TV Company Seeks Virtual Lovebirds

My contact Zoe Dobson, Series Producer at back2back productions ltd, has contacted me again for assistance in getting in touch with romantic couples in the virtual worlds.

This time the production company is looking for couples that fall into either of the following two categories.

A) Are you about to meet up in RL for the first time?

TV Documentary makers for Sky TV are looking for couples who are about to meet up in real life for the first time.

We are hoping to demystify MMORPG^* relationships for a wider audience and show that relationships that form in-game, can indeed be genuine relationships that can move into the real world very successfully!

If you are interested in finding out more, please email zoe.dobson@back2back.tv.


B) Are you getting married this Summer in the UK?

TV Documentary makers for Sky TV are looking for couples who met in Second Life and are about to get married in real life.

We are hoping to demystify MMORPG relationships for a wider audience and show that relationships that form in-game, can indeed be genuine relationships that can move into the real world very successfully!

If you are interested in finding out more, please email zoe.dobson@back2back.tv.

Sentiments

For years now, I have desperately been trying to create an image of myself as a down-to-earth, rational man who only very occasionally is swept away by strong feeling of outrage, anger and disappointment with the human condition and social injustices in the world.

Then I get a picture like this pasted on my timeline on Facebook by my husband Tomais.

Seeing this I was immediately turned into a blubbering fool and was swept off my feet by mushy romantic feelings with tears of joy and relief in my eyes. At such moments I must secretly admit - at least to myself - that I am mostly ruled by my emotions although I try to give them a facade of rationality.

I don't mind getting tears in my eyes or weeping when I encounter strong and true emotions, but hate being manipulated to tears by heavy-handed sentimentality like in cheesy romantic movies or cute kittens. Or rather, I hate being manipulated full stop. Show me something true and honest and my emotions will come but don't try pushing me towards the edge.

There are two men in SecondLife whom I am heavily indebted too for conspiring to make a couple out of Tomais and me, without my knowing it of course. The excellent matchmaking team are Ziggy Starsmith and Rylan Sirnah, I highly recommend the two to anyone seeking a match made in heaven. How they got the idea of the wonderful Tomais and me as a couple I haven't fully learned yet, but I will always be grateful.

What I am wondering even more about is how they actually got us together, but the less I know the better maybe...
