It'll happen to us all eventually though! Gives us time to think about the future and save up for such finances you know? xD Either way gaming and internet life other than work is about all.

Well I'm sure they actually have time to see you right? They may have found someone now, but that doesn't mean all of their free time should be dedicated to them! It's true though, at least we are all here for each other! PXR is a great community like that! it's also great to have thoughts for the future at least in thought while some are shown to be really effective (your artwork)!
Oh really? Near where I live, we've got a new estate being built (actually several) ALL around us. We're not far off the highway, so I get all the noise from the trucks, trains, planes and cars at night. ;( EVERYTHING. It's not really my fault that I don't go out. One, noone ever invites me anywhere anyway, and two, everything I love doing is an indoor activity. xD I moved away from the town I grew up in, so I don't see my friends there anymore, and I'm either too busy or tired to visit anyone else. True, true! I'd rather save and put myself in a stable financial situation tbh. I mean, I wouldn't want a significant other in my life until I can somehow support myself AND them.

Whenever I go out with friends anyway, they're always talking about kids or family or life goals, and like I can get into that. :/ Here I am talking about what I did at work last week and they're going on about being married or whatnot. I just can't connect with that. I feel like a social recluse, really, but there isn't much I can do about it. The online world is my oyster. :p

Maybe. But I asked my friend (he's called Mitch) at the VERY BEGINNING of February if he wanted to hang out, cause he moved to a new place and I haven't really seen in yet, and play Guitar Hero Live, and he comes back to me with "Oh, sorry, but I've pretty much got February booked out". .-. Uh, like what? That's a WHOLE month you can't see me because why? I mean I'm sure he's not busy EVERY day, and only if it's for a coffee catchup or something I'd be cool with that. I really don't like people that do that. I figure if someone wants to catch up, they're make time for it. I'm obviously not a priority anymore. ;n; and I haven't heard from him since. Thing is, I considered him a good friend, too. So I bought him both a birthday AND Christmas present last year while I received nothing. Don't get me wrong, I don't want some super-expensive awesome gift. I just wanted a card, and maybe a visit or something, but NOPE. I didn't even get that. That makes me sad, when you think you matter to a person and they don't even show it. Sorry, I ranted. n.n;; Thank you, Eric.

I know, I could hop on Match.com and look for girlfriends to date using that. My mom and dad used something similar to that (a non-website version, as this was before the internet) and my brother used it to find the girlfriend he's currently engaged to. And I've found fun and cool females, but they were already taken. One female Gamestop employee was really cool and fun to talk to, but she was already engaged to a guy that didn't really care for video games (>.<!)

I also think I would end up spoiling my girlfriend. I like watching and being there when people get excited and happy, and building memories to last a lifetime is something I enjoy doing, but my wallet and savings account seem to disagree. :P
I KNOW. Then my whole life would already be planned out. XD

Yeah, I mean I could go on ANY dating site, really, but that's not how I want to find someone. I'm not saying it doesn't work. Hell, I might do it EVENTUALLY if I exhaust every other option and grow old (lol), but I don't want to do it that way. I don't think finding someone should be a job, or a chore, it should just happen. Maybe not now, or tomorrow, or a year down the track, but it might some day.

I've had people online actually ask me "why are you not taken? You seem really cool!". And I told them it's probably because I don't get out much and I'm really shy to open up in person, so when I first meet someone they usually think I'm really boring. But the thing is, once I DO open up, I'm actually not shy at all. I'm totally crazy. 83 Haha. Of course I don't think most of my friends know that.

Ah yeah, my big thing is I REALLY love video games and anime/manga. I can't imagine going out with someone who ISN'T into these things. xD And that doesn't mean they're not nice people at all, it just means they're not right for me. Ya know? Don't worry, Neo, I'm the same. Although instead of dishing out money on expensive gifts, I throw my time into hand-made items, since I love doing all that arts and craft stuff. <3 Rather than being bought stuff, I prefer the little things.
