Relationship Status

[Noblejanobii]

Hmm, parents can be a real hooky dooky when it comes to relationships. They can be very controlling at times, but I always blackmail mine. If you guys don't approve, I'ma drink and do drugs, and some other drama ***** which works.

But SLOANE!

Love is gentle, Love is wild.
But if you're not game, then it's just mild.
Don't be sad, and don't get worried.
Most of the time you'll get buried.
Love is never cruel, Love is never lost.
Not until you become the boss.
It takes two hands to clap.
Or just one for a big tight slap.

It takes time to hit the right one.
But it's better then being done.

@Noblejanobii;

Haha, thanks Sam. Hopefully things will change one day

[Neo Emolga]

Yep, single.

I just can't find anyone that even shares a few of my interests. Sure, I don't expect to find the perfect girlfriend, but it would be nice to find someone that I can relate to and feel comfortable with.

[Caite-chan]

I'm single and not rushing into anything. I'm not really looking and just let the guy come find me.

[Fistodragon]

Single here too :p The girl that I knew for a bit when we were kids moved awhile back. We were good friends and we tried dating long distance once but it felt awkward and weird. I have a wonderful personality but don't have a girl who likes what I like yet :(

[Dragon Master Mike]

I am single. I've never actually dated anyone, but I'm not particularly in a rush to. I mean, I'd like to, but it'll happen eventually. Every time I've ever had a crush, the person either was taken, or I realized that they were kinda completely crazy (Or both!).

[Chakramaster]

Well I just want a nice guy who likes Pokemon and anime/manga. XD Of course personality comes into that, too. Obviously we'd clash a whole bunch otherwise. I don't know, I guess I'm just negative when it comes to these kinds of things mainly because I've been "myself" for basically my whole life and I don't really have much to show for it. D:

Yeah, that was really bad, I'm sorry for you. 3: And me. And everyone else. xD When I think about working for the rest of my life JUST to afford to eat and live and maybe buy a house, it makes me so depressed I don't even know what to think lol.

Yeah for sure don't make it ALL about finding someone that likes anime/manga or video games. Someone who you can talk with or relate to and come to know and connect with really well matters too. Personality and all just makes that a plus especially if they can make you laugh, smile, or even not be able to stop thinking about them. The only reason it's hard not to be negative is because like you said you want to find someone that likes anime/manga and games/Pokemon. I mean it'd be hard to change yourself and changing yourself that much in the end just isn't worth it. You won't even recognize yourself in the end and it's just not worth it. Just stay your YOU and you'll be fine Gem. Your awesome as who you are now and we all here on PXR can see it. So don't go changin Gem! You're awesome! =D

Well I'm glad it didn't work out between her and myself it was WEIRD. Now I still talk with her and she's trying to pull away from anime (which she barely even likes in the first place) and now she's trying to move away from games. Though she still likes Pokemon. Plus there's an uhh.....weird story behind her that was going around school ID rather not talk about loudly. PM me if you wanna hear about it or Skype/text me and ask.

It's hard at a point in your life where you only live off a certain pay, are single, and still living with family to picture much different. The thoughts of buying a house, moving, and living with your wife/husband. It's really a lot to think about and it honestly probably won't end ANYTHING like you may think. Life takes us in weird directions, but sometimes it's just meant to change. There's sayings like "everything happens for a reason" because of things like that. You never know who you'll find or where life will take you, but we all keep moving forward one step at a time until life takes us to an end. Where even then life continues on even when we make that connection with someone else.

[Kentucky Fried Torchic]

It'll be eleven months for me tomorrow, making this the longest girlfriend I've ever had, and probably the sanest too. Which is nice.

[Sheep]

Happily taken since June 2011, and we have plans to get married soon (minus the fancy wedding and all that for now, heh). Can't believe it's been so long already. Before him I've only ever dated one other person for under a year when I was 16-17, it was a bad relationship but I don't regret it since it helped shape me into who I am today. Hooray cheesiness. =p

[SassySnivy]

You can't really blame someone for having standards, though. Everyone does, and they've got every right to. That being said, some people stick hard to their standards while others don't.

I remember when I got "set up with someone," it didn't end well. At all. Actually, both times that happened! So never let that happen to you.

It's not determined by luck, but simultaneously it is. Still, unless you try to meet new people, you might not get very far. But that's no biggie! Sometimes someone you only gave a passing glance to years before could turn out to make a huge impact in your life.

Storytime!

David and I got together by sheer chance. He was in one of my classes in my sophomore year (German), and I didn't know him. At all. He was just another goofball that happened to be in the same class as me; whatever. I made friends with another girl that year--like, REALLY close friends. A year later she said that she had her current German class with David (we weren't in the same class period that year) and she'd made friends with him. Sometime in the second semester, our German III classes went on a field trip to Washington University out by St. Louis because they were having some kind of German culture celebration. Come to think of it, maybe this happened in the fall. I can't remember....

The three of us were stuck in a group together. I hadn't formally met David until just that day. We all got along really well! We were just three goofy little high schoolers that just wanted to have fun. xD You know how that goes, lol.

