ITT Ronery fantasies Pt. 5.1! KZN
Continued from>>705482and >>707016, the latter of which was deleted for unknown reasons.

SO, without further ado. ITT we discuss our ronery fantasies. (Relationship troubles and other such related material is fine too.)
Except this time, every post must be accompanied by a /c/ image, related or not. This will hopefully prevent the thread from being deleted.

Pic semi-related. I really like the Baltimore aquarium. I think it would be a really nice idea to go there on a date with a guy...

I'll drop this one here.

As part of the fantasy, setting is important. Is there a place, somewhere in anime, that would be the dream roneryverse? Someplace your heart aches to be, as much as it does to be with someone there? For me, the answer's simple.

I've been watching these threads for awhile now... perhaps I'll start participating more (I think I posted once in the first thread). I also think I'll try stopping in that IRC room in a few minutes...

Anyways, I feel I might share my current ronery feelings I haves for an online friend I've known for a couple years now... I need some preparation time though... I don't discuss this every day, you know?

So, in these forums I regular, I somehow got to know and became friends with this female user. I had joined months before her in '05, but we were from around the same era of the forums. Quickly, she got promoted to moderator status, and in eventual time she became one of the admins.

Over the years I've gotten closer to her. We have lots of similar interests and views on matters, but our personalities are different enough to make it so that we aren't lame clones of each other.

I've pretty much known I had a crush on her since I met her, and it's only gotten stronger over the years. However, I feel childish for feeling so, I mean, it's over the internet. I don't know what her face even looks like. (I have heard her voice though... she's 20, but she has such an adorable, girly voice) I know my feelings are true though.

I fear that if I ever told her, I'd ruin the friendship we've built and make things awkward and forced. But there's always that voice in the back of my head saying there is the chance she feels the same... I highly doubt it, though.

Aww, that's a long time you've known her. Do you know where she lives?

Also, the voice in the back of your head is right; it is possible. Let the voice get louder.

Word of advice though, be sure to check if she currently has a boyfriend, real low profile like just so you don't end up saying something that WOULD ruin your friendship right away.

Though the relationship was drab and did not end well, I would enjoy not being as ronery as I am now in the settings that were in Byosoku Go Senchimetoru. I mean, it would at least make a fantasy such as that memorable.

I would wake before my lovely wife, open the curtains and just look at her peaceful face as the sun would shine on while she sleeps. Id make some coffee for us, we would drink it while reading the newspaper, her hair caressed by gentle breeze coming from the window I opened while ago.

Oh man I dont want to get drunk again so I guess its best to stop now.

I've been living a lie... I'm currently engage to someone i don't love, yet the one i yearn for is 2000+ Miles away..

She still loves me, more than anything, despite the fact that i'm engaged. She is actually kind of thrilled (for me), never been known to be a fake so her enthusiasm is genuine. I'm glad she's happy for me, but i know deep inside she wants us to be together.

And i know in my heart that that's all i want... /c/, how can you be between two wonder women and yet still feel lonley...

Well thats simple, you're lonely because you don't love her but the one you love is too far....seemingly unreachable. Get ahead while you're at it and tell her you don't really love her. If you at least care for her don't let her wait. Do what you know is right...Be happy.

So you're engaged with someone you don't love?
Why? and if for just the luls of being with someone, you are being pigdisgusting.

If like previous reason, for not being lonely, then I hope you get run over by a bus. Do you realize how unfair you are towards this other girl? I'm not talking about the one 2000 miles away from you, but the engaged one.
Ass.

I moved away from a diffrent country to be with my current husband, in the states.

It takes alot of guts and will-power to do something like that, if you don't have a strong-enough heart to do so for the other person, then you're just deluding youself.

I was actually in a pretty similar situation years ago and still call many of them dear friends. Bonding really can happen over the internet. But if it's been years and you STILL don't know what she looks like, there might be a reason why. I'd say brace yourself and proceed with caution. You're less likely to be hurt that way and less likely to hurt her if you suddenly lose interest when you see her.

Also realize that things may be GREAT when you're friends just talking about games and shit, but things change when you're in a relationship. Her personal issues become YOUR personal issues and vice versa. Not saying she's crazy or harpoon worthy, just that everyone has their problems.

... Me? ... I just want to be back in my girl's arms... She gives the best hugs ever...

