Amagami Challenge

Goal: Get girlfriend by 12/24 like in Amagami SS!

Post any stories, luck or progress you've had towards your goal.

>>120
Only real goal is to get a girlfriend by 12/24.

Failure to do so means having to watch all of Higurashi dubbed on the Funi website.

Three months remaining until the Moon crashes into the Earth.

>>121

I'm going to lose.

>>122

Don't worry I don't think you're alone.

It seems like there are a decent amount of people who are actually alright with girls doing this but maybe 1/4th of us are almost completely out of our element here.

I have zero prospects and many barriers to face on this task which will make it almost impossible in the amount of time presented. However I think it's important to put forth the best effort you can and try to improve your life. Even if you don't succeed in the challenge if you can make more progress toward your goal it will be worth it and you can continue to move forward and reach the goal later on.

I'm surprised people are actually participating in this.

Eh, good luck to those who do.

I guess i'll enter this challenge...

So we've got 3 months heh? doesn't give me alot of time to get everything in order before i find a girl. But before everything i have to take my drivers test. I'm 18, 2 jobs, never had a girlfriend nor' kissed before, been rejected once, but i don't really care.

First Month  : Drivers License + Car
Second Month : ????????
Third Month  : Girlfriend

（ ´,_ゝ`) it's a long road for this fellow..

I'll try this.

Just turned 24, last year of college, never even been kissed.  I'm fairly lean, and I go bike riding almost every day so I might be passable.  My parents made me run track in high school, which I hated with every fiber of my being.  It led to me being asked out a couple of times in highschool by some misguided females who hadn't realized on first impression that I'm an anime/VN/computer nerd.

But I'm cripplingly shy, always have been.  I never talk to anyone, and as a result I haven't had any actual "friends" since highschool.  I've been living a hikkimori lifestyle throughout college, and its gotten to the point where I'm now having dreams about the time in my life where I did have friends.

Dammit, this is turning into a shitty livejournal.  Sorry.  Anyway I'm going to try to give up my diet of energy drinks and ramen, maybe maybe get a haircut.  But the thought of doing that might send me into a nervous breakdown.  Oh God.  Fortunately(?) I don't have a job right now!

>>123
>However I think it's important to put forth the best effort you can and try to improve your life.

Wise words, 123. As of now, things that have been the same as usual. All women I am acquainted with from classes have boyfriends. My standards are not high at all, even girls most people would be turned off by have boyfriends.

When did this happen? Well, luckily I find out before I ask anything that would embarrass myself, like the time I asked out a girl who was engaged to the guy I was partnered with in class and I had no idea.

I'll accept the challenge since I suppose I don't have anything better to do, though it'll probably be damn near impossible considering my circumstances.

I just moved to Memphis, Tennessee since I ran out of money and had to move back in with my parents.  I started school recently though, there aren't really any girl's in my class but I've been hoping to meet someone at the college I've been going to.

So... the odds are stacked against me, not only do I not have any prospects where I am, but I have no friends here either.  Heaven or Hell, lets rock.

Friend told me about the Challenge. Kinda funny, cuz this Valentine's Day will mark the 2 year anniversary of my ex cheating on me. So the Challenge ends on Christmas instead of St. V's Day. Whatever.

The next day, I met a girl on the bus.

Everything is going better than expected.

I've never had a girlfriend, but who gives a shit?
I'm probably gonna lose anyway.

When I first saw this topic.
I lol'ed a little.
Than I saw people are taking this seriously...
So I'm gonna join too.

Asked some girl out and found out that some girl I work with likes me.

If I lose I will watch those shitty things...
and I hope I'm gonna win this...

>>118 here
I managed to get close to a girl, but something like that isn't uncommon, I'm still the "safe" guy.
But I did get a very good advice from this girl: Perfume, use it.

You don't need to look buff, you don't need to be a perfect gentleman.
Just smelling nice will attract girls.
And get a hobby other than animu and gaems.

And about the girl, I still see no hope for an actual relationship between me and her.
I'll persevere and see where this goes.

>>135
>Perfume, use it.

Really? I personally can't stand it, even on girls it's kind of bothersome. (But this is from my own personal standpoint, as many 'perfumey' things like strong lotions and sprays give me sort of an allergic reaction.)

Luckily, I have no notable smell other than my deodorant.

As far as hobbies are concerned, that I can understand. No one cares if you like games or anime, everyone uses that (at least games) as a hobby.

Addressing them during the conversation can be good, don't over use their name but do it at least once when you talk to them. Being confident in the path you've chosen at work or school is also a plus.

