PSU E-dating?

[Raysa]

How does it work guys http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif? I fail at it.

[Retehi]

It doesn't work.

[-Rune-]

I wouldn't reccomend it, only setting yourself up for depression/heartbreak in the end. Or... let's just say this, it CAN work but the success rate is about as high as finding a Blackbull board

[Raysa]

Actually, I'm just curious at the fact PSU has so many Pixel Cuddlers http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif.

[AC9breaker]

Here ya go.
Free of charge too.

[-Rune-]

Well if that's the case, then find the nearest female *player* a.k.a. guy in skirt. Talk to them and cuddle up.

[AC9breaker]

Dood my tips are top notch! Just look at the link!
Besides why would guys play with girl characters. Thats just insane! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

[Raysa]

Rune I tried http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif. They just tell me to go away http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Also, that comic is win http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

because I rather play (aka look at) a slutty looking girl when I play then a slutty looking gay guy.

Plenty of candidates here on pso-w =) Though I have quite a lot of them!

[Raysa]

Are you suspecting your PSU cyber partner is cheating on you?

[NPCMook]

E-dating can either be Hit or Miss, sure you start off at friends just doing goofy "Emotes" of hugging and cuddling then it moves to E-petting and the forth... so you are engaged in E-sex only to find out that shes a 12 year old boy who has a gender complex(this is the term I use for people who play Female but are male in life)

they end up looking like one of the parents is a gorilla >.>
actually a Male only playing with your mind to get free rarz!
Are way out of your States Age of Condolence law

Online dating is either hit or Miss and in most cases a BIG miss, I say peruse around perhaps you will find someone who is close to where you actually live(has happened a few times with me, but its never gone anywhere). So instead of an E-date, you soon end up in a very fun relationship where Arguments are settle on the Gears of War Battle field

[-Rune-]

Go suck an egg Mook, to say someone has a gender complex, is f'd up. Real fun game online game would be if everyone except like 3% were girls. You know how boring games would be? Get over the fact that guys play as girl characters, you make it seem like people play different genders have something wrong with them. So is something wrong with females who playmale characters or does that not all of a sudden matter just because she would be playing a game in the first place? Stop being so god damned closed minded and wake up.

Can't stand retards who talk first think second...

it was fun for a while >.>

but now i have a real one thats WAY better than a "fakey" one http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[NPCMook]

okay let me correct myself, then people who fully portray themselves as Females ingame, but are male outside have a gender complex

and also no reason to get upset unless its true http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[-Rune-]

No i'm not upset about myself I tell people I'm a guy, but I'm speaking on the millions of people you classed together in a whole. Don't try and push my buttons, I'm the wrong one...

[Weakness]

1) I'm a 6'2" 250 lbs guy who plays a tiny little chibi CAST... do I have gender issues Mook?

2) I met my now real life girlfriend through Final Fantasy XI... granted that game has a much more "social" feel to it then PSU. You need people for everything, and it is inevitable that you are going to make some "real" friends from it. Hell, I haven't played in about 7 months, but still talk on the internet/phone with people from my old linkshell.

But to the point eh? My girlfriend and I had known each other for over a year, talked on the phone regularly, and knew each other pretty well before she and I actually talked about the whole dating attribute. We have been dating for a few months past a year now and to say the least it is a serious relationship.

We have a lot of problems though. Fist off, we don't get to see each other too often. I drive up to see her once ever other month, and she comes to see me the other months. Point being, long distance relationships are expensive, frustrating, and over all a pretty big pain in the ass if you are serious. Which is why I am moving to Kansas http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_dead.gif.

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Also, there is a picture of my girlfriend and myself in my profile. It was from Thanksgiving.

But if you are really looking for a relationship I would suggest real life... for starters it is probably easier to meet people, it is easier to talk to and do things with them, and over all just a better choice. Seriously, just grow a pair and talk to a girl, then ask her out. You will be shocked how many say yes. And besides, what is the worst that could happen... she says no? God forbid, seeing as you are looking for a relationship online... I don't think your self esteem is much of an issue.

Do you openly admit at the first sign of interest from another male player that you are in fact a male in life? If so no, you do not have a gender complex.

Okay so apparently my statement has riled some people.

