META: Unresolved Sexual Tension?
January 21, 2014 at 04:47 PM UTC

So, I've been thinking a lot about common tropes and was thinking how our board would benefit from some sort of will-they-or-won't-they style couple. I think it'd really keep people coming back and reading regularly.
Any ideas who we can couple up? Do we want to try a traditional heterosexual couple are we open to some sort of LGBT couple. Also would it be even more appealing if the more feminine one is able to tell a joke?

I think you are out of luck on the heterosexual couple as that would require a female board member.

We have several females here. And we only need one. Or at most, two.

A post labelled meta is self-referential. Instead of being about music or child rearing or some outside topic, it's about the board itself or posts about how we post.

I don't think there are any single women on this board. Though I didn't think too hard about it. And I think every guy i know from this board is partnered in some way.
My wife once set up one of her male friends with an ex of mine on a blind date. They ended up getting married and having three kids. That's one way to get your boyfriend's ex out of the picture.

have you never seen a sitcom with UST? The number one reason it's unresolved is usually because one or more of the participants are already in a relationship with someone they're ultimately ill-suited for. Ask not who is single; ask who is in a potentially crappy relationship.

I would guess that stands for "Unresolved Sexual Tension" as it is the title of this thread.

She was just someone I dated briefly and it morphed into a friendship. Maybe I use the word "ex" too liberally. But calling her an "ex" makes for a better story, doesn't it?