That's one reason I admit I stay away from romantic relationships. There's so much more at risk, and so much more pain that can be had. I choose to avoid it and maintain friendships, long-term deep ones that have their own joys, and don't come with the risks of hurting another that romance can.

I've learned to accept wanting what I can't have, or shouldn't; as far as things...yes, I admit there's been times where I've wanted more, but I just keep things level. And it works out, honestly; people find the happiness they deserve. And I get to enjoy it too, and be a part of their lives still. Satisfied is a good question. Perhaps not, personally, but I can live with it. And take joy in what I have.

I'm just weird.

Well, I think it's somewhat of a strength to be able to accept all that. And yet, you don't have true satisfaction, it seems. Perhaps, one day you will find someone that you want to have more with. Perhaps that desire will make you strive to take the risk of hurting yourself/the other person.

Because everyone has to take risks in life, sometimes...

The relationship I'm in now was a HUGE leap. She was coming off a huge breakup and I was in a relationship I was growing increasingly disinterested in. Not only was I faced with breaking hearts and ruining friendships, there was no guarantee this other girl would see me as anything other than a friend. On top of that, she'd been dating again and it was only a matter of time. My body sort of made up my mind for me and I kissed her. I've never in all my life been so happy I'm impulsive.

tl;dr, Regret sucks worse than pretty much anything else. There's always risks and nothing is a sure thing. Have patience and be diligent and everything will work out the way it's meant to. Best of luck, ronery Anons.
>> Frank
>>712852
A strength and a weakness, perhaps. But such is life; I simply am...the way I am. Maybe if someone does come along, that would change, though I really would have to question the desire - and medical credentials - of someone actually interested in yours truly. But that's another story anyway.

Still, following your own advice is a good thing - and I think you should reach out to another, if they really are that special to you. Even just to let them know your feelings; I admit I'd go that far. But at the same time, there is...a refuge, perhaps, in making and keeping the friends rather than the stormy seas of true love.

Though one can never experience the true wonder of the ocean if one never ventures out of the bay.

So I got trolled in that place.

Living a lie, eh? Been there. Done that. Wish I still did that. My girlfriend (totally made up) was a figment of my imagination for the sole purpose of status. Yeah, you know? Having a gf (or bf, if girls read this) means something, right? That's what I thought at the time. When I started my 11th grade year (when I made her up), I remembered that a soon-to-be-acquaintance was coming too. I told her that I'd watch her. Nothing wrong with that, right? I wasn't supposed to like her, no. But that's the thing, though: telling yourself something like that will make you end up doing that. But I did. And I only kept that figment of my imagination so I would have a reason not to like her. That hurt me, or more rather, I hurt me, for a long, long time.

Then! I decide to drop my imagination (the coverup went perfect) and get into the game. Only to figure out that I'm too much of the good guy that I told her everything she needed to know to be with someone...else. And everything I told her was experience that came from...well, nothing. But it worked. And then I came home that day (near the end of school) just to realize how I screwed myself out of a shot at being with her. -_- But that's what good guys do sometimes. It's almost like a posthumous award.

I could only find a watermarked cell of the shot, but ever since seeing Shamanic Princess 6 years ago I have dreamed of having someone kiss me like Kagetsu kisses Tiara in this scene.

Currently, I'm head over heels in love with a guy who's pretty much everything I had ever hoped for in a partner. Even though I know his bad points he's still all I had ever imagined. However there is no hope; he probably has no idea how I feel, and that's just as well.

I know we'd be great for each other, but the problem is that we have totally different goals in life; goals that would lead us to opposite ends of the world. My dream is to live and teach English in China; he has no interest nor desire to live overseas, he wants to stay in America.

If I lose my opportunity to be with him, my heart will break but I will have the ability to glue it back together again. If I lose my dream, no matter if he loved me more than anything else in the world, I know that the heartbreak would kill me. I can live without a man, but I know I couldn't survive in "exile" for the rest of my life.

I figured that choosing between my dreams and a man would happen someday. I just didn't think it would happen so early on in my life.

tl;dr I AM SHO RONERY

i am dating a girl whose feelings for me are just to tide her over, because in reality she is in love with a guy who's blown her off for four years now. he still talks to her and is a decent friend to her, but he cares 0% about her life or anything related to her besides her large breasts/figure.
i've been with her for a year, good friends for about three. despite all the time i've spent with her(in the thousands of hours), she still sees me as below him and if he ever considered her as someone to date, she'd drop me for him in an instant.

i don't know why i'm still with her, it's probably because i'm too shy and don't really want to put the effort into spending time with other girls. i really and truly do love her with all my heart, but it hurts to know she doesn't reciprocate them.

