This is an uncharacteristic thing for me to write. I don't "pine". I don't "crush" on someone I don't know, because personality is really important to me. My original intent was to find a "missed connections" thread in the Hopeless Romantics group. I didn't find one (which was surprising), but in starting the thread myself, I decided that starting a thread just to write this...
