Title: Relationships
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-03-02 11:17:34
Hey, we had a "Relationships" topic at PSF 1.0, so I think we should have one here.  Talk about friendships, romantic relations, lack there of, anything relationship related.  Maybe you want to talk about dating habits, problems, etc.  You get the idea.  Lets discuss and grow together, maybe get some good tips. :)

Good idea for a topic, Raine.  Have no idea why we didn't make this sooner.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-02 12:47:48
*shrug* maybe cuz we talked relationships on the PSF chat when it popped up naturally and stuff. Rather than move the convo to a different thread lol.

But cool. Um. Stuffs good I guess. Friends are alright.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Miggs on 2017-03-02 14:54:14
Things are there, I guess.

Post by: Rainberry on 2017-03-02 23:16:10
Yeah, things are alright.  Uh.. not much to share.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-02 23:16:56
Hrm. Might be why no one thought to bring it back up XP we're all boring haha.
Except silver. Getting sneezed on by his GF haha

Wolf is a rugged man, with a manly man scent of man.  All the fawns fawn over my wolf wolf musk of manly manliness. 

Silver needs to get in here and share some flipped stories. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-02 23:19:18
Well he usually does in appropriate threads or when discussions in the PSF lead there. So it's more fluid to continue talking there than pick up and move elsewhere.

Fluidity.  It's how things flow.....

Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-03-02 23:44:21
So..... what would you guys do to go find some people to maybe start a relationship with?  I don't want some bar answer... like, what would you legitimately do for yourself?

Wow, jerk, Wolf! 

Really, APD.  Love happens unexpectedly.  If you actively seek it, you probably won't find it. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-02 23:47:25
Uh, well it's not like one day I decide, Ima Scout out for potential romantic interests. I found my SO when we were writing a review together, and we just had more time spent together and we clicked. I loved his humor. And well, I guess he felt so strongly for me he ended his relationship with his boyfriend to be with me.

Even in a relationship, I kinda think about what'd I do if we ever broke up. And well, let's say I have a friend or two I'd try to pursue and aee if it would work out if it didn't work with my SO.

For you uh, idk. EHarmony, Tinder?
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-03-02 23:48:54
Ha ha ha!  Thanks. 

I was just wondering what you guys have done.  Like I found my first girlfriend unexpectedly, and I don't want to use online services.  I want something more "Real" if that makes sense.  I know I am not going to find something like, tomorrow.  I've done the dating game before. ::)

I hear you can find great Brazilian women there.  Thanks. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-02 23:51:23
Well, online can be real. It makes things easier and shows you potential people. Finding them online isn't "less pure" of an experience.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-03-03 00:00:49
It just isn't "as real" in my opinion.  Part of it is seeing them, being close, and being WITH them.

You are right, online is easier to see people, and can be a good starting point to meet people. But nothing beats being there in person with someone.

There are some things in love that can only be expressed through touch, closeness, and togetherness.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-03 00:08:57
Uh, those dating sites meet you with people in your area. It's easy to have that "real time". You're not messaging someone in freaking England. You guys are acting like using online dating sites mean you never meet them or something lol
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-03-03 00:13:24
Never said that.  Right here I mention the good things an online dating format can have.

You are right, online is easier to see people, and can be a good starting point to meet people. But nothing beats being there in person with someone.

And besides... who cares? ;)  I'm not here to talk about the plusses and minuses of online dating.

Thing is, people nowadays don't try reaching out and talking. Especially guys. They've being told they should "bother the woman" or that it's harassment. These poor guys, too afraid to reach out today.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-03-03 00:20:28
It's true.... I can't reach out. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Wolfwood on 2017-03-03 00:21:17
If you can't reach out because it is harassment, then just harass someone anyways.  You're going to get in trouble either way, right?

(Don't do that). 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2017-03-03 00:23:01
Ha! Grab the bootay!
Just reach out, talk to co workers.

I'm seeing a BUNCH of my friends that I've done theatre with at my college in their show tomorrow afternoon. A handful of which I haven't seen since December, and some I haven't seen since the summer. I'm so excited to catch up with all of them.

Love comes unexpectedly.  When you search it, you won't find it.  When you least expect it, it finds you.

^ Yes.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-10-02 14:09:40
I kinda wonder if she liked me. But at the same time, I have no idea if she had a boyfriend either. And also, if it's a crush, it might just be that, a small crush, you know? Not actually love.