When I say Gender complex I am speaking of the people who whole heartedly play a female just to play with someones mind and get them to give them free stuff, a scam/con artist. Now those of you who simply play with "I'm the Mack Daddy of all you hoes" mind he deserves it. I'm talking about the people who sit there and lie about being female just for ill-begotten gains. Now in my gaming life the Majority of males only portray females so they can get the free "rarz".

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone in my statement

[youthisoverrated]

i'm the same as weakness. i too have been going out with my boyfriend for a little over a year now, but we met in doom 3 of all places. if you want someone to be around you in real life, then i don't suggest any sort of e-dating. not to mention it's hard to be a good judge of character when you're typing/talking to someone via internet connection. if you're actually looking for someone to be with in person you really shouldn't consider this type of a relationship. it creates all sorts of trust problems in the long run. you'd probably be better off looking for someone in your general area and just talking to a girl like that. really we're not as bad as it may seem.

you're an @ss

[Raysa]

The type of E-dating I'm describing,is the one where you do *cuddles* and use random emotes to express feelings. Then make them your girlfriend/boyfriend online without meeting them yet.

..but meeting online, then meeting offline and being friends, then it turns into a relationship. That's ok. I guess.

Gender Complex!? I once did that portrayed myself as a girl(on another game) and got so much rares. It was hilarious. I was a gold digger. It was pretty fun http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

In real life... I found a girl I didn't relate to at all, lasted 2 weeks. Then another... 3 weeks. Oh plus another, which later revealed to me that she was a damn lesbian.

What better it is to find somebody that plays the same game as you eh? But no, I don't do that. I do intimate time with a lot of interesting and different girls in PSU. I think I've come on Weakness and Rune before at one point in time heh heh heh... too bad they didn't wanna

I'd suggest dropping your prices, considering such can be had at much better quality than could be managed in PSU for far less (namely, free) if you just look elsewhere. Not that you're serious, I'm certain.


Now... as far as my own take on this, it all depends upon how you do it. Agree on whether it's just for lulz or such, or whether there's any element of seriousness to it; if there's any element of seriousness, don't do it unless you're friends first. I'm certainly not going to condemn it, seeing as I met two very good friends of mine in online games (both of them in the same game, actually), and one of those friends is the girl I'm pursuing at the moment. (We've only known each other for a few years and gotten to be good friends, but... we're putting together a meeting in the near future.)

So, to end it: yes, it can produce Perfectly Viable Leads. By extension, it could thus end in relationships of pretty much any caliber, like any other form of meeting someone. It has its advantages over meeting in real life (i.e., you both know you share a hobby, at least), but I'm not going to say they outweigh the disadvantages (easier to tell lies and so forth).

The same rule applies here as pretty much anywhere: just don't be an idiot. Be careful about how invested you get yourself how soon, get to know each other as friends before you make your Big Move, make sure you both are in the same kind of relationship (i.e., Person A isn't in it for lulz while Person B is in it for reals), so on and so forth.

[Kaloa]

I met a guy on PSO 3-4 years ago and we exchanged descriptions of our under garments. After a year of e-hugs, e-kisses, and descriptions of bad things we wanted to do to eachother, we finally met offline and we've been together ever since. E-flirting works!



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Kaloa on 2007-04-06 16:23 ]</font>

[Raysa]

So was the sex as good as described on PSO http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif?

[Kaloa]

Being online with a person can never compare to being in real life with a person. It's 100 times better. Looking back, I can't believe I used to take any of the things I said on PSO, or online in general, seriously.

[Allison_W]

Ah, yes, and to the person kibbitzing about people with a "gender complex" online...

Stuff it. One, that's a pretty broad insinuation to make (even with the exceptions you've made), and two, if the person has a gender complex, I've found online play can be a big help. Took me a while of playing female characters online, eventually having it pointed out to me that I seemed to have a distinct non-desire to play male characters, and other such interactions before I figured out just what was up with me, and I'm not sure I would have if not for that. (And if I didn't figure it out, I don't want to think too hard about what today would look like.)

[Para]

lol.

I dont think edating is a bad thing, you just need to get used to it and be prepared.

