Ten Stages to a Blogging Relationship (and the real world dating equivalents)
| Not wanting to beat a dead horse with this topic. This will be the final installment of the trilogy. At first we discussed the Complexities of Linking. Then we reviewed Blogging Ethics. Finally, we're going over the Ten Stages of a Blogging Relationship and their Real World Equivalents. 1- Lurking Staring from across the room 2- Commenting "Can I buy you a drink?" 3- Commenting in the form of a question (in hopes of advancing to two way conversation) "Can I give you a call sometime?" 4- Poking around in the archives "Tell me about your childhood" 5- Checking out their sidebar links "When do I meet your friends?" 6- Making a reference link to them on your latest post "I want my friends to meet you" 7- Tagging them "I'm sorry. It's Friday. I just assumed we'd be doing something together tonight. Isn't it implied by now?" 8- Emailing them directly "I put your number in my speed dial" 9- Instant Messaging "I was in the neighborhood. I hope it's okay if I just pop in like this" 10- Linking them on your sidebar "Do you mind if I leave my toothbrush at your place?" Labels: Ten Things |

post a commentit's the people who link me yet have never commented that I find the creepiest, I think. I even noticed one person who linked to me yet never commented who did a meme and tagged me. I pretended I didn't even know about it. how can she expect me to even know I'm tagged when she never even commented or my blog or let me know that she linked to me? it was just coincidence that I checked out my stats and saw that she linked to me. weird.
I am not sure what to say. I think I might be an easy blogger...is there a support group for that? ;)
And it seems I am slow or not as observant as I initially thought I was - I also like the new picture/avatar (not sure of the correct terminology)
Cheers!
I love how you explain yourself..quite a way with words.
(right now it's way past my bedtime and I'm out of words...lol)
hey brico, you forgot this one:
"can i cover my wall with a collage of brico pics?"
or
"please put the lotion in the basket"
LOL...omg...
i linked you first cause i thought you were cool and had something to say... :)
i am not sure my lovers would be ok with me having a toothbrush at your place though...maybe i should rethink having you linked...
*sigh*
peace...
RULES?!?!? We dont need no stinkin rules!!!......(said with cheech marin accent.....) I'm really not ready for someone to place constraints on my blogging behavior! Sagittarians are natorious for exiting stage left when others attempt to place limits, parameters, boundaries on us!!! REBEL with a BLOG and me on my motorcycle is perhaps my new user-name and avatar... put the bong down and pay attention b-man! I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED!!!!
So far I've done 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10. But I forgot if I left my toothbrush at your place before you left yours at mine.
i've had a lot of 9's lately - i get home from work and there are random "love your blog!" messages on my desktop. now i feel so slutty! oh who am i kidding - i am slutty. What is the equivilent of i forgot my panties in your car?
oh my god, I'm an e-slut!
To me, step 10 happens around 6 or 7. I think sidebar linking is much less personal than the in-home invasion of email or IM!
oh my god, I'm an e-slut!
I was thinking the same thing as I read that. :)
lol

B, is it ok if we just take this slow and see where it goes? If we move too fast I might just get spooked and run away... I guess I just need some space right now. Seriously, it's me, not you.
Although archive poking sounds really fun...
Apparently, I'm an e-slut too. I don't care though .... it's not like I want to go pick out furniture or something with you! ;)
My toothbrush is the PINK one Brico... and in 6 WEEKS when I REPLACE it... it will probably be PURPLE!
Hi I am Jen and I am a Blog-HO! Dear lord how did this happen??
crap- i seem to be a bit of a blogwhore. i have toothbrushes everywhere.
Ho crap! I'm at step 7. Does this mean I'm dating you?
after carefully re-reading this list I too fear that I am an e-slut as well. I've done several of these items on this list...oh dear........
No way!(in reply to your previous reply on your umm previous post)I need all the flirtin' I can get 'at my age' :-) I see you changed your avatar too. Cool! Was it inspired by mine? ;-)
hesbo??? is that like a male lesbo??
Man, I thought dating was complicated, now there are all these blogging rules, LOL
Okay, I don't lurk, I don't tag and I don't IM someone I don't know well. So, I'm 7 outta 10, does that make me cyber cheap? :)
I did get 3 TEXT messages on my phone from someone whose name I recognized from their blog I visited and commented on. Creepy. I didn't respond.
So driving by your house to see if I can tell if you're blogging is probably just implied?
I'll stop. I cant afford to buy more filing cabinet space for another restraining order right now.
I found you on Lance's site (who I don't know at this point what type of blog-relationship the two of you have) but I have to say, I must be easy. I don't need an introduction or anything to be thrilled if people link to me. I like to get around.
i wanna poke around in your...

Very clever. I hope I'm not offending anyone by jumping from number to number.
Huh, I never thought of the toothbrush analogy with the sidebar. Wow...that makes things kind of weird. :)
Good God! If that's the way online things are supposed to go, I've been screwing them the fuck up!
I think I did it all in order....sort of..I always feel weird popping in and commenting unless I introduce myself and try to remember how I got there (too much to drink?) *laugh*. I don't care who comes to mine, as long as they behave! (covers up sign that reads "Come to my blog, come to my blog")
