;)"

Well, hot damn on a stick, it worked. After a day's worth of forum flirting, a few PMs, an email or two, an acquired phone number, a whole bunch of text messages, and enough dirty talk to fill the script in a porno flick (seriously, all we need is a pizza delivered and a TV repairman and you've got the whole damn set piece for that script), I think I can say with a measure of certainty that what we've got here is a relationship.

Who's the lucky girl, you might ask (if you missed the thread where I flirted with her)? Dorkette1990 and SimuLord, sittin' in a tree, G-A-M-I-N-G. :) It's a funny thing how shared interests go. The weird thing? On a gaming forum, it ended up being a talk about bondage that launched a thousand ships. Or just one ship. And I have The Escapist to thank. Yay! Thanks for making it possible for me to meet my new girlfriend, Themis Media!

For Discussion! Summon Chris Hansen (and shut up. On the day I was born my dad was 35 and my mom was 21. It runs in my family.) Talk about how you met your significant other. Guys and girls, hit on each other so you can follow suit. It's an open thread all about romance! And bondage. And Geeks In Love.


Keep being awesome, sweetie. <3

Dorkette?, she's the one with the self made lip peircing?, you've got yourself a cutie there Simulord.

Its nice to see forums having this effect on people, I'd personally love to meet a like minded KillZone 2 fan that would be the Medic to my Saboteur.

... how did someone know me? Really? And here I thought I lived in relative anonymity.
That was a pickup line? I thought that happened.... holy jeez, I am really blonde under this red.

Haha...it caught your attention. And it's funny the things people notice on web forums.

Also, I clicked on this randomly. I was all "How am I supposed to find this forum to add my two cents?" and I got the idea to randomly click into a forum, then just back out to off topic, but I managed to click into this. Score! Hooray for luck.

Congrats! Finding that kind of connection with someone is a great feeling, isn't it? :)

Count me as the big idiot for not realizing I could've just emailed you the direct URL for the thread rather than texting "It's posted in Off-Topic".

Hahaha, that is awesome! If you can do it, I'd imagine everyone else can. Granted, I probably couldn't, because I don't live close to anyone. At all.

Kojima, huh? Well, unlike Kojima's body of work, this is one cutscene I don't want to skip. Press X to Not Break Up?

Wow! Congratulations! :D

I met one of my partners through a forum like this, it's always good to see other people find each other in unlikely scenarios. :) I hope you're very happy together.

Well good for you.

You should throw a party, and fly every Escapist to your house! IT WILL BE AWESOME!

I love this thread. That's absolutely superb for you both! I've met all my truest friends through forums, so I fully believe that given the right circumstances, you can meet the right partner through them too.

Bravo, friend. Bravo.