[SolomonGrundy]

three things

1. There are some posters that I wonder what thier true gender is. Not naming names.

2. I don't even consider e-dating as a possibility. Not that I don't lurve me some wimmens, but when I'm gaming, I'm mostly just in the uber-geek zone and don't have my mind set on 'flirt'

3. If through fate or circumstance two players get into a groove with each other, be it straight, bi or gay, then I would recommend meeting face to face, stat. Reality is a most potent brew.

I don't see how it is any different than meeting on the internet in any way. Might be even more credible when you consider 360 users with headsets and webcams.

No?

Actively pursue it though, and you're a loser. And very likely setting yourself up for a hard time.

[Tita]

all i know is that i hate hearing lubby wubby e-flirting talk that isn't funny/goofy/silly in mid-mission.

anything not funny, goofy, informative, or interesting=DAZ GETS THA BOOT!

its possible to really vibe well with players online, and i've seen romances spring up from some of them. it should be an accident. people actively and seriously trying to pick up chicks in a videogame make Clobbersaurus cry ;_;

[-Shimarisu-]

May I ask WHY people here want to set themselves up with a long distance relationship, especially given most people on PSU are teenagers without the money to finance real life meetings?

[youthisoverrated]

i guess you should really get to know the person who is actually trying to date people online. we might have some very good reasons for going online and looking.

[DurakkenX]

Personally I fell into e-dating for the reason that there was no way I could have a long term relationship without it being long distance and become e-dating shortly after due to my situation of moving back and forth and never knowing where I'd be the next year for a while...

Various things can happen and it really matters about your maturity, just like any other relationship. If you are not very trust you are most likely not going to find any success in e-dateing.

i've been in a situation where i met a girl online over 6 years ago now and we were good friends until about 4 years ago where we both decided to e-date. It went well for a while till suddenly she suddenly stopped IMing me or answer phone calls and then said that I was the one doing that v.v After a bit of that nonsense we gave up on that lol and now we're pretty good friends again.

Another time on PSO-X we I met a girl that and became friends with her...we later discovered that we both prolly had seen each other before as we both regularly visited the same place and we prolly would have met, but I was away at the time and she was moving and she moved like a week before I got back ^.^

While "e-dating" can be good and all I have to say that for all it's benefits there is one over-riding con that makes it bad...The fact there is no physical connection. No hugging or kissing or cuddling and that is important for a long term relationship.

Also it is a lot more benefitial to women then it is for men as women are more aroused by concepts, thoughts, ideas, and what they imagine themselves and men are more aroused by the visual...


As far as the men posing as women for rares... that's not gender confusion...that is called being a dick. Gender-confusion has nothing to do with sexuality or anything like that. It has to do with a feeling that you are the wrong gender... There are plenty of gender-confused people that get gender reassignment surgeory who are attracted to the same gender that their original gender is supposed to be attracted to.

Also most female players act male or play male chars to avoid idiots that are overly impetuous.

[-Shimarisu-]

I run a million miles from people who start flirting with me online without knowing dick about me.

If you get to know a person first, without any attempt made to pursue a relationship and love just HAPPENS, then fine.

i've had my share of trying to find "the one" out of a sea full of @ssholes. i live in a samll town where very few people are like me and like the same things i do. not to mention the wonderful bfs of past days who cheated and lied and use for things they should have said in the first place. i've have lost all longing for most social interaction and keep to myself. and i'm 23 and can afford to go places after i save up. so call me a loser all you like or stupid. but i like the fact that if someone breaks my heart i don't have to see them again in my town or anywhere ever again. you guys enjoy your way of life and i'll enjoy mine. but i won't critize you're doings and call you a loser.

[Mystil]

I have someone I met online. We're not what you could call bf/gf, but we clearly love each other. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif I make a enough money to plan a trip to cali to see her. That's about it.

NPCMook, I'm going to assume you've never had sex in real life, because otherwise you wouldn't be making such an asinine statement. Seriously, when you are 100% secure about your sexuality in real life, who the fuck cares what you are online? Go get a life, or just get laid.

[-Shimarisu-]

If you look for somebody online though you know very little about them and your mind can make up all sorts of romantic scenarios about them, in fact EXACTLY like the situations I got mysef into of loving a men who weren't meant for me based on INITIAL REAL LIFE ATTRACTION.

When you fall for somebody, you shouldn't be looking. Nothing could be more perfect than viewing them as a friend first, that way you share all your thoughts without romance and sex talk getting in the way right away, and creating false impressions.

