Tage, more like 3000, but yeah

Gemm, when you have the authority to do anything like that, I'll let you know.

You know what that reminds me of? That episode of News Radio where the wimpy guy tries to go punk and makes a (bigger) arse of himself. You funny. Here's a monkey treat. Go be good now.

3000 miles is perfect for a long distance relationship. One, she can't kill you Tage without nukes or something. Two, if she does like you Tage, she won't realize how short you are until it's too late. You can start emailing and if you lose interest you can just mark her emails as spam.

Despite the taboos of long distant relationships, I know several people who have made it work. One being my older brother and another is a friend of mine who's only successful marriage came from a long distance courtship.

"only successful marriage..." heheh

the thing about LDR: you don't have to actually take anyone out. Also, however, you don't get lippage. Your call.

The majority of the courtship between my wife (of three months) and myself took place inter-state.  You'd be surprised how fast things can move with email and letters.

well, yeah, if you're all gonna be serious about it: most of my wooing of my wife was long distance (primarily mail, then phone). Email can only accelerate or aggravate that. But we started in person. I can't begin to think of how I'd start dating/relating to someone in an earnest manner when I've only seen one picture of them, and that while they were dressed like a Disney character. It sounds wrong.

Of course, once everyone is against me, and/or if someone went ahead with this idea, I would immediately change my stance to something more supportive, and deny I ever was against it.

Wait, Boston eh? C'mon, I'm sooooo much closer than Tage. And I have more potential. What with the stuff and such and whatnot.

Unless of course this Belle person is just someone of my imagination and I'm making this all up, to myself. Everyone else see's Belle's post, yes?

Ah, and now the great guessing game begins: is Belle really Belle? Whether she is or not, I just hope that this doesn't turn into an online dating service--or more likely, since Gemm is here, and online propositioning service.

But I'll tell you this, Belle (if you really are Belle): getting a response out of Tage is a verrry difficult thing to do. Even dressed as a Disney character.