Only one way to find out Miggs.  Go talk to her more, find reasons to hang out, and eventually ask her out to coffee on campus or maybe spend a lunch with her if she would like.  :) 

You won't find anything out by not seeing her again.  @System423
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Miggs on 2017-10-02 16:40:16
If I can ever get in touch with her again, maybe yeah.
And if I had the balls to ; ;
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-10-02 18:17:43
That is the hardest part.

Is she not someone you would usually have contact with? 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Miggs on 2017-10-02 20:20:21
I mean, we talked though text a little bit, but like... I dunno. I'm not good at that. I always feel like I'm real weird around girls for some reason (Yeah, I know, I sound like a kid). I get kinda nervous sometimes that I can't be myself, because a lot of the ones here (in town) I feel wouldn't get my sense of humor or would just get annoyed by me.

That sometimes translates to the internet, where I feel like I'm bothering/annoying them. They always say I'm welcome to talk with them and stuff, but I dunno. I just feel like I come off as pushy or annoying.

You don't know until you try.  EVERYONE is awkward the first few times and EVERYONE is nervous, especially if you go on a date or just hang out.  You never know unless you try it.  You never know what might have been.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-10-02 20:43:32
I know what yo are saying.  You want to be you and you just feel others won't get that.  I felt that way too and still do a lot of the time.  But then you have to realize also that if they don't like ya, they don't have to hang out with you.

You barely know this girl it sounds like, just some minor texting and what not.  So it can't hurt to kick your safety box around you and give it some sort of effort, at least to experience getting out of your comfort zone a bit.  What do you have to lose in this case?  Luckily it isn't like you are best friends (yet) and you wouldn't want an advancement for a higher relationship to ruin said friendship if things don't work out.

if things don't work out here, you will probably just gravitate to what you guys are now, merely aquantainces, you might break off, or you might become better friends.  You don't know. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Miggs on 2017-10-02 21:10:29
I guess you're right. I could try some day, I just dunno when the time's right.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Soda on 2017-10-04 21:08:06
There's never really a right time or a wrong time.  (Unless like, meteors are blowing up around you)  You only set barriers on yourself.

So... welcome to the club.  I brought some little triangular sandwiches.  I like the double hand enthusiasm there, Numbers.  Thats good.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Miggs on 2017-11-21 22:31:36
Is it really enthusiasm?
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2017-11-21 23:06:45
I took it as enthusiasm.  It might just mean he is doubly single?

How do you become the most "Single man" on your block?  Is there like a checklist you go off of or something?

I want to know this checklist. 
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-11-24 12:50:25
Maybe based off of how long you've been single?  If you can't count all the years you've been single on your fingers and toes?
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Darrin on 2017-11-28 15:36:51
That would make the most sense too me.  Better then something like a hug meter or kiss meter... how many of those you got for the year. :)

Um so well... I've been in a relationship since 2015.

But if you read the ones that features my fursona Umeko, she is with Kane in there and well... Kane is my <3 's fursona *Blush* So yeah

So what is that... some sort of relationship site for brownies?  Bronies?  Uh.  There's gotta be deeper values then that I would hope.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Blurr on 2017-12-08 21:46:35
Yes it is a dating site for bronies. But it works just like a regular dating site all the same.

Well the responses are spaced out so nothing promising yet. But heres hoping.
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-12-13 21:54:59
Good luck, Blurr. :) 

Does it cost money there like other dating sites?  I've never tried them before, but I've heard some people get promising results from them.

That may not seem like much, but it's a hell of a lot for me :P

**Note when I say that I mean more so it's rare for me to talk to a girl face to face, solo solo, and in this case, meet them and in a sense share a sort of interest
Title: Re: Relationships

We're both making strides then. one of those girls I've been talking with on BronyMate, I actually asked out.

So, still waiting, not in any rush though

Yeah :/ he was super cute. But I guess, he didn't really have my sense of humor. He was funny, but not as out there as I like my humor. He's still a good friend though, he's gonna teach me how to ski.

He really wants to take us all, but he never says when so it's like, do I text him and ask or wait for him to say lol XD
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Blurr on 2018-02-07 22:07:49
That's always an argument I have in my head sometime. Like if a friend says they wanna do something and they don't bring it up after a while, do you remind them or wait for them to remember themselves?
Title: Re: Relationships
Post by: Death Blossom on 2018-02-07 22:15:06
For real, he's been wanting to do it since like December, and he brought it up at lunch Monday, and it's like okay.... But when you wanna do it man XD I'm too awkward to text and be like yo we doing it or not
