I tried to stick to my assumptions about peoples' basic preferences for staying in long-term pair relationships versus poly... I expect you and scarpia would enjoy each other's company at, say, a dinner party, since you both have geek cred, lots of intelligence, and, at least, a common interest in food. But I also implicitly assumed "good couple" carried an expectation of more long-term than "date", which I sorta played fast and loose with (say, pairing me with a straight guy). So, if that question had been "date," I would've said "sure!"
Now I'm curious, would you have a different implicit assumption for the definition of "good couple"?
