You would be surprised. I had a guy in his 40s I work with ask me how to change the settings on a router a week or two back.

Yesterday I was talking with a female co-worker of mine who asked about my plans for Christmas, to which I replied that I was going to spend it with my family.
For some reason she then asked me if I had plans for Christmas Eve and I had to dodge the question rather than telling her that I was going to be sitting on a cold park bench.
Bravo, just, bravo. Well guys it's 2AM over here and when I wake up is going to be a big day. Got to go buy a pack of cigars and prepare to hit the Town Center after dinner to spend the bench with a pillow having a slapped on image of my husbando, Q. I'll be posting my adventures with him on /a/ around 11PM-12AM central so if you guys want to keep an eye out for it. Until then, cheers and see you at the benches fellow bros.

Dammit, what happened?
Everything was going well, and then her father has to pass away.
Now she's gone, bags and everything.
Her family hates me because I'm Chinese, and I can't even comfort her when she needs me the most.
And then she tells me she's breaking up with me over the phone a few hours ago.
Goddammit.
Why the fuck did this happen on christmas?
....Why?

posting from a bench in my near park, with a cigar and a flask of whisky. it's not cold because it's summer here, but it's nighttime. glad to take this challenge with you guys. Brofist to all, i'm not gonna write something silly, you already know how I feel with all of you.
Status: Failed, basically no changes since my post.
Bench sitting was cool, I just chilled in the main park downtown for a while then went to eat with family.
Ill watch the higurashi dubs later with you guys if someone streams em.
Btw we should totally keep this thread alive with a 2011 challenge, whos up for it?

Hey, non-participant here,
I read all of your stories, and I think that even with all the failure, most of you (not the 100 guy, but whatever) gained something from it, and hopefully in the long run, it helps out. Merry Christmas.
Admittedly I'm envious of your courage and determination, but you really should have worked out different approaches and/or worked on doing something to make yourself more confident or desirable when you saw what you were doing wasn't working.
God though, you must have fucking BALLS OF STEEL. If I had the amount of courage you do I would be a lot better off.

The bench was colder than I thought, I wish I could have held someone in my arms to keep me warm ;_;
Anyways, someone should put up a livestream later and show higurashi dubbed ON YOUTUBE.
Apologies for not making the bench-sitting, but bizarrely I had a social commitment - I had an old friend flying in that I had to see. I didn't get home until well after midnight, having cycled four miles home on icy roads and temperatures of -11°C (12°F). The things I do for the façade of normalcy...
Still, I'll get to that bench if it kills me; this has to be one of the most fulfilling failures I've ever experienced. Odd, but I'm grateful. I salute you, anons.

So after months of failing, I finally rekindled with an old friend from high school, and after hanging out a few times, I actually asked her out on a date and she said yes. We were set to go out on the 23rd, but then she texted me to say she's sick with a fever. So since nothing happened, I had to resign myself to my fate... That bench was cold.
Anyway, later that night (on the 23rd), I go on Facebook and suddenly she's listed as "in a relationship" with some dude. Fever, my ass. I felt like shit. Another crushing defeat.
Like I said, I don't use the site, so I was thinking that it might have just said that she was in a relationship.
From my experiences if a girl is hesitant to commit to a time or flakes in any way shape or form, she's not interested. In this case she pulled it last minute and you already figured it out, but it's pretty lame shit she pulled.
Anyway, you'll find someone else, I think you just got hit with bad timing this time, well that and she's a cunt.

FOREVER ALONE

I accepted the challenge in late November, had a few forever alone moments, but luckily I went to a friends birthday party in a club and met a nice girl there, who I started going out through December. I actually spent today in a park sitting on a cold-ass bench, but at least not alone.
Now the real challenge comes in: Keep a mid-term relationship and score to get rid of the nasty "virginity" point on my bucket list.

Nice to see things have worked out for some.
Reporting from the bench. It's Christmas night and my lonely is in a concrete 'garden' in the centre of the city. This is a city of half a million, and usually this spot is teeming; right now there is nobody else here. The nearby bus terminus and metro stop are deserted. There's just me, a backpack and a bike, overlooking a deserted Xmas market and listening to Christmas In The Silent Forest by ROX. Ironically, it was a white Christmas too, the first in years. It's beautifully lonesome.
I'm the only single guy here.
Hell, I'm the only anybody here.
Perhaps this is what it really means to be lonely
Anyway, when the music stops I'll head home. Goodnight.
What should the punishment be for this year's amagami challenge? I m going to assume the park is going to stay as option A since its canon but for option B what do you guys think?

For those who left as I was dumping the various guides; here was the last one AFTER I said the bro one was the last one. Enjoy yandere lovers.
Well, despite having my internet cut (my dad got some tips from a IT guy at his job on how to encrypt the network so he isn't that stupid ) I still followed through.
Turns out my family was going to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, so a few hours earlier, I had to go buy some sodas from the local Giant.
And wouldn't you know there was a little park nearby with the nicest looking benches.
So I sat, and I sat, and I sat some more, listening to this before the battery ran out:

I didn't realize this was going on till it was already over. I inadvertently participated though. Unfortunately I didn't know about the bench otherwise I would have been with you guys.

We should do a Amagami Challenge 2011.
and this time, everyone who fails needs to post a picture of themselves doing fail pose on the bench.
Then we shall do a failpose collage. lol
If it does happen, it will be the most depressing collage in history. In various ways.
