Allan, we don't walk across the room because those people might not want to talk to us. I don't think that ever happens here.

Matthew, you're right about not getting interupted. I usually have a hard time getting a word in edgwise in a normal conversation so I give up.

One other thing - I'm personally attracted to men with a good sense of humor. So I don't have any crushes on anyone here. Nope, not me. (Anyone buying this?) When you meet someone in person, it takes a while before anyone feels comfortable enough to be humorous. Here, it's just out there.