For several years I've been manager at a local fast food establishment, and near the beginning of that time this 15-year-old girl had a severe crush on me. She wasn't very shy about showing it either, but I being almost a decade older than her, I had no desire to go to jail and told her rather bluntly to leave me alone. It was awkward for a while after that, but life went on.

Except of course that I'd liked her attention a lot more than I'd let on, and reluctantly came to realize I'd developed quite an attraction to her. I didn't "wait" for her, I lived my life and dated others, but she was always in the back of my head somewhere.

Finally this summer she was dropping hints again, and I knew that she wasn't planning to return to this job next summer after graduating from college. What the hell, only live once, etc. and I finally decided to ask her out. Damn, did she look happy when I asked. The very day she was no longer under my employ we went out for a drink and she got rather drunk, told me how much she loved me and...

Disappeared. She avoided me for the next week and went back to college without saying goodbye. That was just over a week ago and now I'm strangely numb about the whole thing. I guess after all these years of avoidance my instinct is to run away too, sigh.

I was sorting my wardrobe and remembered this one.

Sometimes I love to buy over cute underwears, but because they usually have too much lace, ribbons and other decorations on them I can't really wear them under clothes. That's why I'm keeping those underwears safe and waiting for that day when I find someone I could show them and wear them while being with him.

Oh ronery anons, it's been a while since I was at my.. roneriest, but right now I am at the brink of returning to that place once again.
My inevitably tl;dr, shoujo-like, and unnervingly Absolute Boyfriend-esque story (pic related; surprisingly good series, by the way, think Chobits in reverse by Yuu Watase) begins just a little over one year ago, with my three-year, formerly perfect relationship slowly losing its luster.

My best friend and I (male and female respectively) had shared a mutual and obvious crush for well over a year, and one day he finally told me there was something he wanted to say. Then, he made me wait three months, and at last confessed his love in an email. In retrospect, this is a pretty bad way to begin a relationship, and no official Big Question was ever asked. But nonetheless, I was happy, and we became a couple.

We were extremely happy. He was a video game addict, an anime fan, a general dork; basically, we were very similar. And at about high school freshman age, we were very much in love in that naive, ecstatic sort of way, that we were sure we were the one couple that was really going to last forever. I'm quite the drawfag, and I poured almost every spare moment (/c/ time excluded) into creating drawings, stories, even Flash and RPG Maker games for him.

However...
>> J-chan
     File :-(, x)
(now with rushed MS Painty goodness!)

When I presented these things to him with flushed cheeks and (in my mind, anyway) big sparkly eyes, he would accept them with a thank you, look at or play them briefly, and put them aside. In particular, I spent the months leading up to our first-year anniversary eagerly updating him on a secret anniversary project (a CD stuffed with art by myself and many other people, stories, and a short animation) that I devoted hours and hours to. At last, on the day, I gave it to him and.. received nothing but a thank you.

Well, I thought, it wasn't as if I should be expecting a gift anyway. I didn't want to be that kind of girl. And that in itself wasn't enough to spoil our great relationship, which continued for close to three years. Over time, I noticed more and more that he was less attentive, less appreciative, more impatient with any depression that might come over me (I had a lot of self esteem issues then, which he helped me come to terms with a great deal early in our relationship. However, as time wore on, he got tired of hearing anything like that, and I silently relapsed a bit).

The first glow of happiness, though it lasted much longer than usual, was unquestionably gone. However, I was far from miserable, and I believed still that we would go on to live out our lives together, and that speaking up about my discontent anymore would be to kill a relationship with much less issues than most. I chided myself for being so needy.

It was as the feeling was growing stronger, as my home life was becoming rougher, and as we began to argue increasingly.. that he appeared: the equivalent Night to my current boyfriend, Soshi.

Curly dark brown hair, pale skin dotted with freckles, brown eyes with a green ring around the pupil, and a warm smile directed only at me.. Physically he was the perfect balance of uber-moe cuteness and a suitably masculine figure. "Night" is an extreme cat person, brilliant with computers (and nothing wins my heart like a literate typist), has excellent taste in anime, music, and games, and is very much addicted to MMOs.

