Theoretically these types of things start out as friendship with the dating aspect in the back of the mind. Jumping into that stage from the start when you know very little about the person is a bit much from both ends of the argument. That said, it's just a theory. It could also be that I don't know how to give those dating-type clues in conversation, and that theoretical advice states stating it bluntly is incredibly likely to make things weaker by comparison. 'Tis what I've seemed to deduce about how this all works thus far.

You should. You absolutely should.

Well, it's been at least partially acknowledged. For a niche site like Fuwa it's mostly guaranteed the interest is shared, in addition to a higher percentage of introverts, meaning the chances of said females being similar is much higher than something that would be more usable as a mass dating site. (Though it's certainly easier said than done.) Figuring out how to initiate communication at all in a non-creepy manner is something I'm still trying to sort. Right now all I have is hoping they jump onto FSG as an excuse to communicate before they leave (usually within a week) and then figuring out why communication drops off between me and them in particular (usually I seem to screw it up in some fashion, but I can't tell if it's the primary reason ), and taking that knowledge so I don't screw it up as badly the next time it comes around. After that, keep going until there's someone actually within dating distance who shows up. Confession: My Skype name is my real name, and I can't say if being separated from my Fuwa identity serves as a benefit or a detriment. As for the conversation of love up above, it's something I'd rather have controlled. It's a complicated subject, but full-on 'true love' (only experienced in my first relationship) leads to a bit of a failure to keep perspective. It's best to keep those under control and attempt to communicate with those who you find an interest in. After that just see if it increases over-time and go from there.

Okay, I think I'm awake now. Possibly. Let's see... Am I the only one who didn't actually expect the thread to get locked? And second of all, what do we do now? ><;;

Just woke up, unsure what to think of the development. Guess I'm still tired ;-;

Hey, it's just as nerve-wracking for me, and I actually had to put up a picture. xD

I find it sad that my waifu doesn't even have a confirmed birthday ;-;

Let's see... California, USA around San Francisco/the Bay area. 19, male, consider myself nice but have difficult meeting people. Desired gender female, preferably an introvert with an interest in anime/games/VNs. As for a picture, Let's see...will that do it? Is that how this works?

So, I actually ended up taking a picture. How is it? People are saying it's fairly well in-theory.

I...don't know. ...Is this a wreck? I think this is a wreck. SOMEONE HELP, IS THIS A WRECK? D: Excuse me while I have a minor panic attack behind my screen. ~~ 1 hour later I POSTED. I ACTUALLY POSTED. ...What now? This isn't a bad end, is it? ;-;

...Did we f*ck up? CONFESSION: I THINK WE F*CKED UP Q_Q

Seems that dating thread is going up. Or something. --- Thread is up, apparently. ...THIS HAPPENED, THIS ACTUALLY JUST HAPPENED. /hyperventilates Now how do I jump in without screwing it up D:

Theoretically, the sprites usually don't reach down that far anyway.

Oh, speaking of poorly planned marriages. http://imgur.com/gallery/qFuIr

...Wait, I forgot Lino was the groom. I HAVE FAILED. Q_Q

I can't tell if that means the groom/bride or just the really important person to the side. If it's the former, that's why the dating thread almost exists - if it's the latter, that's what Lino is for.

Systematic dating networks for all the romantically-challenged netfolk. Theoretically.

That sounds like a...technically correct but an over-complicated solution. I'm unsure what to think of it ><;;

Flutterz suggested that as well but I can't tell if it's a discussion the entire thread would want to have input in or not D:

.....I don't know how I feel about that ;-; Gaaaaaah, this is complicated. It's like a first-impressions for every female who ever visits fuwa (obvious exaggeration) ...Should I just try to think up something? How would Wonderfullyevil try to start it?

Serious thread would probably be preferred. Theoretically.

Does he stand out too? o_O ...That said, I have no idea how to not totally bomb something like that. That, and I'd rather Wonderfullyevil take the creep flame. Would this go in the member's lounge or the coliseum? ><;;

Well, it's a subject relevant to my interests.

Theoretically so, but the lack of a dating section means that those who are serious must either make a thread directly or contact said females within dating distance themselves - these are actions that have a very high chance of going into creep territory - those serious about dating also know it's something that would rather be avoid. I can't say myself if a dating section is the right choice, but that doesn't mean it's absence has no effect for those who are serious about it.

September 29th. The only one I recognize is that orange-haired lady from Bleach. I don't even like Bleach. Q_Q
