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

YAY, I'm not the only one who uses emotes like crazy . It drives some of my friends nuts you know ^_^.

And I can understand from your perspective . I've been there, done that, gotten letters of "OWNED" written all over it, it's a cycle . But as my philosophy puts it...

Crushing is like Chess. Moving is the only way to win .

It drives my sister nuts too xD Especially because I never used to do it before I "moved" here ^^
my friends sometimes ask me "what does 'xD' mean?" which makes me lol...


Zan-sempai, you are full of wisdom .^.

Since then my normal policy with men is that I don't fall for the 3D kind... xD

3D kind?

I admit I kind of let the question of whether they have someone answer itself because (to me) its like I'm prodding for information that is not necessarily my business. For example, today a friend of mine (who wasn't too close) answered that she saw the movie with her boyfriend. A simple answer, but it solved the issue. You might be able to scoot away from a direct question that way (but it doesn't always work).

Aka Aurix "Our Kind" ^_^. Unless we're going as far as Haruhi's type...

Well it all depends on the comfortability of the parties involved...

For example, if my nieces were asking me if I had found a girlfriend yet (I've shared with them my love woes ), then it would be very easy to ask it directly.

However, reverse it to my uncles/aunts, and it becomes embarrassing (they ask ALL THE TIME!) >_<

To my friends it'll be like normal business

However, from acquaintances and strangers outside my ethnic group (aka anyone NOT Filipino, not implying anything racist, that's just how it is), it's going to be a bit awkward, and possibly suspicious in some cases

Plus it all depends on how reserved the person is. If they're loud and charismatic, they're going to take it quite nicely. But place that in the hands of someone shy and reserved, they might get embarrassed or even offended a bit =P.


You must assess the situation, and address it properly

Now if everyone can apply the love in this thread... to everything they do.  Create a positive energy and change the world for the better.

And my Favorite song:

[Zanibas]

Have you guys ever heard of MU's? (Mutual Understanding) . It's like both people acknowledge they like each other, but they don't become gf/bf and just continue on =/.

Does it not amaze you? O.o

[MadWolf]

It happens >_< Sometimes circumstances just aren't the right ones to start a relationship.

Lesley Downer, an author known for her books about geisha, has an article in the Telegraph today about Japanese companies that specialize in making divorces easier by setting adultery traps for spouses.

    In Japan, if you have the money you can sort out virtually any problem in your love life. If you want to get rid of an unwanted spouse, retrieve a straying one, get back with an ex or even get together with someone you’ve seen but don’t yet know, there are companies that will help you, using all the technology and expertise in human psychology at their disposal. Not so long ago Japanese wives put up with any amount of infidelity and abuse. A divorced woman was shunned and unlikely to marry again. But these days “people want to be happy”, says Tomiya. The result has been an enormous increase in divorces and in companies such as GNC.

    Tomiya founded GNC 16 years ago. It has branches across Japan. His staff perform all sorts of services, from trailing a straying spouse or looking into the background of a marriage or job candidate, to dealing with stalkers, domestic violence, sexual harassment, even hackers. But his main job is sorting relationship problems. In the past year alone he has dealt with 2,000 cases.

    Jobs such as separating Mr A from his wife take an average of two to four months. For this the client pays £2,500 a month, plus expenses.

I never knew this was a booming business in Jp

Wow i'd probably have fun working as a psychologist there. ^_^