He also happened to be 21 (I was nearly 17 at the time) and, I soon gathered, in a relationship even longer-lasting than mine. But none of this kept us from quickly becoming very close friends, mostly by way of AIM.

I knew him through another friend, and we had gone through chatting phases on and off throughout the years. But right away, this one was clearly different. His words put a smile on my face like nothing else could, and he said the same of me. I soon gathered that his situation was in a way parallel to mine; a relationship (this one taking place with a few hours' distance between them) in which he was approaching a level of misery, but felt unable to end it after so long without a large reason. While relationship talk was minimal at first, our friendship soon found us rushing to talk to each other each day, staying up late and waking up early to share hours of time online.

In what seemed a mere subplot, I admitted to my boyfriend that I was bisexual, and his reaction was considerably more upsetting than I'd anticipated. Maybe it was because of this recent disagreement, but when a few days later I ran out the door after an upsetting clash with my mom, it wasn't his number I dialed.

I didn't call "Night" with any ulterior motives; any thoughts of replacement, or testing, or cheating. I didn't think of anything at all when I called his number instead of Soshi's. I just knew that seeing him would cheer me up much more than anyone else probably would. And I was right.

Even though I didn't tell him it was because of a fight, I could tell he felt a little awkward about it. Soshi wasn't too pleased to hear of it either, but he dismissed it (a little too easily, I felt, which turned out to be correct). But before long that first awkwardness was gone too, and he and I were hanging out more and more, playing games at my place or walking around in the summer air.

The first kiss came shortly after I told my boyfriend I was having some problems with our relationship, and it was spontaneous, romantic, and completely natural- all traits that this kiss and this relationship did not share with the first one. And though that probably wasn't the right way to determine it, we knew we couldn't go on with our current respective partners when a much truer love was right in front of us.

To belatedly make a long story short, we each had our own painful breakups, and (at an anime convention, appropriately enough) he finally asked me out in the way I'd always wanted to be asked. Our official dating began about five months ago, and it's been amazing. "Night" and I have made serious plans for our future after I graduate, and it's with his help that I've overcome a lot of problems with my family. This was, unquestionably, it. Our happiness, our physical and romantic chemistry, was- is- undeniable.

And then the inevitable bombshell came. But it was not due to either of our actions, and that's what made it so hard to deal with.

(whoo, next part should be the last, sorry. in case you didn't notice I apparently need to get this off my chest.)
>> J-chan

One of Night's parents moved in with him (not the reverse) a little while after we met, and has always been a little psychologically unstable. I'm trying to be vague here in the unlikely event any acquaintances are here, as this information was meant only for me. But while I was on vacation, this parent committed an act of such extreme depression that Night, who I'd been calling or IMing while I was away, suddenly dropped out of contact with me for the rest of the week. I was really worried, and relieved when he was online when I got home, but he wouldn't tell me what had happened until days later, after I got somewhat angry with him for disappearing to go out with a friend without warning. Of course I felt bad and asked if there was anything I could do, but- in a tone that showed he had been thinking for days before this decision- he told me that his parent had to come first, and that being in a relationship with me was too hard right now.

I was stunned. In a very tearful way. I tried to protest that I could support him, that I'd stop needing so much attention. When he logged off of AIM and wouldn't answer his phone, I came to his house and he reluctantly talked to me in his car.

The change made my heart plummet. He wouldn't look at me, resisted my embrace, sighed and told me I was only making things harder. To him, I was just making the apparent breakup more painful. But to me, my happy relationship and my bright future had suddenly disappeared, because of something that I hadn't even known about until just a few minutes prior. I spent the night trying to recover from my very distraught state, formulating reasoning that would change his mind, or at least make him see hope. Because while I can stand being his friend for now if it will help him, I don't want to let him give up on the future he wanted with me because he feels he has to commit the rest of his life to caring for his (very unstable and ungrateful) parent.
>> J-chan
     File :-(, x)
He told me via email that he would be taking a few days off from talking to me because it was so painful. Just today he came online again, but said that he didn't want to talk about it, instead asking with vague interest about my new job and similar things before wandering off again.

I don't know where we stand right now. I have a text file just full of things to say to him, telling him not to give up hope, telling him I'll always be there. I know, and he admits, that he still loves me just as much, and wants to live out our lives like we always planned. But he just won't talk to me yet, and I've never been so stressed or emotional in my life.

