Hey, you asked for it! The Love Thread! <3 For Valentines!

[Aurix-kun]

hehe... that's about it.  >.>

oh wait... another answer is "I already have a BF"

We all love this thread .

Heh... That's why some of us might not ask a girl out; because we don't know for sure if they have one or not.

Well. I'm still single; not "loving it" but I'm certainly content with it. I've made a ton of friends in the last few months thanks to Aikido, and I've been able to finally talk to a girl that I had been terrified of talking to all year thanks to a train issue, and I met another one (completely randomly) at my anime club who was in my Shakespeare class, though she didn't make any of the meetings, and we hit it off well (though I'm pretty confident she has a BF, so I won't jeopoardize the friendship I have).

Wooot, love love love~~

Love is when your GF stays by your side even if you're damn sick, and she dont care if she gets it too. ^^

[WhiteyMcTool]

Yeah, she doesn't have a boyfriend, it's just that she's got self-esteem issues, and one of our best friends is going through a bad breakup, so it's not exactly "love in the air," right now.

But damn, do I love her. I need to get on top of this issue after Anime Boston finishes. Or before. I don't need to be pining this weekend.

[Tragic]

Just go for it Whitey! You'll do fine.

Red - That's a good GF there. XP

[Aurix-kun]

I dont think so! Man, haven't you been watching Clannad? It's all about the timing! Ask her out now and she'll think you a vulture. If she has self-esteem issues, and you really do love her, then show her (gently) that she should have confidence in herself. Stay by her side, and she'll grow on you, so then, once her self-esteem has developed (and this thing could take months, let me tell you) then its quite alright to ask her, because you will have demostrated that you are someone she can trust (or moreso).

HAHA that is true ^_^ And I say go for it

xxxxxxx

If there's one thing I've ever learned about love, it's never to base my own love life on anime.

[Captn' Red]

Aurix has a very good point tho, its all about timing.

And herein comes the part where I graduate this year and we'll likely be heading off in separate ways come August.

So I don't have months. I have demonstrated an interest in her for the past month or two, however. But that doesn't constitute months in the way you meant it, I assume. I have been helping her with her self-esteem problems, having gone through similar ones in my past.

It's sort of do or die, I feel that if I don't ask her out soon, we won't be able to forge an even remotely decent relationship before the end of the year, and she's someone I could definitely see myself spending my remaining time in high school with, and possibly even longer if we pulled off the long-distance relationship thing.

We'll see what happens.

Ah... and therein lies the problem (now I see why you don't have months). Then... well, I would recommend that you do it [hopefully] after the dust from this friend's breakup settles. Give it one month, and offer to take her on a light date, whatever you feel comfortable doing. (My "comfortable" first date is the coffee date, which is pretty convenient at a uni, although I've never been on one.) Then you can still let your friendship develop, as you decide to meet outside of school, and also outside of the school framework.

Sigh, why am I so interested in these kinds of things???

People who think age matters are sooo wrong! Love has no limits what so ever. Never ever listen to anyone who tells you what to do about relationships or love in general because it just hurts to do something they say and lose everything. My friends call Plasmacaster pedo man coz of the age difference of 8 years and the fact he is hairy. I only ever listen to the odd few because they say "what ever makes you happy =]". They are the opinions which count most of all. I think they are just all soo shocked that I want to marry him ^_^ haha.

love you all! xxxx<3

I agree! Age does not count! I went out with a las that was 4 years older than me. People gave her alot cr*p about it but we didn't care. But shame that relationships over, cause I really loved her.

[Orion]

Looking back at the things I did when I was your age gives me a bit more "perspective". I would go ahead and take her out on that light Date Aurix... There is no pressure involved in going out with friends to eat or whatever. If you think of it as going out with a friend, instead of thinking that it's a date, it might be a bit easier. Also, don't talk about her old relationship unless she brings it up.

I have also dated women that have been older then me... Some by 11 years. Nothing had come of these relationships since they were bound down with children and I was not yet "mature" enough to deal with something like that so the relationships never went further then "friends with benefits" <chuckles>

I should think about it that way; thanks . But I think that she has a BF (not "used to"), and I'm certainly not going to get in the way, and I'm not going to ask about it (its simply a heart w/ a name in her MSN...). I haven't known her for that long, so it would seem nosy at this point, nor do I "love" her either, just a feeling of friendship right now. That being said, practicing asking her if she wants to join me for coffee (or in my case, hot chocolate ) at some reasonable period is a good way to gain the confidence to ask a girl for a real date.

I have another definition of love (Friedship tho..)

Helping a friend push is fucking car for 23984612384791 hours through the damn snow, in the deepest, coldest and darkest pitch of hell.

[Shuji]

ahh... "Just a feeling... Think about it"

Love can cause sooo much drama.
