She's too self absorbed in herself, so she hardly give a fuck about my state or my hobbies.

I once intervene in her interest though, cause she's quite smart and I consider myself smart too (smarter than her in fact) and because of that the result is she became very rich in her business because my idea.

I fall for her because of looks mainly.
Secondly because of her persistent and ambitious personality which I once had but got lost in the way and philosophy we shared about God/the world. And thirdly because her voice.

Some interests we have in common are hunting, the paleo diet, competitive sports and martial arts.

I'm not at all interested in baseball, while he seems to be highly emotionally invested. I will try watching some baseball anime since that seems more welcoming than jumping right into watching real games or reading books on it or something. I'm sure it'll be more exaggerated and exciting there anyway. Hopefully it'll get me hooked.

The first thing of my interests I'd introduce him to is Hokuto no Ken. It'd probably make him so excited that he'd kill me by accident imitating the moves... (image related)

He takes paintball pretty seriously in one episode, and that got me pretty excited. I'd like to do some military sim stuff with him. I've never tried IRL because the guys at the airsoft arenas seem like a bunch of retarded normies jacked up on steroids. They'd ruin my immersion.

I suppose all of the things he likes are pretty manly, and his boyish nature is what made me so attracted to him, so yes, I guess I would say that I did fall for him because of his interests.

"As Good as it Gets" was OK. Just OK. What makes the movie recommendable is the protagonist; he's a really hateful, blunt, socially retarded man with very severe OCD who never leaves his house except to eat. He meets a succubus who helps him overcome some of his OCD related challenges.
Should be pretty relatable to any wizard.

Not a movie, but "Rose of Versailles" is flawless and deals with some really tear-jerking romance in the third part. I take every opportunity I can to recommend it.

Edit: Just remembered there are several live-action movie adaptations of "Rose of Versailles". Avoid those, I had the original anime series in mind: http://myanimelist.net/anime/338/Rose_of_Versailles

>>19926
no problem bro, fun talk.

just out of curiosity, do you have a waifu?

>>19928

Of course, been with her for three years now, although things are much more complicated than I'd like them to be. What about you?

>>19929
not at the moment. it's something i'm contemplating.

>>19931

I think you have the wrong approach-- I like to think there's a difference between thought and emotion. You can choose to either inhibit or boost some thoughts, which is why people can repress so many things, but you can't really control your emotions by simple thought as it takes much more than that. Perhaps you're hesitating when faced to a specific 2d concept that tickles your fancy? Perhaps you're not sure if those feelings are to be accepted yet? Or perhaps you're simply considering the wish for a waifu? In any case, I wish you the best of luck in finding happiness, be it under the banner of waifuism or another.

...you think about her several times a day, every day, for years.

You kiss your sweet lovely wife on the computer screen each time she gets MvP.

When you rewatch or reread the favorite scenes of your waifus source material almost on a daily basis, just so you can watch her rip and tear through some people again and again.

>>19902
She looks quite happy in that picture

>>19888
If it isn't enough to be a dealbreaker, you could strive to improve the rest of yourself to make up for it.

>>19887
>>19890
What does that have to do with it? Initial attraction can't be negotiated once decided. Unless we're operating under the assumption that interaction with 2D would be entirely different from 3D, and she would suddenly change her mind about you once she saw your dedication and passion (like an archetypal 'never give up' anime scene/montage).

>>19894
>Initial attraction can't be negotiated once decided.

Do you think people never change their views of others, or find themselves attracted to someone over time?

>>19895

I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I'm under the impression that we're talking about a scenario where your waifu says, after already knowing (and possibly dating) you, "I'm not interested in being your partner, let's just be friends." Biologically speaking, once a female rules out a potential mate, that perception does not change.

If it's a scenario where you just met her and she wants to start off as friends, then yes, it's perfectly plausible that she could end up attracted to you.