Oh, /c/, I'm sorry for all the tl;dr, but... for the first time in a very long while, I'm ronery too.

Not at all; I ended the first relationship because my feelings for him were so strong, and his were the same. If I give up, he'll just spend the next several years, if not the rest of his life, in this crappy town alone with the parent he's trying to take care of.
I mean, if he wants to be friends for now, it's okay. It's his state of mind that I'm worried about; he used to be really depressed and resigned and became much happier through our time together, and I don't want him to bounce right back to that original state.

Oh my God... My situation is so eerily similar, it HURT to read this... only, by the sound of things, your "swap" went way smoother. Replace "needy parent" with "needs to focus on school" and you've got the situation I'm bordering on. I'm usually very overconfident on the outside, but I really have no idea what's best for us right now. All I can say for sure is I'm willing to wait, to hope, and to see if I'm what makes her happy in the end.

>>720555
Possibly. The catch is, he doesn't want me to run into the parent in question, because as soon as that blasted person suspects he's in a new relationship s/he will do everything possible to sabotage it. He also has a way of detaching himself if I try to press him into talking when he doesn't want to; even if I manage to see him, he seems to become pretty cold, and although I'm not normally an emotional, crazy girlfriend (believe it or not), seeing him do that makes me want to bawww.

As many times as I've thought about barging into his home, informing his mother that he's mine now, and dragging him away.. I don't know if he'd forgive me. As much hell as she regularly puts him through, he clearly still cares about her a lot... Basically, if forced to choose between devoting his time to one of us, he'd take care of his mom right now because her situation is more urgent. (Well, that's basically what choice he *has* made, I guess.) I'm willing to accept that, but I don't want him to think he has to flat-out choose, all or nothing, y'know? He ought to be able to take care of her and still have me to give him love and support.

It's been my own personal experience and that of others I know to blow things totally out of proportion. Maybe it's just the urgency of youth, I don't know. Everything always seems so final. But the truth of it is, if you really do love each other, you can survive the distance. Emotional distance can at times feel impossibly suffocating, I know.

Whenever she's being distant, it helps for me to give her space. 9/10, we both end up missing each other like crazy. It depends on how stubborn he is, of course, but I bet money he misses you.

J-chan, it's true that people can change. And I'm sorry that this happened the way it did, but life circumstances can do that to you...still, it would have been a lot better if your guy was a lot more open with you in the beginning. I mean, it isn't as if you'd never have met these people at some point.

Now, speaking as someone currently caring for an invalid parent, it does take a lot of your life - but I don't have the psychological pressure he's under from what seems like a domineering parent, and at 31 I've outgrown the intense youthful need for things - or else I just gave it up for never finding it in the first place; I don't know which is true. Maybe both.

But I'll also say this; if you love him that much, and he cares about you so much it hurts...then I'd wait for him. Odds are...at some point in the future his life is going to change again. But what you can't do is try to force yourself back in, and "take him away" - because he CAN'T accept you in that way. It'd just cause a tremendous heartbreak, you can't force someone to change their ways because you want them. Imagine if the roles were reversed...

I believe, from what you say, he still loves you. And you still love him. Keep that, and cherish it; if he does come back to you in the future you'll still be accepting and ready.

Thanks very much, your words and those of others in this thread have been a huge help to me.
Keeping all of it in mind, I talked to him again today; his mom was at work so we were able to talk in his living room, although he was still a bit reluctant. He did admit that he thinks we can still have a future together someday.. but unlike me, who only gets through each day by focusing on that hope, thinking about it only makes his current situation that much harder to bear. So we are just friends for now, for all we won't be seeing anyone else.
Of course it still hurts me a lot to take a step back like this, but I'm going to do my best to be strong and support him, hanging onto the thought that someday things will change for him. You're right, we do still love each other, and as cliche as it is, I'm sure we can get through anything, no matter how long this takes.

J-chan, here's something to help your thoughts. And I don't want you to think of this as being any sort of patronizing or talking down, it's just an honest analogy. A lot of military spouses and SOs are going through this too, where someone superior (the government) shows up and demands their beloved, and there's that forced separation. Often for several years... But take heart, because they survive through and go on to strong, lifelong relationships. Think about this, once you two are past this hurdle...there's very little going to be this hard. And surviving this, you can survive anything together; how's that for a measure of love?

