> Maybe you won't want to say that you love him when you meet him face to face, because the physical presence of him will be so different from the imaginary Dr. Bob that you love right now? Maybe you'll see immediately that it would be kind of weird and strange and not even accurate to say that you love him, because you love the IDEA of him and not the REAL person?
I think you're absolutely right JenStar. I don't love people in real life. (Except my family, but even then I don't really feel affection towards them). I think the most likely scenario would be that I would be too afraid to talk to Dr. Bob.
> I think it's important to keep in mind that you're meeting him as the moderator of this board, NOT as a therapist, penpal, on-line friend, or doctor. So it won't QUITE be as personal as you'd (probably) like.
There better be some interesting weather then. ;-)
> I'd probably have to stay somewhat detached from them as people, no matter how interesting they were.
I think that's too bad. What would be the purpose of meeting then?
> I could be totally wrong, of course. :) But I like to put forth my theories. :)
LOL, yes, I hope you're wrong. I don't think Dr. Bob will talk too much. I don't think he'll get personal either. I think he might start asking me about Canada and our weather. LOL Then I'll ask him about Chicago weather. ROFL