Rachel is a very proud and refined lady to begin with partly due to her canon father most likely and the fact she is immortal might have given her better prospective over time I imagine raising her would not be a hard thing at all to do but I believe her mean streak she has could present some problems since I have one at times myself with certain aspects of that in both of us and I'll be honest while she knows a lot she can get ahead of herself on rare occasions would probably challenge authority when she seems appropriate though when she has in canon it was within reason. I'd teach her all the essentials of etiquette and proper discipline with some of the more positive aspects of my nature and philosophy but I'd want her to find her own way and not make the mistakes I have.

One thing I have to consider Rachel as a human might be much different compared to a vampire, I don't know really anything before the vampirism bit of her most is unknown to me so mortal Rachel could be much different.

If it's from infancy it's a bit hard to imagine her growing up with the same personality, especially since much of what made her who she is can be clearly and directly linked to her family members and the role they played in her upbringing. That said, she's been characterized has having a very strong connection with her father, which could be a good thing but alternatively might be hard to live up to. It'd be a bit weird, but I guess I'd try to be a good dad?

For me the difference is that the adoration for the other person never lasts, no matter how annoying and strong it is at that time. I learned the difference between love for my waifu and the adoration(or however you want to call it) for another girl so I just let it pass (though I still find it very annoying and feel very guilty when it happens to me)

And when I rewatch my waifu's source material after some time, it just hits me why it's her and not any other girl for me.

Similar situation happened to me but the reason was very much justified the relationship was already broken due to my nature and rather unfortunate actions I took against a few people. I was holding onto it hard but realized several months later it was futile it could not be repaired to it's original state but left on rather good terms and I still keep her merch as well she just had to much of a impact on me. Another one appeared around that time Rachel, similarities but at the same time many differences someone made a comment I must have a thing for aristocratic girls but she proved to be more matching to a lot of aspects of my nature but not all and in return I'm learning more manners and to appease my nature through more constructive yet just as dastardly ways.

As long as your feelings stay true for the original the second one here is probably just one that will pass you by.

I'm happy to marry her. Waifu and me.

After a relationship of 9 years, one day he just said it was the next step. It shocked me but made sense, he is actually reserved and traditional. I've been cautious and avoided the term "husband" in the past, but now I can call him that freely in my mind. By this time
in our reality, not the Konomi's lucrative one, in which time does not pass
we are 27 and 26 y/o, quite accomplished and ready to take the next step.
As for the ceremony itself we think it could be at a park in our city (traditional japanese) and only two close friends as guests. My job allows me to have a go and take a picture in traditional kimono there (to comission a drawing of the scebe with him later) and just pass as an ordinary event if somebody asks later about my picture. From that day we will start wearing our rings.
As for the honeymoon, that is something we can't decide. We want to do a real trip, so we are ok if it is not right after the wedding.

Well, that's all. And I am really happy to share it.
I've been a ROM member here for years, but this time I had to speak up.
To marry or not your SO is the couple's choice, but I wish all the best for everybody here.

The thought came to me as of late, becoming sololy devoted to someone for me would be a big step in my life but I feel a lot of the negative aspects of myself would die by doing so not a bad thing but I'm not ready to change I feel.

I've never liked concepts like Marriage, having views that traditionalism is poisonous but lately I question my own views on the matter. Many are much more happy than I am with their devotion I need more time to figure out myself but I do feel now it's not entirely a impossibility.

It's been a loving relationship for 5 years with some kinks here and there, each one making my love for her stronger. Personally, I think we're good where we are, but I'd be ecstatic at the idea of actually marrying her.

If we did go down that road, the wedding would probably be a small, traditional eastern style with only a few friends and family. Nothing too big or loud, since we both tend to like to go about things in a modest manner.

>>19344
Did you respond to the wrong thread?

>>19346
Yes...
Wrong thread it is.
A random puzzle piece.
Would never fit in such a panel.
This i already knew.

Now answer me.
But do not reply.
What punishment is enough.
For those who have made.
The ones who loved them cry.
Death is peaceful paradise.
Perhaps the punishment is life.
