I addressed him as Mr. Wall and told him I was a big fan of the podcast. Just thought it was fitting for this post :) Hi Gayle, I don’t know what you call it but I met Dick Wall yesterday, and it felt like meeting a movie star.

I think it's possible, but I think it would be easy for it to transition from non-sexual to sexual very quickly, without either person even realizing it. “Can a person have a non-sexual, “technical crush” on someone of the opposite gender?”

"I want you to bear my virtual children" has a nice ring to it, but it's kind of a mouthful.