B-but what if I draw lolis being fucked in various holes?
Do I need to show her my pictures?

Gentlemen, I have failed.

I met a girl a bit over a month ago and we connected pretty much instantly. Over the course of a few weeks we ended up closer than I've ever been with a person before (not exaggerating in the least). We were working together on an event for those weeks and we spent a lot of time together and things progressed quickly. The event came and went and everyone pretty much recognized us as a couple.
I live in another state and we were prepared to do whatever it took to make a long distance relationship work. It was fine for me because I enjoy road trips and could go most any weekend to visit. I scheduled next weekend to go stay with her.
We'd been talking on the phone/text/IM/etc nearly every day. One of our long conversations on the phone we ended up on the topic of faith. I knew it was pretty important to her, she's the church going type and belongs to a religious student group and much of her future goals are oriented around that. I, on the other hand, have only been in a church for weddings and funerals. I find the religious texts teach good morals and ethics, but religion doesn't really have much of a place in my life. We explain our positions to each other and I try to make it clear that I support what she's doing but that it isn't quite as huge to me (now) as it is and has been to her.

Fast forward to last night. She calls me quite late and I knew something was wrong. We make a bit of small talk about our weekends and she asks if I remember our discussion from the other night and of course I do. At this point I can tell she's practically in tears from the sound of her voice. She reiterates how important faith and spirituality is to her and goes on to say that since we last talked, her feelings had changed. At this point I'm completely dumbfounded and speechless. Have you ever had an absolute sure thing and then had the rug pulled out from under you at the last second? I attempt to reiterate my support but I can tell she's thought long and hard about this and there's no longer a chance for me to change her mind. We share a few more minutes of awkwardness and wishing each other well and after a minute or two of silence we finally say goodbye and hang up. Out of any fault she could find with me, it had to be something where I couldn't even make a conscious effort to change if I wanted to. She needs someone that can stand with her in in equal footing in spirit, and I'm just not guy.
Remember that scene in Full Metal Jacket where they beat the crap out of Pvt Pyle with the soap bars wrapped in towels? I'm feeling like that and have been for the last 24 hours. This was the beginning of my new life with the person I was sure was "the one" and in under thirty minutes it was all gone. This all started before I knew of this challenge, but now that everything has come crashing down so quickly I felt I should pass along my experience with you guys. Be careful with love, it's a double edged sword and the side facing you is jagged and rusty. I don't think there's ever been a point in my life where I've felt this dead inside, and I haven't shed a single tear in ten years but I cried like a bitch last night (I held my cool while we talked, least). I'll attempt to forget about her but likely fail miserably. Any girl I meet in the future will inevitably be compared to this girl and that's not fair to anyone.

I had hoped that taking the time to write all this would ease my pain a bit, but frankly, it's only made things worse. Thanks anyway for reading my wall of text and I wish you all the best in your journeys of love.

>>138
should've converted bro

>>138
That's just sick, you mean she dumped you because you weren't religious? I have a problem seeing the logic in that if she wasn't a real religious nutshell, and in that case she would've never dated you in the beginning.

>>138

You didn't fail. You succeeded in creating a meaningful relationship with her and unfortunately things didn't work out.

Most people go though this sort of rejection, it's a natural part of life so if you're going to try and live life to the fullest you're going to unfortunately have to deal with the more painful side of things.

I understand that you're upset now because I've gone though similar circumstances before. You need to accept this and move on with your life, granted I understand that this Isn't something that's easy to do and that it's going to take some time regardless of how well you deal with it.

In life we all face adversity and these experiences whether positive or negative have the potential of either making you stronger or ruining you. About 9 years ago I went though a circumstance that was similar to yours. I took it very personally and to a large extent I closed my heart off to other people as a result. I was miserable, I hurt people around me who cared about me and I ended up ignoring and indirectly rejecting other girls who later had feelings for me because I was unable to move on from the past.

To a large extent I still don't think I've really moved on although I've kind of come to grips with my shortcomings at this point and am getting to the point where I am ready to.

I don't want you to end up like me. Take your time and deal with it but when the pain starts to stop think about the positive aspects of your experiences with her. You were able to find a girl who you really clicked with and you were able to show her a side of yourself that interested and attracted her. the only reason why it didn't work out is because she's unable to accept that you have different beliefs than she does. Granted I have no issue with her being religious, but this is really her problem and not yours. You were straight up and honest with her and you did nothing wrong.

Make it into a positive learning experience rather than letting yourself become a victim. there are lots of other girls out there and if your lucky you may meet one you like even more than this one, but in order to do that you need to open yourself up and try.

