I have now requested CMP's IM. A winner is me?
I've been a member of this forum for so long that if I had not met any of you IRL I would feel very odd indeed. Thankfully my list is so long that I often forget who I've met. Meh.
As for going from friendship to something more, that's more of a case-by-case basis. It's often a 'no' though, but only bc a lot of you are truly too young for me.
