Most of the creepers I know of creep for the sake of creeping the girl out, so I'm not very sympathetic towards them in general unless they had a really good reason. I understand the trouble with talking to girls though...I don't think I'd ever be able to pluck up the courage to walk up to someone I like and ask them out. ;

Ooh, I like what you're doing with the avi now, Ant.

Yeah, people get all shy sometimes, and nobody ever wants to be the first to say they like someone, it seems.

I'm the same way in real life, it's hard to get to know me, because I don't approach people or make friends easily.

Thanks
I'm mostly doing cosplay avis these days...no inspiration to make anything original.

That and because I'm a little obsessed with the Winter Soldier at the moment thanks to my friend's commentary while we were watching the film the other day despite it being my second time watching it that night.

---

I think it's mostly the fear of rejection that most people can't muster the courage to go and ask someone out. I'm perfectly fine approaching someone if I overhear something of interest being discussed by them, but asking someone out...I have no idea how to do that. I think I'll be fine single too so I guess I'll just stay like this until some kind of miracle happens. ;

Love is a mysterious thing, and it always has been.

People treat it like something in a vending machine, or something everyone absolutely has to have, even if it's not real or something.

I think that if you meet someone and they like you and you like them, it doesn't matter if you know how to ask them out. Things happen on their own sometimes. Not always when we want them to.

I read a quote the other day, "Fall in love when you're ready, not when you're lonely." I think that's a good way to think of it.

Too many people end up in crappy relationships just because they thought they had to be in one, and it wasn't right for them.

Real love isn't a pick-and-choose thing, it just happens.

Yeah, I'm not in any hurry to find someone to be in love with; I'm quite content just daydreaming about hot celebrities at the moment.

If it happens, it happens. If not, I'm okay with that too.

Rejection is a very cruel thing. But a good slap in the face to show the reality, sometimes.

A polite rejection is fine. But unnecessary cruelty or ridicule sucks. And hurts.

I just feel sorry for the ones who wind up with douchebags because the douchebags had the nerve to ask them out, and the ones who really cared for them were too polite to try.

I do think that a little practice talking to people can be a good thing.

But yeah, rejection can be really painful, especially when you really like someone and think they like you and you get your hopes up...

I think people just need to learn to communicate better, but it's difficult sometimes.

Yeah...one of the reasons why I decide to just go with the flow and not particularly do anything about it. Like those 'meet up' thingies that seem popular in modern times where you meet with strangers and stuff for potential dates, etc.

Oh, those are like support groups for the desperate. I couldn't do that.

Whatever happened to singles' clubs? They should bring those back.

Knowing a place is for meeting people could make it a lot easier on everyone, then they wouldn't have to do silly things like speed dating, or whatever.

Or just good-old-fashioned socials? Parties for people to meet other people and make friends and potentially meet someone to be with? Meeting people is the hardest part of the whole thing!

I think the singles' meet-ups are going the wrong way. It shouldn't be about getting dates, it should be about having a good time and meeting others in a fun setting. The rest can take care of itself, really, if you let it.

Yeah. Not sure why so many people are desperate to start a family...those meet up/speed dating things are so unreliable. I mean, how much could you possibly learn about someone within minutes/hours of meeting each other? Even if you do date for a while after that...it just seems like there are so many things that could go wrong. I'd rather it be someone that I already know of beforehand rather than meeting with a stranger and then going from there.

Or like you said, just have fun and meeting new people, and then maybe see if something happens after that, rather than going for romance right off the bat.

Yeah. I think people mistake one thing for another, really.

Love at first sight hardly ever happens in a way that makes anyone happy, and trying to fake it is even worse.

Going on a date with a stranger and trying to make it into a relationship is like going to a casino, the odds are you're going to lose a lot trying to get lucky that one time.

Romance can be awesome, but trying to force-fit to make it work is bollocks. And why do people do that? So they can feel like they have what others have and that they aren't missing out on anything. All a bunch of insecurity.

I'd rather be real and be single the rest of my life than have to bullshit myself every day because I couldn't admit I'd wound up with the wrong person because I was desperate.

I'd rather be happy, and if I have to force myself into a relationship, then I most definitely wouldn't be happy, and it would be counterproductive, so I wouldn't be doing it.

Best just let these things happen on their own.

Wow. Then again, I've heard that people in the states often marry pretty young too, like right out of high school?

You should live a century Ant, a century!
High school.. Not even out of high school, I think. We have till year 13. Once you're in year 11, you write the government exam, and decide what you want to do for year 12 & 13 based on your results, which will decide uni and stuff. They probably thought they couldn't study 12 & 13, so settling to wash clothes and dishes, perhaps

Too long

Who knows?
The average age of marriage around here's getting older and older. A lot of people don't marry until near their thirties.
