Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: No idea. But somewhere around 1 - 2 years. I'm thinking more like 2, because I visited you in Boston and in LA.

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: Yes, you were nice to me. Not sure I needed any support. Money? You were a poor struggling musician, so what money? However you did send me some good tapes of songs that reminded you of me. I'm not sure I have the tapes any more. I think they melted in my car. But I do have the albums from which the songs came from. And you sent me a couple of letters when I went to study in Germany (although the letters were after we broke up). Also very sweet, because I was lonely at times, and it was nice to know that someone was thinking about me when I was gone.

Q4: Do you have any good stories of our time together that you would like to share with our readers?
A4: No, not really. Actually, there was the one about your other roommate with the ice cube clinking fetish...

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: Distance.

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
A6: I don't think I've learned anything from any of my relationships, which is why I keep making the same mistakes. But looking back - you certainly were very sweet.

Q7: Looking back, do you think our relationship was balanced? Did one of us put more effort in than the other? Do you think you had stronger feelings for me than I had for you? If so, do you think this had an effect on our relationship?
A7: Don't know. I'd say that I put more effort into the relationship, because usually I am the one to put more effort into relationships. I mean, I did fly out to Boston and LA to see you.

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
A8: Single. Happily so, but with a very nice boyfriend. I am a professional drunk. I manage a pub and live on the eastern seaboard 45 min outside NYC.

And Rob - I do think you've gone off your rocker.

UPDATE 9/06: Unless he chickens out or I decide to flee the country, on Oct 17th I will become Mrs. KC. Yep - I'm getting married. AAAAAAAAAAAAccckkkkkkkk!!

Respondent #2: "CW"
Q1: What year did we meet? What city were we living in at the time? What were the circumstances that led to us getting together?
A1: This is LAME, but I'll do it! 1977. Met at middle school. Everyone was really mean to you because you acted kinda weird and you spun around in the halls. You liked ABBA, and I thought that was really queer, but I admired you for being able to admit it!

Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: 12 years, off and on. Holy cow! I had NO pride.

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: Sometimes, when you wanted to fool around. You always pay for stuff when we get together now, so that kinda makes up for it.

Q4: Do you have any good stories of our time together that you would like to share with our readers?
A4: Not really, sorry. Except for the fooling around, it was mainly pretty awful. I had NO self-esteem whatsoever, and our relationship managed to repeatedly destroy what little pride I did have. Your Bar Mitzvah was kind of fun, though.

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: 12 years (off and on) was waaaaay more than enough.

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
A6: Not to take crap like that from anyone ever again. And I never have! So thanks, I think!

Q7: Looking back, do you think our relationship was balanced? Did one of us put more effort in than the other? Do you think you had stronger feelings for me than I had for you? If so, do you think this had an effect on our relationship?
A7: Totally unbalanced. I always liked you more and you knew it and treated me horribly!

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
Q8: Divorced (because I refused to take any crap!). I'm a teacher.

Respondent #3: "KD"
Q1: What year did we meet? What city were we living in at the time? What were the circumstances that led to us getting together?
A1: We lived in the same dorm all of 1984-85 at Michigan State, and we never met. I often wonder if we ever passed each other in the cafeteria of that dorm, me with my new-wave perm, my chocolate pudding and coffee, and we didn't know we'd end up married.

Anyway, we met the very beginning of the 1985 school year. My roommate brought me over to your unsanitary pink house where you lived with approximately 47 other guys. You were one of the only people I ever met that I immediately wanted to date.

I liked you all of 1985, but you did not like me back until May of 1986 when I had grown out said perm a little, and also I was tan. As a result I assumed you were shallow, which you kind of are.

So you finally called me after seeing me with the aforementioned tan, and we slept together about 10 minutes later.

Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: Our relationship lasted from May 27th, 1986 until sometime in August of 1986. I just tried to find my diary to get an exact breakup date but cannot find it. Where the hell is that diary?

Then we saw each other again on October 11, 1996 and we are still dating.

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: Hah! You maybe paid my way into the drive-in that one time. Why didn't I make you pay for things? God, I was pathetic. You were sort of very nice. You would say really good things. You could always say the right thing. But then on the other hand, you would go like four days without calling me, which in dating time is like 165 weeks. So you were nice and supportive when you were in the mood to be nice and supportive, which is really probably how all 19-year-old boys are.

Q4: Do you have any good stories of our time together that you would like to share with our readers?
A4: "Our readers." Who is gonna read this? If anyone IS reading this, you should know Rob Disner made up this whole survey while at work. Nice. Anyway, one time your dog humped my leg. That was a good memory. One time we were on the phone and there was a thunderstorm and we both turned out the lights so we could enjoy the storm. Aren't you supposed to get off the phone during a thunderstorm?

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: Oh, that was so sad. For me, anyway. So, you called me and said you were coming to East Lansing with all your friends and to meet you at Ville's house. I got to Ville's at like 7 in the morning so I wouldn't miss a moment of your arrival.

I was wearing a huge, black and white, short-sleeved men's shirt I got at the thrift shop and black Capri leggings.

Anyway, you finally got there and stayed for maybe an hour. You and your friends were driving away and I ran up and asked you to come in for a minute. I begged you to let your friends drive your fancy Mustang home so that you could stay with me a while longer. You, of course, would not hear of such a thing and left.

When you left the room (not before), I threw a beer bottle at the wall. Somehow this story has been exaggerated and all your friends think I threw the beer bottle AT you, but I did not ("RD"--I contest this part of the story).

You heard the beer bottle crash, paused for a second, then I heard you calmly walk out the door. I knew I had acted too nutty and you were done with me. Oh, it was the most awful feeling. I wish I could go in a time machine to 1986 and tell my weepy self that I would end up marrying you and it would be okay.

