Romance Ouchies

[Yuffie514]

...hey, save the "dorky, online romance/marriage" lecture for later. believe me, it's nothing new for me to brush off a guy online or play along with him, but it's different when it goes like... :

to shorten the story, i first began to play FFXI sometime before the last semester ended this year (May-ish or April-ish), as an Elvaan Red-Mage. not too many days pass and i met my first "friend" whilst i still roamed the knolls of my homeland, Windurst. i used my magic to heal him (and others w/low HP), but it didn't suffice (due to lack of experience), tho he was ok with it.

from that point, we chat, partied, even went fishing. really nice guy i thought b/c he lent me some equipment from time to time. i met one of his friends not long after as well. one day where i got stuck and ended "under the sea", she tells me he likes me (but i can't say a word). i kinda guessed he might like me, but who knows how many other gals out there he's met and liked already before i came along.

i left FFXI perhaps in August, only to return in Mid-October. me finds out he's marrying a Mithra (which i occassionally mistake for Galka). he apologized and informs me that he really did like me, but had no idea it was "mutual" when i left. why do shadows always suffer from sadness...never channel the "other side" of your personality into video-games and other online nonsense. i guess i should've not went for real-play.

i still congratulated him and didn't want him to break off marrying the cat-girl. knowing that i was above the "i like you so-and-so" line is good enough for me.

I think you'll get over this.

No romance for me in FFXI. I have a girlfriend in real life. =\

[Vaprice]

I have omecle.

[Ouch!]

And I have Vaprice.

[Lionx]

And i have hentai.

Whenever my FFXI relationships dont work out I go up to my room with a box of tissues and a ben and Jerrys, Lock the door, play Alanis Morisette with the speaker turned up and cry into my pillow.

I once broke a guy's heart on FFXI. The great thing about being a Tarutaru BLM is that I always have a hat on and nobody can tell what sex I am. My party was having a serious conversation and I made an offhand comment about my boyfriend. Suddenly I was being showered with attention by all the guy players, and one of them started stalking me about like we were together or something. Of course, horrible person that I am, played along with it.

Then, I finally took off my hat. I think he blisted me. I found it entertaining and didn't feel the slightest bit bad about it. It's not like I ever said I was a girl... :rolleyes2


...anyway. My only suggestion is to get yourself a really nice laptop with a wireless connection so that you can play FFXI where ever you want. Then, get yourself all dolled up, and go to a coffeeshop. *nod*

I don't mind it. I think that the end of a story will bring about the beginning of another story, so I try not to get too worked up about those types of things.

...note the previous entry [which now cease to exist since being edited]. i said i needed a miracle. miracle indeed...through words. 'tis guy likes me more than his bride-to-be and that makes for a win-win situation. now i feel a little sorry, but i can now rejoice with a:

:bigbiggri ... i guess shadows can have a little luck...

I'm not too fond of serious relationships like that over the internet, let alone an MMORPG.

.... most mmorpg marriages are a guy and a guy.... so, sucks for him.

Untrue.

...upon starting the game, my initial plan was to...have fun, just like i would in any Final Fantasy. that's the golden rule :meditate: . the forbidden rule...don't take it outside of fun and games and...i stepped across the line.

so lets compare having fun to getting married to a friend in the game, whom i only know as much as a friend and no more. am i taking it too seriously to want to marry him, or am i not supporting the golden rule :meditate:? if it's only in the game, then that's "just having fun". why not goof around, the golden rule :meditate: demands me to "have fun".

anyway, one of us has decided to switch servers. it's time to end this abominable mishap. besides..."shadows don't love" :fpdev: . now that's the way to do it, ally myself with bitterness !

Although it's only 'just a game', the relationships are not. I would never take anything over the internet seriously, and that's just my view, because I'd rather be able to see the person in real life.

The problem is, people find the relationships are just a game too, and it causes a lot of childish and immature problems. However, that's usualy just the younger group.