When you fall for somebody, you shouldn't be looking. Nothing could be more perfect than viewing them as a friend first, that way you share all your thoughts without romance and sex talk getting in the way right away, and creating false impressions.



then wouldn't the internet be a perfect place to meet someone when it isn't soly based on looks?



Where did I say you shouldn't meet people on the internet?

All I said was you shouldn't be actively looking. In fact the internet can be a perfect place to meet people... oh wait apart from you know, the whole expense of meeting in real life.

If you find somebvody then great, if they are on the other side of the world and it somehow doesn't matter, then great. But why actively seek a relationship like this?

If you are looking, then IMO you are not in the right frame of mind to have a perfect relationaship. It smacks of desperation.

[Angelo]

I am incredibly jaded on the subject of romance at the moment so I'm going to be as harsh as possible about it.

I'm going to tell anyone who is thinking of starting a relationship with someone they meet on PSU: It will not work.

Simply because that IS what you need to hear. The chances of a successful relationship happening are as likely as a blue moon happening simultaneously with a lunar eclipse.

However I will say this; if you know someone prior to PSU, games like this can really bring people closer together.

Prepare for some stories, kids

When I started PSO quite a long time ago, my girlfriend and I joined at the same time. To still be 'together' even at times when we were physically apart was really nice. It throws two people into scenarios that would never happen in real-life; defending eachother. You witness things in a 'psuedo world' that reflect actions in real life. As a Hunter I was always willing to defend her, and as a Force she was always there to support me and heal my wounds. I remember searching day and night for a weapon she'd always wanted, the Psycho Wand. I traded EVERYTHING I had for it, was forced to beg someone for it, and when I finally went to give it to her, she traded something with me in an exchange; the Zanba; a sword I talked about wanting constantly in-game, she traded everything she had for it. It was like a PSO version of Gift of the Magi, and even while it was just a game, it was things like that which were really touching. We even took turns raising our first MAG together, which ended up being a Soniti (kinda the way you take care of an egg in highschool) While her and I are no longer together, the whole PSO experience definitely made things better, and they are things I will never forget. (As you can see from the image in my sig).


As for PSU.


A friend of mine and his friend who he'd known for years got PSU last October. They spent alot've time sending little flirty simple mail to eachother, 'pixel cuddling' and stuff like that. They started seeing eachother more (in-person) too, and this January they've started dating. He always tells me how much he loves playing PSU with her (they also played PSO BB prior to this game). So as you can see, games like this may even 'ignite' flames or fan the fire of love.

So while I wouldn't suggest starting a relationship with a complete stranger over PSU, games like this can definitely help existing relationships grow I believe.

Then again as someone who used to be such a hopeless romantic, sometimes inside of me wants to say that if you truly feel it, go for it. We have no idea how fate works.

Why do people have to be in existing relationships to make it work over the internet?

Why is meeting people on PSU any different from meeting them anywhere else online? Or in real life for that matter, where initial visual attraction can throw you into a relationship that was clearly only based on sex?

While it's something alot've people don't like to hear; physical chemistry has alot to do with relationships. And I don't really mean the way people look or anything, I mean the way two people feel when they're around eachother; body language; things like that. Love at first sight exists for a reason, and it's not just because someone is thinking with their pants and going 'omgz ur hawtness!' it's because when you find that certain someone there is just a 'click' you can feel.

And I didn't flat out say "Don't go it! It's a TRAPZ!", I said I wouldn't suggest it, and I will stick to that.

In environments like this people really leave their hearts vulnerable by getting their hopes set high, and that is very dangerous (take it from someone who has taken this risk numerous times). I'm just throwing my 2 cents in and warning everybody that it's really NOT a good idea.

Love at first sight is not something you want to happen to you, trust me.

And it usually happens when you're actively seeking a relationship, because you're needy for whatever reason. And yeah that can happen on the internet especially, because you have even LESS of an impression of somebody.

I got propositioned the other day. I had my headset on, but had not been talking. I answered in my sultry baritone, and the fella on the other end said, "OH F***! YOU'RE A DUDE!"

[-Shimarisu-]

I think love at first sight is a fairly silly teenage thing to do, and seeking love on the internet falls in that category too.

If it happens, it should happen out of loving somebody's mind before loving their body.

