I dunno if it's a good or a bad thing. But I didn't develop any kind of romantic feelings towards anyone since late 2018. Like I don't Feel attracted to anyone anymore. I feel that I've became asexual or smth |

nah, it's too much of a hassle for me to consider because I need that extra brain space for cramming school work. also, seeing how my friends dragged me into their relationship dramas with their exs and crushes, i feel it's better to just avoid having these feelings to spare the trouble |

Not at the moment, since I've been more or less consumed by my studies and my social life has been very constrained as a result. Don't get me wrong, there are people in my life I'm *very* physically attracted to but I don't really know anyone I could see myself dating. Edit: Just hung out with a girl who I just realized was making a ton of lowkey advances and now I feel silly. |

And then finally one still has to deal with the immense amount of free variation that generally exists in languages, especially in a language with such a small phonemic inventory as Japanese. /s/ before /i/ isn't always an alveo-palatal fricative with Japanese speakers, it's often just an alveolar fricative, the same as English /s/ — Japanese speech has a lot of free variation in it so attempting to make a script based on surface-level realization is just prætentious and impossible.

I'm currently engaged with my crush. I met him at work and I felt a lighting striking on me when I first saw him. I was so shy but I didn't want to lose this opportunity to be with him and what I did was just message him and arrange a coffee meeting. Well it was luckily both sided and we are now together and happy with each other! :) |

I've hooked up with this girl a few times recently, and I think she may want to escalate into a more serious relationship. But I just can't see myself dating her. I haven't felt extremely attracted to someone for a long time, and the last time I did it ended up making me feel like crap. SO maybe I am just subconsciously guarding myself. Who knows. I'm the last person of all my friends and family to be single but I'm not going to just date someone for the sake of it, there has to be real connection. If only waifus were real ^_^ |

In retrospect, I probably never had any kind of romantic experience so I was looking for chances. Maybe I was not looking hard enough, or my interest dropped over time. But I started appreciating romance anime after I stopped talking to a girl I was interested in years ago. We never made it past the "friends" part though I wanted it to be more than that. Maybe my timing was too soon, or maybe she wanted to shut me down as soon as possible but things faded away quite quickly. I never watched any romance anime before that and tried one just to understand what I felt and how it is usually portrayed. I am thankful to her for that atleast. When some MCs tell the cliched line to other guy/girl that his/her smile is what makes them happy, I could really relate to it having seen it in that girl. |

(Let's see if this post single handedly /threads the thread.) Ah, you caught me. Yes, I have a crush on you, good sir. It's mostly because you... *skims profile* are a beta male, and I love feeling like top dog. It's like winning a sports trophy except I'll probably want both of us to be on magic shrooms while we weakly flail fight for dominance and only one of us is likely to be sore the next day. Also, like, omg, I'm also INTP. :D |

Nope, my latest crush was three years ago and I have never been in love. It would be cool and all but I also hate myself and I really can't imagine being in a relationship for some reason. |

Not any that I can think of at present. I haven't been out and about socializing much to form these feelings of infatuation. I do roughly think about what life would be like if I had a romantic interest. The last time I had a crush was waaay back - like 8-9yrs ago. I met this one girl that I worked with, but later found out she was going out with someone else. I was probably 2-3 weeks late, else I would have confessed. I've moved on since then...she's no longer with said person...but its been so long, I've lost track of them. I've met people in passing that I chimed with really well. But again, since its only people I've met in travels, I haven't had the opportunity to see them regularly - no way a strong bond or relationship can form from that. |

This thread is very surprising to me because I get crushes all the time and now I feel weird. I was actually surprised that at the beginning of starting college (this is my first semester), I only had one crush, and it was a very, very faint one. I learned she is married and has kids, though, so, no hope there. (However, I am a badass and got her number. She is so adorable!) As I got to know my fellow students better, I did sort-of-maybe get a crush on a guy in my Japanese class for a while, but eh, they evaporated pretty quick when he said he has a girlfriend. (Idk why my crush on him died but yet it's still going strong on the first girl.) Now, as recently as tonight (erm... yesterday night, since it's 1am) I have come to the epiphany that I perhaps have a crush on a second girl, which is starting to make this feel like a really gay semester for me. Anywho, it's another person in my Japanese class. She's always been shy, but as time goes on, she has become more comfortable around me, and it's great. I did not think I had a crush on her, but then we were joking, and she pushed my hat down so that it covered my eyes. I retaliated by pretending I was going to push her. This made her laugh, and that laugh was so adorable, it got to me. Suddenly, I was struck by the image of hugging her, and my heart was like "woW that's a good image bro, your heart really really really wants to hug her, the experience would be 10/10, and then maybe kis-" and I was like "okay another crush has been acquired" |

One that isn't a fictional character? No. Sometimes I start thinking about putting myself out there more, cleaning myself up a bit and getting out and going places and meeting people, but then I just kind of give up on that idea after a few days and get back into my routine. I guess that's why I keep the idea open for "Maybe one day I'll actually go through with it and begin trying" but that day most certainly won't be today. |

My first love was a girl in elementary school right before attending middle school. Same age. Let's say when we had a lot of SFW private time after class. I still remember her and I think about the times even to this day. (Do keep in mind that we were both girls.) |

It's a bit complicated. There's a girl in a couple of my classes who I think is kinda cute. We've exchanged short conversations and are working together on a project for my piano class. Now I definitely like her more platonically than anything else, but something told me to pursue anyway. On Wednesday, I asked her out on a date and got hit with the "I'll think about it". I think the main reason I did it was because I otherwise don't really have an opportunity to talk to her alone and get to know her. Part of me thinks it may have been a mistake and not actually what I wanted, but whatever the outcome, I've crossed the threshold of asking someone out for the first time. If she says "yes", I'm sure the date will go fine, even if there is no second. If she says "no" or nothing at all, it will definitely hurt, but we'll probably still be friends. |

There's a girl I've been seeing and we've been on two dates so far, and we're going on our third this coming week. I'm honestly not entirely sure how I feel about getting into a serious romantic situation yet since we've only been on two dates and I've spotted a small handful of red flags but I do really like her so I'll just go with the flow for now and see where the third and potentially fourth date take us. |

To be fair, yeah I do have a crush on a couple of girls who happen to be my fellow batchmates from a certain academic training course. But it's all in my mind & I have never expressed my feelings towards them nor been close to even attempt to start an affair with them. Might sound wierd but even at my current age I'm single to date & I do have this inner wish that a girl of my liking would someday come & fulfill my life with romance/love. ๐ |