He loves you; you love him; let it grow and stay together. He'll wait for you too. And I'll personally buy you both a drink when you're back to celebrate.
>> straycat
J-chan, I wish I could offer more advice than "try to be more of a good friend than a good girlfriend". But, although it's simple, please take it to heart?

When I, myself, am under loads of stress, I just want people I love to be there from me and not ask anything of me ('cause I'm already so worn out from dealing with things). I don't doubt he loves you, and that you love him, but rather than pressuring him about plans for the future, I think now would be a good time to quietly offer your support. Something little and simple is fine; just let him know you'll stick by him no matter what.

In my case, I'd probably cook him a lot of food and do my best to cheer him up. (I would also meet with his mother. But that's just because I have a really combative nature... if someone is threatening the wellbeing of someone I view as "mine" - my friends, my family, my pets, etc. - I usually go straight for their throats.)

Of course, I don't know the details of the situation, but I would reccommend at least trying, in some small way, to help his mother get better. Even if it's indirectly, by helping your boyfriend recharge and relax. Because, if you're seriously in love with him and intend to marry him someday, his family will be yours, and she will be your problem, too. That's what loving someone means; sharing their burdens and suffering as well as sharing their happiness. In my case, I'd try to meet with her and win her friendship, but that might not be an option for you.

I found myself being really attracted to Kanae for a while.
I'm not exactly sure why. It's just that the idea of a surfer girl like her seemed so poignant and (considering the events in her life) almost heartbreaking.

Now, this is similar to someone else's post, which was really one of the factors that got me interested in her. I imagined her teaching me how to surf, and we'd gradually get closer that way. At some point when we'd both have feelings for each other, we'd cuddle up on the sand beneath some beach grass as the sun was setting.

And then go on from there.

Maybe I'll just learn to surf at some point, regardless of any girls like Kanae. Wouldn't mind some mostly solitary surfing like what Kanae did.

I'm going to do my best to be there for him without pressuring him about anything! I've asked him before about letting me get to know his mom- she basically hates me right now because she loved his previous girlfriend and probably sees me as a threat to her, but on the handful of times we've met she's been friendly enough- but he told me she would only be harder on him, if I recall correctly. I still think it's a good idea, and if the chance arises in the coming weeks I'll propose it to him again; but right now he's just so spent, if I mention any more stressful subjects to him he might disappear for days.

..umn, if I can ask you guys' thoughts on one more thing, he told me when we last spoke that he'd still uphold his promise to take me out for my birthday later next month. I am beyond psyched for this, of course, but it'll probably be the last time I can reasonably hope to talk to him about our relationship without making things worse.. So should I ask or say anything in the name of my birthday? Like maybe, if he'll reconsider things when I finish school or something? I don't want to take advantage, but I don't want to look back and wish I'd asked one last question before settling into friend-mode either.
I should probably wait until it's closer and I have a better idea of how things are going, but.. as some of you probably understand, I'm already anxious for it. Honestly, I'm already giving thought to a "please consider finding a home for your mom so we can go live out our lives together" speech for once I graduate.

I wish I could say, "Yes, this is what you need to do and this is the time to do it.", but there are no definitive answers. That's the trouble with giving advice. I CAN tell you that you can't force him into anything. You can't beg or do something out of desperation, either. It's not the end of the world if you don't work everything out on THAT particular day. Honestly, if that WERE the case, I'd say he's not the one. Patience. True love takes a lifetime.

Sincerity can be described as "a quality of naturalness and simplicity". Can you see where fear would go against that? People get scared, it's only natural. I've been scared shitless when dealing with her. It's when you make decisions based on it that you act desperate and insincere. Be honest with yourself and you'll be able to be honest with him. That right there is a sign of love and devotion and you deserve it every bit as much as he does.

If you're anything like me, you won't listen to any of this, but I hope it gives you something to think about. Best of luck.

At least you got a female friend there ;s

Who knows what she's up to, especially with this much info; she might have been ronery in the 'not anyone to talk to' way, she might've been unsure about her feelings back there, maybe because she didn't know you or because it all happened too quickly.

On another note, this isn't exactly a ronery fantasy in the classic sense, but at the moment I'm craving for a female friend with whom I could just talk about everything. I feel that I can't and don't want to do that with guys, that'd be just... too awkward. She'd obviously need to be someone who watches anime and is weirdo enough to match me. I'm not sure if I want one to fill the gap of having no gf, but I don't think that's the case. The worst thing is that in my school there are about 5 such girls who I don't know, but I probably could befriend if I just went and talked to them. I just can't imagine to do it naturally... >;S HALP!