Didn't really talk to him after that, y'know? Didn't feel the need to. There really wasn't anything there. I stayed friends with Liz for another two years after that (we're STILL friends, we just aren't as close because she moved 2 hours away and we always did things together IN PERSON anyway, we never really texted each other much). One evening on the way back home from Six Flags she asks me if I remember David from the field trip. It takes me a while, but yeah, I tell her I remember. She said that she kinda had a crush on him for a while, until he flirted with our mutual friend Katie, on Facebook. She was a little pissed about this and had sent him a message that basically politely said, "wtf", and she said he said that he saw her like a sis and blah blah blah, I guess this information really isn't all that relevant. My bad. :\

Anyway maybe a month later he messages me on Facebook out of the blue. We talk and he flirts with me a little and we get along great. I'm taken aback by how sweet he is, lol. So we set up a date for Six Flags that coming Wednesday.

I dunno, but by the end of that day I decided to give him a chance. Something felt right. I NEVER actually had a crush on David or anything of the sort, which is really odd, looking back. So we start dating and you guys know the story from there.



This being said, sometimes you have to get past a lot of bad apples. I went through about 5. There was only one breakup in which I still hold a slight grudge against that person. The others were understandable, despite seeming to come up out of nowhere. It was just a bad time, bad place, and probably a bad matchup.

But, uh, the one that I still hold a slight grudge against is the one where my friend hooked us up. I had this kid, Josh, for a lot of different classes in the past, so I knew OF him and vice versa. It was a bad hookup...we literally talked a couple of times, then we all went on a double-date to the movies, and we started dating. It was mainly because I felt pressured into it because he said that he already liked me so far and such. I told him that I wasn't sure about it, and then he talked me into it.

I was happy for a little while. Cosmetically happy, anyway. xD Just on the surface. It was like a, "oh yay I feel accepted because a cute guy likes me in a romantic way and I feel like this is what I've been needing and yaddah-yaddah" sort of thing. I don't think I was really all that into it, looking back.

The day of the Winter Formal for our school, I go over to his house (which I had been over to a few times before, so this was no big deal or anything). We kiss a bit and then he tries to unbutton my pants and I'm like, WHOA WHOA WHOA NOT SO FAST. I freak out, start crying (because this kind of thing had never happened to me before and it was scary), he takes it in stride. I didn't have sex with him, obviously, because something felt wrong. SO. WRONG.

So about a week later he breaks up with me over the phone / over text because he's a coward. One of his reasons was, "because you like anime and anime is for kids" (SERIOUSLY, I KID YOU GUYS NOT.), though it was pretty obvious it was just a s****y coverup for him being butthurt about me c***-blocking him. Still, I'm still infuriated over that reasoning because people who think that seriously have negative IQ and are cancer to society, and it reminded me that people like that actually do exist and just asdfasdfa

That was the ONLY breakup where I didn't cry. Nah, I was just pissed.

---

I got married young, but that's just how the puzzle pieces ended up falling into place, really. Also, David and I don't even share a lot of the same interests and we get along well. We don't always have stuff to talk about because of this, but that really doesn't bother me and probably does bother David a bit but you know, he hides his discomfort with that kind of stuff all the time so yeah *shrugs*

So long as the other person has an open mind, don't focus so much on someone having the same exact interests as you. Sometimes it's not all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes you learn more when you're with someone who has different interests than you. Just make sure you're on the same level about things, though. That's probably one big reason why David and I get along so well: we're both pretty open-minded and we stand on the same plane on a lot of different subjects.

Yeah for sure don't make it ALL about finding someone that likes anime/manga or video games. Someone who you can talk with or relate to and come to know and connect with really well matters too.

It's hard at a point in your life where you only live off a certain pay, are single, and still living with family to picture much different. The thoughts of buying a house, moving, and living with your wife/husband. It's really a lot to think about and it honestly probably won't end ANYTHING like you may think. Life takes us in weird directions, but sometimes it's just meant to change. There's sayings like "everything happens for a reason" because of things like that. You never know who you'll find or where life will take you, but we all keep moving forward one step at a time until life takes us to an end. Where even then life continues on even when we make that connection with someone else.

I didn't meant that was ALL, geez. What do you take me for, some shallow person? xD Honestly I'd just like someone to connect with, who might happen to like some of the things I do. And if they don't like art then gtfo it's not going to work. :3 I do have standards, though. But they're not like, impossible. xD

I mean that don't HAVE to like those things but, to me, they're a big part of my life and all, so I'd like it if I could find someone who relates to that. Also I would never change myself for a person. I am nothing if not stubborn. XD I will be me no matter what, even if that means not finding someone! I'd rather be myself and alone than not at all.

But WHO COULD PULL AWAY FROM ANIME? ANIME IS LIFE! ;n; Oh well.

At this point in my life I pictured things a little differently. xD I thought I would be living out of home, have a decent job and maybe some significant other. But nope! I'm still living with dad, I have a stable - if not great - job, and no person to even speak of. I've kinda reached that point where I feel like I'm wandering aimlessly and that's not fun for me. So I'm trying to fill it with drawing and writing and hoping something will change someday while I'm busy doing that stuff. In fact, I'm still open to moving overseas. As a person, I love change. The same thing day in and day out bores me. So moving somewhere other than Aussie would be awesome! But, of course, that includes finding a job too, cause no way am I moving overseas without at least some kind of job prospect!