>>138
You might not realize it now, but you`ve been saved from spending god knows how much time suffering with a dumb bitch. Staying away from those "religious" types will do you good. And don`t worry, you`ll find someone even better and sane. Anyway, I wish you luck.
Also, just be yourself, there`s no real need in blaming yourself that you are not suited to someone else`s tastes.

You assholes have no idea how tempting this challenge is to undertake.

I've got great advantages on the lot of you too, but a few crippling disadvantages.

On the plus:
I have a job. I live in a major metropolitan area. I live on the beach. I have a six pack. I engage in a unique skill/hobby that is visually impressive and tons of fun to show off at. I've had girls before, no real anxiety other than I fucking hate people.

On the con:
No car. (Public transit is good in this city) Living with my dad. New to the city(see above). No College.

I almost feel like I could take up the challenge, then forget about it till December and do it then. Getting a dumb bitch is pretty easy... but it's just not worth it, it'd be a status thing.

I want a nerdy girl... What say ye Anon? Shall this Anon narrowcast to nerdfem?

>>135
Maybe shower more regularly, and dig the soap deep into your pores, then immediately use deodorant. Cologne helps a lot, but don't OD, cuz it can be too powerful. Personally, I like two sprits right over the collar bone. It's fairly subdued, but when a girl gets in close, it's a subtle scent that tingles in their nose, but isn't offensive. It's inviting.

I would take this challenge if I think it was possible for a girl to be the way as I like her. along with the 2d 3rd etc.

I have no confidence either, I am pretty sure you could tell by the way I type.

>>146
You will never find an ideal one, just hope you can find decent girl and shape her into ideal waifu!

After watching the latest Amagami, I realized something.

I will never have a bro like Hibiki bail me out like that ;_;

So how's everyone doing so far?

>>149
I ain't even trying. I'm not going to fuck anyone at work, and I'm doing nothnig at weekend. Maybe I'll enroll to some classes on weekends and give it a try.

>>130
AWWW SHIT HERE WE GO!

So, femanon here. I'm always told that I'm cute and interesting but I'm shy as fuck so I've never had a boyfriend. I always see the Amagami challenge threads and think "Oh look, lonely neckbeards trying to hook-up before christmas" but I guess after reading some of these posts, I guess you're all just genderbent versions of myself.

I'm participating now. Boyfriend by 12/24 or I stream all of Higurashi dubbed, in the front of my school's computer lab for further humiliation.

Just went to the movies with her last friday, I wanted to hold her hand but I didn´t do it. Anyways I think that I´m making some progress.

>>152

Not all guys are just interested in fucking.

If the majority of us here were we'd probably be more experienced. Personally I've turned down random hook ups before. I want a girl who I can connect with, not a one night stand or a fuck buddy.

>>154
I on the other hand, have turned down random hook ups because of my nervousness.  I can go either way, really, its just that I can't bear the thought of making an ass of myself.

>>155

>>129 here

Nothing ever happened with that girl on the bus. I was too nervous to actually go over and say something. And I haven't seen her since.

>forever alone

Still looking for a job. The fact that I'm still fighting my inner sociopath means finding reasons to actually want a gf is tiresome.

In an effort to blitz my old thinking patterns I got rid of the Masa-san afro and straightened my hair. I now look mildly like an ethnic Hayate, with hints of Bill Kaulitz. My self-esteem has felt the benefit, so I can't complain. Will see if anything changes.

I'm also back on OKCupid (I don't go by 'Casali' there, that's strictly an /a/ thing), and will be more generous with my messaging. Unfortunately I'm registered as bi as per the request of a very eccentric male friend, and now 90% of all sources of interest are basically homolust. Changing the status abruptly would probably cause a backlash, as some are tracking me. Having these guys IM you out of nowhere is basically stalking with a pretty facade, but I'll persist for the sake of avoiding that Higurashi dub...

>>157
Good luck!

>>153
Going out with her again this friday, I haven´t decided where are we going to but she already accepted going out with me this friday.

69 again for another update

Haven't met the bus girl again unsurprisingly. Shy girl I've run into but haven't managed to strike up anything with. Lounge girl I've also seen but haven't approached.

I seem to be having trouble approaching these girls. I get the feeling that what I'm doing feels so unnatural and forced. In my head I look fine and normal talking to these people but then when I get within proximity a feeling of dread washes over me. I'm probably subconsciously thinking the worst and freeze up before even initiating anything. I know if I can get past that initial hump I can hold a conversation but I just can't seem to stop over thinking things.
