Cyrillej1 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Confession: Reading about the recent advice threads about online dating, I was reminded about one time I tried to help a friend set up a profile to meet people. He showed me the picture he put up, and I told him to change it to one with better lighting and with him smiling. I didn't tell him the main reason I thought he should change it though... he looked a bit serial killer-ish in it Quote
Zodai Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 After coming across this, I am now tempted to ask Imgur for dating advice. Quote
Flutterz Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 After coming across this, I am now tempted to ask Imgur for dating advice. You're planning on asking a community that has 55% singles for dating advice? Bold move, chances are there's a reason they're single. Quote

Flutterz Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Well, it's better than the situation right now at least. xD Just say "fuck it" and hole up in your house, it's worked wonders for me! Quote

Zodai Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Confession: After missing 4 pages of this thread I'm really lost and don't know what the hell is going on. Krill had a stroke and everyone is having mental breakdowns over the frailty of existence. Aside from that I'm still attempting to find a mate. Just say "fuck it" and hole up in your house, it's worked wonders for me! But that's what I've been doing all year Q_Q Deep Blue 1 Quote
Flutterz Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 But that's what I've been doing all year Q_Q Trust me, the longer you do it the better it gets. And let's face it, you're probably not going to marry the first person you have a relationship with, so why ruin a perfectly good streak? #HikikomoriMasterRace Quote

Lasted about a year or so. Though we never met up in the physical plane. Quote

Zodai Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 So? Did you enjoy being alone immediately afterwards more than you do right now? Not immediately, but I can say that the experience gave me enough innformation and perspective to do better next time around. It was shit but it was shit that helped me improve, you could say. Quote

suikashoujo Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 The only relationship I've ever had lasted 3 days. My friend thought she might be into girls, so she asked me out as a sort of experiment. She came to my house the day after asking me out, we kissed once, and then 3 days later I got a message saying that she changed her mind, and "didn't want a relationship yet." which was fine by me, as the idea of having a girlfriend to stay in contact with terrified me to no end. What wasn't fine with me is that maybe 20 minutes after we stopped talking about it, she said on Facebook that she was in a relationship with some guy. So much for not wanting to be in a relationship. Since then, I haven't thought too much about trying to date anyone. I'm not opposed to trying it in the future, but right now I'm taking solace in 2d.

Zodai Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Shit is shit whether you're better off with it or not. At least that's my way of seeing it. I feel like a good relationship is better than being single, but that the process of a 'good' relationship requires going through failed ones multiple times in order to know what works and what doesn't. It's as much about growing as a person as it is the relationship itself. The only relationship I've ever had lasted 3 days.

It's something I think about consciously on my end, but the prospect of finding a girl to serve as even a start point is difficult enough to begin with. I feel like I can do well enough once contact has actually been established (theoretically), but finding a fellow anime;VN fan/gamer/aspie (pick one) within a reasonable distance is difficult enough as-is. Preferably going long-distance again wouldn't be a good idea since I'm still too hikikomori to go traveling without my family Quote
LinovaA Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Confession: I don't think a relationship is a good idea for me right now. I am not in a place in my life where I feel I am stable enough to handle being with someone. I feel like all of my emotional baggage would simply drag the other person down, and I am simply not ready to open my heart to someone again. Quote

Just make sure Ren doesn't find out about your IRL yuri, he'll never let you live it down The way I am right now, I could (probably) overcome myself and do things like going outside or using an online dating site which would increase the likelihood of me being in a relationship which comes with its share of positive and negative things... or I can just sit around at home playing video games and VNs and not care about it too much (and sometimes half-jokingly complain about it on the internet). When people say they want to be in a relationship what they really mean most of the time is they want to be in a good relationship, and if you're inexperienced the likelihood of ending up in a bad relationship is higher. That's ignoring the fact that even good relationships will have their share of bad moments and will probably not last. Quote

Personally I think I've stated before that dating-specific sites tend to be a bit off from my end. I'd prefer to meet them somewhere I frequent internet-wise so we have a common interest pre-established. Quote

To be kissed by Suika what a lucky girl~ Just make sure Ren doesn't find out about your IRL yuri, he'll never let you live it down I bet he already knew, that's why he's constantly teasing her about it, lol.

I am not in a place in my life where I feel I am stable enough to handle being with someone. I feel like all of my emotional baggage would simply drag the other person down, and I am simply not ready to open my heart to someone again. My only emotional baggage is the fact that I've been single for the number of years I've been alive. Seriously, my life is perfect, and the only way it could get any better is if I had mountains of cash. Oh, and if I didn't have this damn acne problem ruining my skin. Is that an emotional problem? I really don't care, so I don't think so. Confession: I had to go to a religious retreat for school, and we had to talk about our problems. I tried not to laugh at some of the kids, and when it was my turn to say something, I literally said "My life is perfect compared to all you guys, good luck with your problems." The next day, a teacher called me out and said I had offended some of the kids in my group and that if I kept it up, I would have to leave the retreat. Quote

TexasDice Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Being piss-poor is an excellent cop-out for this topic. I couldn't sustain a relationship with a pigeon in terms of pure finances. B0X0R 1 Quote

Don't close yourself off completely. I know~ I guess sometimes it's just hard to let go and open up to others sometimes. I am sure I will open up to someone, someday. It's just not something I can force. I imagine it will just happen naturally. I couldn't sustain a relationship with a pigeon in terms of pure finances. Don't worry, we have excellent alternatives that can help with that~~~ https://vndb.org/v7836 Fred the Barber and TexasDice 2 Quote
