Romance

That's funny...I get the same thing from time to time. For a few weeks, I'll be apathetic toward romance, then for the next few weeks, I'll crave it...then I'll be back to normal.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Something about me is just like "go get 'em, tiger."

I'm always overflowing with passion. That's what pulls me through life.

Thought I was done liking Kieran, and then he said in the LGBT+ thread that he likes a girl from his school, and well...

Needless to say, I'm crying.

-hugs tightly-

I'm so sorry, Sis... You can PM me if you want.

ok, so two days ago i just got into a short-term relationship (since im not ready for a long term one now). im not very sure what to do now that im in one. we've cammed over skype last night, and we have been flirting with each other over text. we've been planning on meeting up somewhere sometime later on.

How does one enter into a short-term relationship, anyway? Like, what are the parameters set up for that?

i could see that being a thing if one or both people are only there temporarily, like on an extended trip or something. that makes for some pretty clean parameters, just end it when you have to leave :p

Dating me is pretty much a guarantee of a short-term relationship, due to my commitment issues. XD

It's so hard keeping track of tropers. I remember there was this one troper who was alway posting here about his doctor fiance that made me sick with jealousy and three guys in a poly relationship from opposite ends of the world- though I'm not sure if they're still in it?

I was in a short term relationship this summer. I think it helped because we realized we weren't compatible, but we also planned on ending it at the end of the summer anyway so we had no misguided drive to continue the relationship over an unhealthily long period.

If you're thinking of the three guys I'm thinking of, yeah, they're all still dating, and they are still around, just mostly on Discord, Skype and the RP subfora here.

I got myself dragged into a relationship with a troper now. :3

Said troper is none other than my dear Enguukins~

Congrats... How do tropers end up in relationships? I've gotten to know some people here, but forums and such only allow for so much depth of interaction, and there's no good reason to just pm someone that I've encountered so far...

Congratulations!

It just... Happens.

I wish I wasn't quite so shy. Even though at the same time, some women think shyness is cute. :S

I am too shy and wary of long distance relationships to even think of establishing a troper relationship.

I also haven't found that many female tropers that interest me.

People develop online relationships at times and with the number of folks we have here it makes sense that it would happen to some people.

That and some of us spend enough time here that our romantic partner decides to join us on here because it's a part of our life. My girlfriend has an account and has posted a few times that I know of.

I don't think I could end up with a relationship on tvtropes

1. because i highly doubt that an irl girlfriend would want to join me on tvtropes

2. because i'm not too keen on online relationships for myself

but, like, if someone is interested in me please confess, if only to sate my own curiosity.

I've seen online relationships spring up before on other communities i've been a part of, it's not that weird or unusual.

I don't really think i have a personal enough presence on TVT to really warrant much attention either way, but I'm basically with Bleye in that I'm not really looking for an online relationship, so it really doesn't matter either way.

I wouldn't be too surprised if there was one or two tropers (considering just how many tropers their is if you count the older ones and the new ones that keep coming) here that lived near me. Hell I very much recall a long while ago seeing a troper that mentioned that he/she lived in my town.

I am not sure if I will get a girlfriiend in the future that will be aware of TV Tropes and already be a troper or she becomes one herself. No way of knowing that.

I stray away from internet relationships though. I was taught to be very wary of that and even though I know it's not quite as bad as they make it out to be I still have my guard on.

I'd only ever get into an online relationship that had a strong possibility of having us meet up IRL on a semi-regular basis. Otherwise it wouldn't be enough for me.

I think all my relationships have been online.

Dear Mr.,

You don't know this, but I still feel deeply. After all this time - it's felt like forever - and you got engaged, and you got married last year. In fact, it's going to be exactly a year in 12 days.

And I'm still here.

I know that I am placed inside a young body, but truly, my soul is a thousand years more. Her face - strewn with beauty and grace - reminds me of the constant internal struggle. And, though I have thought of others in this time, I have never thought of one as much as you.

I long for no more than the rush of skin-to-skin contact... Whether it be just a hug, or more lustful, hungry desires. I would love to latch onto the feeling of myself in your arms, you and your messy morning hair and your t-shirt and shorts, and your glasses.

I want your soft skin placed onto me carefully and gently. Your hands through my hair, secretly wanting more of me. Feeling the heat of the moment.

I want your lips put forcefully on mine. We could work together to make something entirely new - a new feeling, a new being. A new anything. Your instincts running wild, mind going against yours and yours going against mine. Our primal forces emerging from deep inside of us.

But... Instead you chose her. I was too late. I wish I could have somehow turned back time to make it us. That could have been us. I wish it was. I need it to be. Mr., I need you.

Young boy, you may not know it... But I still love you. I have for a long time. I want you. Just once, a hand to hold. Someone to care for.

That was beautiful.

-offers hugs-
