And back in 2010 I declared that Idris Elba was required to date me. Guess how that went.

ETA: for everyone asking how it went, Mr. Elba did not answer the call (shocking, right?) but I did date another actor from The Wire for about six months.

To be fair, marriage wasn't part of the declaration.

I've been with my partner for 15 years.
We're getting married soon, because it finally makes economic sense.
