  1. 20. had/have a crush on one of your friends – yes (hasn’t everyone?)

    Why Paul, I didn’t know you cared 🙂

  2. 26. met someone from off the net – there’s been lots of people who I’ve only known on the net before meeting them in real life, but I haven’t known anyone off the net and agreed to meet up

    Erm, what’s the difference, exactly?

  3. Well, for example I knew a lot of people via the ManLUG mailing list before I went to the meetings, but I didn’t say “hey, let’s meet up” to anyone of them. In other words I’ve known people via the net before I’ve met them, but I’ve rarely gone anywhere with the express intention of just meeting people I know online.