I've gotten so much advice in this thread. Maybe I can help?
If the girls at school you mentioned being possibly able to befriend are indeed into anime and such, well, that's a great opening. I'm not saying that all of us anime fans, male or female, are utterly desperate for friendship, but in all the people I know in person with those interests, I've found a common thread: we're all pretty receptive to meeting a new person to talk about anime with. Myself, if any guy or girl approached me by bringing up games or anime, I'd immediately want to get to know them even if we'd never met before, just 'cause fellow anime fans at school are so few and far between. I'm not talking insta-best friends here, but I'd definitely give it a chance.
It sounds like you're pretty shy about introducing yourself? I'm usually like that too. Instead of something awkward like "Hi, I'm X, so i herd you liek anime" your best bet is to comment on a t-shirt or a pin or something, or if you can do it without seeming creepy, jump in on an anime-related conversation. Most of my friends and I met like this, and didn't actually learn each other's names until several conversations later. n_n;
My other suggestion is a little repellent, but undeniably useful: MySpace, Facebook, that sort of thing. On sites like that, forming a friendship based on nothing and exchanging a few comments can easily lead to becoming friendly in person.
But *don't* go into it with the mindset of "I want this person to be someone I can talk to/date/whatever." Just get to know each other and see where it goes.

basically i'm bi, but i'm very shy about it. it's not that big of a deal, especially here where everyone and their grandma is bi, but idk it just seems so personal. plus i'm scared my family will somehow find out. they're pretty christian, the uh, judging kind of christian. i mean my immediate family might not mind so much but it would still be awkward. but i really just want a chick to hold and... oh god that sounds so cheesy. my first attempt at girlfriendism (over the internets, no less) was a total crash and burn. she was still into some other lady and idk she kinda lead me on for a bit and just dropped me. she said she didn't want to try a long-distance relationship again (i live in ontario and she lives in reno).

basically, in short: i want a girlfriend but i'm too shy to get one :l

The basis of Christianity is love and whether they agree with it, they should still love you. But that's my rosy perspective.

Sigh.. do you guys ever watch groups of friends and just wonder what it's like? To have a real, face-to-face conversation without constantly wondering if they really like you... to go outside and hang out, to meet new people.

I'd just like to have some kind of closeness with someone. Not necessarily romantic, but.. just to know someone cared.

To be honest, I don't want to be like them, having to migrate to tons of groups. I want to be able to pay full attention to a couple people, maybe one more than the other.

I do wonder what it's like, though, as I only experienced that in preschool...

I'm going to assume you have abandonment issues, too. Well, I can only say that that nagging sensation goes away with time. The longer you spend with someone, the less superficial it'll seem and, if they're cool, you'll start to trust them. Doesn't mean they won't disappoint you but they'll be there, at least.

Sir, more and more by each post I feel we may have been separated at birth.
'nother obligatory update: We're hanging out more and chatting online somewhat like we used to, only so many things are off-limits now that I still get that cliche "this can't be real" feeling from time to time. But, I'm getting better at fooling myself into thinking it's normal, and watching Minami-ke and such (his idea, incidentally) with him is still fun even if it still kills me not to shower him with affection. School starts up again tomorrow, so that will either take my mind off things or plunge me further into abject misery. >.o My frequenting of /c/ will continue unabated though; I'll probably drop by that IRC channel from time to time too.

My problem isn't the GF, she is fine and good to me.

I have this friend, and he is like my best friend. But we dont see each other alot, and I've never really had a best friend. But we speak the same language, we laugh at the same things and he is the closets I have ever had to a best friend.

But, about half a year ago he joined the military, which was probably a good thing, because he needs to get his life together.

But this month he finally comes back, and he states that he is getting married to his girlfriend.

This was a shock to me, an out of the blue almost random thing. I ask him about it, because he is 22 and I personally think he is going to ruin his life. But I want to be nice about it and dont want to aruge with him.

Then about a week later he had already married the girl and then he went back off to some base and told us all that he may never see us again.

So now he and all my other friends are either married, engaged or poping out babies. Its like they no longer have time for me.

I still have my gf with is great, but I was a big time loner in high school and just 6 years out of it. I've made more friends and starting to be more out going. And now all my friends are settling down and dont have the time for me.

tl;dr: I got da blues...

