Lol sure . I had to double check my math :3 I messed up if that's what you were referring to xD So now it should read: "I was 12, he was 19. We started out as friends and then he went off to the Air Force, when he came back online I was 18, he was 25"
Let 'em have their fun. This is just the virtual version of playing house. If they are annoying you in chat, /ignore them.
I read over everything in this thread and thought I'd simplify the whole dating thing... by dating myself. So I tried to message myself to kick things off, feeling sure that I would be compatible with myself. The system, however, immediately responded with red text. "You cant start a conversation with yourself" I just sat there for a moment. The very server that I wanted to start a relationship on has forbidden me to contact myself? Oh, the rejection I felt. I mean, it would be one thing if I were to decide I was a total bore and tell myself to take a hike, but the EMC server itself? WHY?! Why can't I talk to myself in PM on EMC? Is it so wrong?! Why does the server forbid the possible love I may or may not have for myself but never got the opportunity to find out? *sobs uncontrollably*
Funniest thing i've heard all day And it was also the last funniest thing I heard yesterday, because now it's 12 o clock in the morning for me
Now that Twitch has diffused the situation in this thread I would like to simply say, I met my boyfriend on here in EMC as just members of the game. I was helping him out with life and he was helping me with life and we clicked instantly. I live in New Zealand, and he lives in America. We have not met yet.. not for the lack of trying, but for life getting in the way. I was all ready to fly over there in June, but due to my grandfather being sick I couldn't leave my family. He passed away on June 1st and it was a very sad time. There have been other obstacles in our lives (money, uni, work) stopping us from seeing each other, but it finally looks as though December will be definitely when I can travel to see him. People ask me if I'm nervous to fly all that way to meet someone from online, but I know several people who have met their SO online and they do fine. I'm a sensible person. I have travelled alone by myself before. Basically.. I am not a child and I don't find dating online any different from meeting someone in the clubs/bars who could be a bloody axe murderer with every STD under the sun hidden in his pants. Anyway, so yeah we have a connection. I can tell him everything and anything. Things that I have been scared to tell anyone else, but feels so comfortable telling him. We have (and are still) learning about each other's lives, our likes and dislikes, our quirky habits etc. I know that the first meal I cook him will probably be macaroni cheese and he will make me watch Armageddon which I haven't seen yet still I know what his job his, I know what he looks like, I've sent him things via post. I just.. I don't even know what I'm saying now cos I'm starting to daydream ahaha. But seriously, we have a connection and yeah.. we met here! And I will be forever grateful that he somehow walked onto my plot on SMP2 because he has changed my life, the way I view things, the way I view others and myself and I am so happy even though we are miles apart. It's hard sometimes, but I try and think of it that we've been dealt all of our quota of bad luck and it's only uphill from here Now, that I've been all sappy and you're all probably vomiting in your mouth, I'll follow up by saying I actually don't like kids who "get married" for the sake of it on EMC. I think it's silly, but each to their own and if they wanna have a wedding I just politely ask them to do it in local chat so I don't get an eye-ache from rolling my eyes so much ;D And finally, you can definitely learn a lot about a person just by talking to them on the internet. You really start to see a person's true colours over time and I have definitely experienced that by a few people that I've met on EMC, in good ways and in bad. I can honestly say I've made a lot of great friendships from this game. There are people who I want to meet up with in real life because we do have a connection. There are also people who are very deceitful, and I've learnt to pick on signs of a person like that and I try avoid them. I don't think there is anything wrong with me for doing it this way. It's just that I live in an country full of [insert inappropriate A word] and none of them are worth it. I may not always think highly of myself, but I do know who is worth my time and effort and there's not many like that in my neighbourhood. P.S. Ismooch is my boyfriend if you didn't know hehehe. ;D
Not gonna copy ALL of your essay (lol) but that really speaks for me. I know this girl in real life, she goes to my school, but we're both emo and don't like to express that in public (otherwise our lives will come crashing down and we'll be laughed at to death) so we only speak through skype and facebook. I like her, and she shows signs of liking me. We basically tell eachother things we don't tell ANYBODY else and we both play on the PS3, so we have eachother on there also. Right now i'm still friendzoned but we both feel like we can tell eachother everything. We compliment eachother every 10-15 messages and spill a secret every 5-20 messages. And i'm gonna arrange to meet up with her and ask her out. I still consider this meeting online. We do know eachother at school but we only talk online. I also did a portrait of her a few weeks ago and she has it hanging on her wall in her bedroom. I overheard her a few days ago talking to her friends and she said: 'I have his portrait hanging on my bedroom wall, and I look at it every night and think 'One day that'll be painted by 2 people who are more than best friends''.
Guys. I think we all blew this thread out of proportion. Let's all pretend that we never saw my OP. I messed up when trying to explain my problem with dating on EMC in my OP. I will try again this time and will try to explain this as best as I can. Now don't flame at me after I say this please, but... What I "really" meant when I said dating on EMC was people who do this: DatingGuyFrank to CompletelyRandomGirl: Your hot. Will you be my girlfriend? CompletelyRandomGirl to DatingGuyFrank: YEAH SURE!!!1! *five minutes go by* DatingGuyFrank to CompletelyRandomGirl: I love you so much baby! CompletelyRandomGirl to DatingGuyFrank: You're the sweetest guy I've ever met. I love you too! <3 Keep in mind that I added correct grammar to the scenario above to allow legibility, but usually it's a lot worse. xD I never really meant people who have been religiously dating on EMC and really love the person. That's fine. Congrats to those who accomplish that. But the scenario above is very ridiculous. Now with that said does anyone get what I'm saying?
Yea i hate that too many people have told me that some random person they've never even seen on emc has asked them on a date but my friends also told me they said no . Anyway it shouldn't really matter if people date this way on emc (i wouldnt ) because people can choose what they want to do and it doesnt affect you and if what they did is a mistake then they will learn from it. btw the way you stated it befor made it sound like you hated dating on emc in total!!