I did not wash the black-and-white outfit for months, cause it had your molecules on it. I was a mess.

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
A6: I learned you cannot get away with throwing beer bottles for dramatic effect. Actually, I didn't officially learn that at that time, cause I did dramatic effect things for years after that (I threw coffee on another boyfriend once. Oh, it had cream. It wasn't scalding or anything. Calm down.) But it was one of the times that added up to that lesson.

Q7: Looking back, do you think our relationship was balanced? Did one of us put more effort in than the other? Do you think you had stronger feelings for me than I had for you? If so, do you think this had an effect on our relationship?
A7: No. Yes, me. Yes, definitely. Of course it had an effect on our relationship.

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
A8: I am married to you. Since you last saw me five hours ago I have gotten up, given the cats a treat, wiped up the crumbs you left on the kitchen counter (did you make cinnamon toast?) and made coffee. I have mentioned coffee three times in this survey.

Respondent #4: "EB"
Q1: What year did we meet? What city were we living in at the time? What were the circumstances that led to us getting together?
A1: Well - I can't really answer the survey very well, because I don't remember our relationship being so much a relationship. It was more like, two bored people hooking up for a while, I think. I don't remember when, but we were in LA ("RD"--Must have been '91, because I still had my VW Rabbit.)

Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: I don't remember how long it lasted (month or so?).

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: I'm pretty sure you didn't spend any money on me.

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: Don't remember why we stopped hanging out. Did one of us quit (our job)?

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
Q6: I think I appreciated it more as a friendship. You were definitely fun to work with.

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
Q8: I live with my boyfriend (we just bought a house together). He thinks you're nuts too.

Respondent #5: "SB"
Q1: What year did we meet? What city were we living in at the time? What were the circumstances that led to us getting together?
A1: August 6th 1981 in a dirty Duty-Free store outside of the US-Canadian border crossing. I was living in Toronto, you in Detroit (which pretty much answers Question # 5). We got together probably out of boredom from being on a bus for three weeks. I was probably drawn to your musical abilities; you were probably drawn to my well-developed 15 year old body.

Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: It cannot have been much past the end of the month when the trip ended, but you probably remember it better than me.

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: For three weeks I assume you were nice, but I can't be sure. Supportive yes, you were a great pillow for sleeping on (you can insert that picture here). I am sure you did not spend much money on me, except for the Dumbo from Disneyland. I have saved all the stuffed animals my cheap boyfriends have gave me over the years, yours being the first.

Q4: Do you have any good stories of our time together that you would like to share with our readers?
A4: The only vivid memory I have is of us on the overnight bus trip to Nevada when we fooled around. I am pretty sure I was your first and I hope for your wife's sake you have improved since then.

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: We did not live near each other and you were a jerk and would not try to keep in touch.

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
A6: Long distance relationships suck. My next boyfriend lived in the same city.

Q7: Looking back, do you think our relationship was balanced? Did one of us put more effort in than the other? Do you think you had stronger feelings for me than I had for you? If so, do you think this had an effect on our relationship?
A7: Again, you probably remember this better than I do. I am sure I put in more effort than you. You unfortunately were the first of many like that! Let's see I put in all the effort, you none, how might have that affected our relationship?

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
A8: I am married to a wonderful man and have two beautiful children. I obviously survived you unscathed.

Respondent #6: "R"
Q1: What year did we meet? What city were we living in at the time? What were the circumstances that led to us getting together?
A1: Ok Rob...I think I know this one. We met in 1985, in the fall. City of East Lansing.

Q2: How many months or years (god forbid) did our relationship last?
A2: We were in some music theory class together at MSU.

Q3: Was I nice to you? Supportive at least? Did I ever spend any money on you?
A3: I'd say 2 or 3 months? My memory is a smidge foggy, but I'd say you were nice to me. Supportive?... seems like you were. Seemed like you believed in me as a singer and did stuff to encourage that... like play guitar, so I could sing stuff. Money? Yikes, I don't know. I don't actually remember going on dates, but do remember going to your apartment to sing songs and hang out. I don't think you spent money on me, did you?

Q4: Do you have any good stories of our time together that you would like to share with our readers?
A4: I remember when we first were dating that people in our music theory class thought you were my brother. I also remember having a blue shirt that had velcro instead of buttons. This is not to say that you took advantage of this fact. I don't think you did, i'm just remembering that I really liked that shirt.

Q5: What were the circumstances behind our inevitable breakup?
A5: The way I remember it is that I asked you what you were doing for christmas vacation... and you said... "I'm Jewish"... and it seems like after I got back from "christmas vacation" we weren't dating anymore.

Q6: Do you think you learned anything during our entanglement that helped you with your future relationships, or was the whole thing a big waste of your time?
A6: Hmmmm...well, it seems like you were a nice guy. I don't remember anything glaringly icky you did. Or icky at all. I seemed to have good luck with the guys I've dated, so I'm sure you just reinforced in my "dating" mind that there are nice guys out there.

Q7: Looking back, do you think our relationship was balanced? Did one of us put more effort in than the other? Do you think you had stronger feelings for me than I had for you? If so, do you think this had an effect on our relationship?
A7: I'm not sure we dated long enough to create some sort of balance, did we? As for effort put into the relationship...I don't really remember if anybody put in more or less. As for feelings...I felt like we both liked each other. I'm not sure I weighed out who liked who more.

Q8: What is your present marital status? What are you up to now?
A8: 39 and single. Never married. No kids (thank goodness). Currently I'm getting ready for the citywide yard sale tomorrow in the little town of 9000 that I just bought a house in. I've done a lot of interesting things and am loving my new life as a homeowner.

Respondent #7: "TO"
Declined to comment. She does look kinda mean, huh?