I'm a female who has never really fit in with the other girls because I was always the tallest girl in my class, and because of my random growth spurts, my mother made me wear oversize clothes. When I would hang out with the girls, they would make fun of my cheap, baggy clothes and my height so I ended up hanging out with the boys...that is, until puberty reared it's ugly head...but that's another story I'd rather not get into.

Anyway, I've never been comfortable with girls since then. It doesn't really help that most of the female friends I've had used me and stabbed me in the back later (I was the stupid chick who would do anything anyone said because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings).

So I've always had fantasies of having intense personal girltalks with my best female friends, and crying over heartbreaks with them, having sleepovers, and hanging out at malls, etc. I don't know if I'll ever have this since I've gotten so used to being alone but I fantasize about it when I see it in anime. I get a little jealous though...

Unfortunately, girls tend to be pretty crazy competitive with each other... Well, I'd say the best way to make friends with anyone is to approach them as a person rather than anything in particular. Show a genuine interest to become acquainted.

Funnily enough, I have the exact opposite problem. I'm too short! I also have an attraction to older women. Does any woman honestly want a man that isn't taller and older? Be honest.

I am aware of the hypocrisy. I have a thing for healthy girls, and their age is more a recurring trend. It's just a fact that people find certain traits attractive. What irks me is the fact that almost every woman I've encountered has had a photocopy "dream guy." Really, I'm just sore that I don't fit into that.

That I think of it... I feel FMA Ed's pain. Even he had a growth spurt, though. ;_;

Another shortfag here, and it annoys me too that most women regard height so important. It almost seems that every other trait is acceptable, but lack of height is an absolute no-no.

I really like Baltimore Aquarium too, but I barely ever go because I would just feel like a geek to go by myself, and going with my family is boring. I was quite jealous the time I went with my family and my brother brought his girlfriend of 9 years and they went off and had a good time together.

Being a 2m guy isnt easy too, everyone giving compliments of your height, it gets boring really fast.

Well, it could be worse. The girl I'm with is only a smidgen taller. I don't see what's wrong with being, you know, eye level. It probably has to do with wanting to feel safe, I guess. I've also been told it makes them feel self conscious when they're bigger. Lucky me.

You can *not* be short like me too. This is either too cool or too eerie.
I'm one of the shortest people in my class, and also one of the oldest. Fun stuff. Admittedly my guy is significantly taller and older than me, but I don't specifically go after that (though being just the right size to sit on his lap or rest my head on his shoulder is nice). And agreed, having certain traits that you like is one thing, but looking for a specific "dream guy" (or girl) is just plain ridiculous. What if you meet the right person but don't even realize it because they don't fit the requirements you're setting?
And it really just figures that now that my college plans have all been thrown into uncertainty, my parents have finally started to pressure me about picking a college.

Its been over a year since my last serious relationship and i feel that im ready for another. but in the past year all I've been having is a few hookups hear and there.
Its not like i'm shy. I'm a really social and outspoken person. And as far as i've been told, im a good looking guy. But nobody wants to be my girlfriend...

I love my closest friend so much it hurts me really. We go to the same school but this year we have no classes together. We can still see eachother in the hallways sometimes and on weekends. But its just simply that. We are friends.

While this is true, I think you can compensate somewhat with strength. That's what I'm working on. There's hope though, fellow shortfags, if she's willing to work on finding a comfortable position. I can attest to it being possible.

It's animal instinct. Most girls want to feel protected and safe and tall men look more stronger. Men prefer short women because of protector instinct.

There's no magical way to make someone love you, I'm afraid. I'm sure you're mature enough to realize that and just feel desperate. There is one part I can relate to, though.

Being apart sucks, I know. When your life is totally focused on school and work, being able to see a loved one there will have you actually WANTING to get out of bed. Unfortunately, schedules change and the further you go - especially if you choose vastly different careers - the greater the gap can grow. I'd say if either of you can drive, rather than lean on these routine encounters, try and be more assertive and creative and ask him if he'd like to go somewhere. Add friends for lessened awkwardness.

Have you tried talking to him about it? Letting him know how much it's hurting you? It sounds like you have a pretty trusting friendship that would endure such a conversation. It's really up to him at that point. I can tell you that even if it feels like you'll die, you won't, and that things happen for a reason. Be patient, be honest. If nothing else, there's always /c/.
