I think Doug was just a little worried that people wouldn't get the joke. But in case someone did take it the wrong way, no I don't hate him, and yes we are married, and I am very glad he didn't settle for that high school crush. Thanks Lee!

Doesn't matter whether you are an extrovert like me or an introvert, objets du coeur have the ability to turn even the most loquacious of us into gibbering, shy, mouse-like wrecks. Goodness, if I think back too much on the jaw-droppingly beautiful women who have come and gone in my life, passing me swiftly by because I was too shy or tongue-tied or (bizarrely) chivalrous to ask them out, I could hang myself... “You wouldn’t have frozen in your tracks when face-to-face with the secret object of your affections.”