And you forget that the internet has webcams too. Who are the people most likely to have webcams? People actively seeking love on the internet.

I don't have a webcam. But then I wasn't actively seeking love on the internet.

[Rashiid]

what the *beep*.

[Xaeris]

I've only had one problem with the entire e-dating thing; what the heck do you do? You spend time together, do missions, you talk...I mean, christ, so far, all I've described is a close friendship. A lot of the staple activities of a relationship just don't get through all that well online. I suppose the question that outlines what I'm thinking here would be "how would cheat on your e-girlfriend?"

[Retehi]

I'm actually speechless.

[Tystys]

What scares me is that a topic like this actually has 7 pages.

The fu** is this world comin' to?

[SolomonGrundy]

3 more things?

1. All relationships start off with someone being a stranger that's not what makes dating/e-dating odd (and I'm not even sure if I understand what e-dating is)

2. Sex is sex, dating is dating, love is love - what I mean by that is having sex with someone you met online (and perhaps got to know first), is not really more likely to result in something "more" than having sex with someone you did not meet online. There are no guarantees, and sex only means something if you want it to.

3. It is absolutely easier to be someone else online, because they really can't see who you are when you are not playing/chatting, etc. That's a good thing to remember


One final personal note: dating in your teens, 20's, 30's (**me**), 40's and even 50's are different. People look for different things at different ages. When I was in 19, I wasn't looking for a wife, so falling for a very good looking woman, who was not much more than that was fine.

And you know what? Some folks go through self reinventions: I have a buddy who got divorced and now, even though he's older, he is now dating again like he did in is early 20's - no strings.

[Yuudai_Riisu]

[Allison_W]

I think the cuddling can be cute. Then again, I'm also a sort who is both rather lonely and rather flirtatious by nature, so of course I would.

Incidentally, I did have one E-relationship which carried over to PSO... specifically, my girlfriend and I were separated by a considerable geographical distance, and I wanted something we could do together. I'd just learned of Blue Burst. So I introduced her to it.

Very shortly, she got her brother involved, and both of them were rapidly blowing past me in level. But we had something we could do together nonetheless!

(Yes, I did end up meeting this girl offline; it was in that meeting that I decided it wouldn't work out--but that I didn't regret the relationship. It wasn't a mistake, and yes, the whole thing was serious enough that I call it a relationship even in hindsight. And they do say hindsight is 20/20, for all old sayings are worth.)

[Sekani]

While not actively looking, I can say that I've had some "hits" in my online gaming experiences. But I don't believe in long-distance relationships so I never bothered to pursue any of them. (By long distance, I'm in Cali, they were all on the east coast.)

Still though, I keep in touch with all of them to this day.

Indeed voice chat can heighten the e-date. But on PC, you can still use Ventrilo/Team Speak/Xfire/MSN/AIM/Windows Live Messenger, etc. to voice speak and some even has video cam.

A decent computer can even video cam while playing PSU. e.O

There's a lot of options to heighten the relationship one would have online. I would agree with e-dating. To me there's nothing wrong with it. Many have already found their life partner through it.

Try Eharmony. XD They state that they've been getting successful relationships for people for a long time now.

It was actually just an assumption I thought was kinda universally accepted. Based on personal experience, most of the people I know who are adults play the PC version and most of the people I talk to online who are like 14 play the 360 version. Other people tell me the same thing. No need to be a grumpy gus about it.

Without searching, I had the luck to find e-mate on PSU. Without seraching I mean that it just happened. I think playing just to search your mate is wrong!
I take this relation with tenderness, and I do care for it, yet, I don't have great plans for it.
If something is going to happen offline, it's going to, no need to push it!

And yeah there's nothing wrong with e-relations, sometimes they can be very romantic. And in the past, internet releations born in games became offline relations.

Not entirely sure as to why people want to e-date... it only makes you waste time at the computer rather than get out more often.

My profession requires me to be at a computer, but I still find the time to spend with my girl whenever I can.

I think e-dating should be something like "puppy love" not taken seriously, just playing along and making "drama". There does not seem to be enough of that on here http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Finding love online is fine, as long as you don't log onto PSU expecting to find love. Tired ass 360 hate. The end.

Hows that there pants shrinkage Sychosis?

