You obviously didn't either. Somebody bring me the learnin' stick.
You're both technically right. The Romulan Bird-of-Prey (from TOS, small white-ish ship with the bird painted on the bottom) did have a cloaking device, as did the Klingon (and Romulan) D-7 Battlecruiser. In the TNG era the Romulan Warbird (big and green) and the contemporary Klingon ships (Bird-of-Prey and Vor'Cha).
Now, go play. I have a phaser to polish.
Most of my "relationships" as a teenager and even a little later started online. There was no way I could ever approach a girl at my high school or anywhere else, for that matter. My self-esteem was so low that I didn't have to wait for the girl to say no; I did it for her. My only outlet was online, where you had a protective barrier between you and them. You got to let them see only what of you that you wanted and rejection wasn't so bad since you didn't then see them all the time afterward. In that environment I could approach girls and actually talk to them.
Most of my online relationships turned into real physical ones. I dated one girl for about two years, another for 8 months and so on.
My wife (whom I met online) and I have been married since December. We just bought our first house and both have successful jobs. I've socially adjusted and can make in-person friends much more easily now.
As an ironic foot note, I work in a high school now. Suddenly I'm the guy the girls like to talk to.

You should feel embiggened by your completely cromulent post.
