Sent via PM since she's an AS member, shy, and therefore might not like having her picture posted in the forum dating thread. As you can see however, there is indeed ample photographic evidence of her cuteness.

Okay. I am willing to corroborate 0utf0xZer0's claims about his date.

Well, I believe when I speak on behalf of all AnimeSuki members that we are a respectable bunch that won't hate each other.

Kafriel · 2010-02-07, 04:48

It's the people that make the forums, not the other way round...there's always a hater in the mass :P
Still, I believe he was jesting, at least the general discussion forum is mature enough to get over most things. Oh, and one last thing...

Well, Valentine's is 7 days away (huh? My phone doesn't have the word Valentine in the predictive dictionary?)

I found some cute anime Valentine's day ecard pictures from a website called theOtaku (google it, because I can't be bothered writing out (yes, I gotta write them out manually) BBCode tags). I'm going to send them to my girlfriend over MMS.

On the topic of Valentine's, I always found gifts received in person to be best, maybe all the e-spam has reduced my attention. Do you think that a valentine's gift is a good way to start a relationship?

Animelover#1 · 2010-02-07, 06:10

For everyone who posted something for me, thank you

, Sorry - I'm too lazy to reply to them, I let the posts build up for too long

.
But I value all your opinions and read them all

However I must make some things clear, I don't want a relationship merely to pull me out of lonliness, I was merely stating that it Would/Could pull me out of lonliness. I want a lady for good, and not just some object to throw away when I'm 'bored of her'.

Agree whole-heartedly, send me those pics

From radiantbeam:
""the next card to be dealt" as you put it. Doing that will only put you on edge and make the current situation you're in much worse."

I was merely refering to the way things swing. I wasn't stating anything, really.... (also it sounded pretty cool

- I like quotes.)

. It's more convenient, though. If I need to access the internet, I don't have to age another year booting up my computer.

I'd buy her a box of chocolates (there was a big box, the size of an A2 sheet of paper, about AU$20. It was Ferrero Rocher), but remember, I'm a high-school student still living at home and without a job.

I'd say Valentine's isn't a bad idea to tell someone you like them. Hell, probably the best time to tell them.

I'd send her a hand-made card, college students also got no job

Hand-made stuff ftw. For Christmas I gave my gf a hand made jewelery set made out of red string. Quite symbolic if you know of a certain Japanese legend.

And Haru, it's not very hard to craft a simple thing. Just read a tutorial, fail a few times and then make it ^^ That's how I made the jewelery, though I have to admit to being quite nimble with my fingers.

Kafriel · 2010-02-07, 08:00

Paperwork's easy if you spend some time on it, I've never made accessories though...still only buying all sorts of bracelents, pendants, earrings and keychains

Thinking about it maybe I COULD make some sort of copper trinket, but with my current skill and equipment it would take forever to finish...

Not sure, about an hour or two of experimentation and practice on how to entwine the strings and see what resulting patterns you got.

Then it might have taken an hour to make the bodies out of the string, and in total 2-3 hours of gluing and soldering for the clasps and such.

It isn't the making which takes the longest, it's figuring out how to actually do it. I spent many hours just developing it in my head and trying different ideas.

But the result was amazing. The jewelery was plain and not very good looking, but my girlfriend loved them just because I had made them with my own two hands, and really put some thought behind it. Now she wears at least one piece of the set every day I think.

*yawn* okay...I'll get some stuff together if I can, and...*yawn*...figure...something...

Reverend Harem Mistress, actually.

And only in the Nanoha section.

And seems I'm back to the old "observe the boys but don't feel like approaching them" mindset. Baaaaaaaaaaaah.

Seitsuki · 2010-02-07, 23:08

oh.. just.. boys? again?

I just noticed the Evanescence lyric in your sig, RB. I'm so quick on the uptake! People should call me Quicky Controversy. Wait, no, that's actually quite terrible.

Moving right along, something that I've been considering is the importance of empathy and what forms it takes. I think we can mostly agree here that being able to identify with someone's emotions is foundational to a relationship, as it pertains to both positive and negative ones.

But what about the way in which that empathy is expressed? When your partner is receiving your emotions, do you like them to respond to your expression of them in kind, or is it enough just to know that your feelings resonate with them, even if they show it differently? I've noticed some people seem to take deep offense if they're feeling sad or angry or what have you and their partner's mood remains light. So what do you all think?

Kafriel · 2010-02-08, 01:26

I think age is an important factor on this one: I assume that younger couples would want to express themselves more, probably to erase any doubts about the state of their relationship, or to show that their partner certainly cares,etc. but after a few years being able to read the situation and act accordingly may be more appreciated, in a connection where words are no longer needed...for example one could shout about something they knew was wrong of them, so if the other reacted to that it could be taken as a sign of weakness and were expected to stay calm and forgive the former.