From MY personal experience, the vast, VAST majority of players I've played with have been over 16, I have a hard time finding people who are 14 (not that I'd want to O_o) I dunno, perhaps all the halo 2 14 year olds have their own official universe?

I'm never ever letting my sister on the internet till she is 18.

Okay I'm not saying this will happen to everyone, well, actually the chances are slim to none. But anyway... I have a true story to share. I met my fiance while playing PSO back in the Dreamcast days somewhere in the year 2001. We are still together and I am so happy that we found eachother. I guess love is possible on phantasy star, but very hard to find. And just for the record, I am a female and do love playing these games.

You do seem to be the exception to the rule. But, PSO, and PSU, are like compairing apples and oranges.

PSO = ORPG
PSU = MMORPG

PSU is MMO? I thought it was like Multiplayer Online RPG. I really don't see any emphasis on massively. lol

[Zantra]

PSU has a much larger community, and the characters are online only server side saves, like any MMO. PSO lets you take your characters offline, and online like Diablo 2, making it an Online RPG.

Plus, PSU has city's and towns, like an MMO, with their own stores, and characters. While PSO only had the ship, and those sisters who made cakes.

If you don't want to label them this way, Gamespot.com calls PSO's Genre: Role-Playing, and PSU's Genre: Action Role-Playing.

It depends as to what you define massively in this catagory as. Personally, I feel 1k-1.5k of players on isn't massive. I'm more along the lines of 20k+ on diffrent servers on regularly to be considered massively, but hey that's just me.

[Zantra]

Well, gamespot.com claims that guild wars is an MMO, and it has many similarities to PSU.

please shut up v.v

[Raysa]

Nuuu http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Though, how much people are on Guild Wars daily?

[Zantra]

a few thousand... like PSU. It dwindles down, until a new expansion comes.

When a game is free to play online, MMO's especially, people don't feel compelled to play them as often, because they don't feel like they are wasting money, when they don't play them.

I suggest that you look for love, in real life. It's not as hard as you think. The boy/girl of your dreams, is out there waiting for you. They're not sitting at home playing PSU, or you would have found them by now. And, as you said yourself, our community is small. The outside world is a much bigger place, filled with people, and possibilities.

[Raysa]

Honestly, I think opposites are better than people with similarities.

2 people who play online games in a relationship. I seriously consider that to be fail, it might work for some but not me. My gf is the complete opposite doesnt watch any anime, complete seriousness, and barely plays video games.

[Zantra]

If you have a girlfriend, then why even open this thread? Do you want to cheat on your girlfriend?

[Tsavo]

Nothing good can come of dating through a videogame.

SPOILERz

[Zantra]

But, before that, you said that "you fail at it", implying that you tried to start a relationship on PSU, i.e. Cheating on your RL girlfriend.

See?

[Raysa]

rofl. sarcasm, I've never tried it.

[Zantra]

And you get turned on by the characters of PSU, which is ten different kinds of sad...

[Raysa]

LoL if you take everything a /b/ tard like me says. You're in for a serious surprise.

Well, at least I have a life, outside of these message boards. You're just spamming, while I was trying to be helpful. Tell me, how many of those almost 1,700 posts, are actually helpful, and how many of them are just insults, and spam?

*The More You Know*

[Raysa]

OUCH REJECTED http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = (

[Zantra]

I think this is the answer...
a) Most of the people in this community, are too immature to have an online/real life relationship with another person.
b) How is it possible to have a dating relationship with someone in this community, when people can't even be friends, without getting into huge fights over in-game stuff, and when most of the people who play online, act like idiots on these boards.

[-Shimarisu-]

I was serious and helpful in this thread (well, not really helpful as I do not expect people to take my advice, nor do I need them to), then the thread just got full of LOL WHY DOES THIS THREAD EXIST I HAVE A LIFE AND WOULD NOT DATE ONLINE. Then you come in and play the "I have a life because I have less posts than you" card. Which is the dumbest bloody claim ever.

So yeah, I mildly spammed the thread.

I have a VERY good reason for this.

Thanks to Phantasy Star, and this forum, we are now a very happy couple.

[A2K]

I think this thread has run its course. Despite some spamming, there were some rather helpful things posted. I suggest taking what you've all learned thus far and, ah, meditating on it. Or something.
