Not the worst idea.

>>590 here. Unfortunately, I'm done with school. I'm working a dead-end office job as of the moment. Finding girls once you're out of college becomes really hard unless you hit the clubs or bars, which I'm not fond of going to.

I just realized that my offline social circle is limited to a few guy co-workers, and the dudes from college who I played soccer with.

Higurashi dub, we shall meet again.

Trying to confess today... "need time to think" zetsubou deshita...

test

>>603
She doesn't speak to me today either, and she seems to avoid me...

>>605
Hahaha
That amuses me

>>605
"Sorry I don't want to go out with you. Do you really love me ?"
To be frank I'm not sad, just hurt. Really hurt... But it doesn't matter.

>>607
Ha!
That's funny

>>607
While I'm sad it didn't work out, I have to ask: did you ask her out casually or go full-on kokuhaku?

>>609
The latter

>>609
Casually. Maybe she's right when she saif "do you really love me"...

So laughing without a definite answer is a no right?

>>612
ＢＩＧ　ＮＯ

Does full-on kokuhaku even work IRL? It's the kind of thing that'd be hard to take seriously, but at least you tried.

It's a good reminder to watch that trigger finger, though. Early confessions can be as bad as friendzones.

>>614
Well, it's the implications behind it that are kind of misleading.
好き(suki) - like, love

In anime and manga, you hardly ever see a confession go successfully if you don't have a good relationship to a person anyways, like how Haruka turned down all the guys since she doesn't have any male friends until Junichi comes along and plays along with her.

Real life it's kind of the same thing, and even then, confession( or flat out saying I love you) would be much further down the line and can't be accomplished within a month or two like Junichi made it out to be.

You need to first get the girl interested in you, so you can starting "going out" just because the two of you "like" each other. The longer you're in a relationship with someone, the longer you come to understand them and learn more about them. If you've come to understand your partner well enough and you feel that they do as well, then you can pull out the "I love you" card. Doing it too soon will most likely end up as a misfire because you're still a stranger to the person in question. Reality sucks, but this is what we've got to do to deal with it.

>>615
What makes you the expert?

>>616
I'm not trying to pass myself off as any sort of expert, just reminding people that the events of Amagami occur over the course of a month.

Now, as far as believable relationships go, Kaoru and Rihoko are probably the best examples because Junichi had years of chemistry with the two of them before he started pursuing them (though arguably it had to be spelled out to him in Rihoko's case). Just saying if you go too fast, you're bound to leave her behind and can't go back.

>>613
Don't discourage him

I can't do this....I just can't

#/a/magami at Rizon. Let's try this? I added it to my auto-connect so let's see what happens.

>>619
Real life is more discouraging than learning Japanese or a competitive video game or pretty much anything else. It's really, really hard, which is why you're not supposed to give up.

>>620
might drop by tommorow after my test

>>620
Life is also not fair
And that is also why sometimes you quit while you're ahead.

>>622
But...you're not ahead...

>>615
Good advice. I am also like this now, I'm trying to get more and more close to the girl I like. I hope it'll work.

>>620
no one is ever on #/a/magami...

>>615
The hard part is not falling into the friendzone, right?

>>626
I imagine so, yeah. You'd have to constantly increase pressure (to use a fighting game term...) to show your interest and make sure you don't stagnate, and then top it off with the confession when you think you've won. Too fast and you get rejected; too slow and you get friendzoned.

>>627
All this without dropping too much spaghetti, huh...I think I'll go find a bench ;_;

>that feel when girl I was interested in already has a boyfriend

In hindsight, I should have done more research.

>>629
That sucks, man. Hopefully you didn't spend too much of your time on her.

>>629
dude if you ain't even able to do your own shit why should I bother?

>>40
I wouldn't want to find a girlfriend at work. Way too awkward.

>>632
You are responding to something written two years ago

>>633
What your point is?

>>631
Consider it character development. Which kinds of holds true to me recently since I got a haircut and I'm at least developed a few steady connections over the past few months.

>>635
you started this over two years ago, and you've only made progress in the past few months? what were you doing before then?

>>636
Working to raise my GPA and making money to pay for college expenses.

Plus it also helps that I finally have roommates who are outgoing but aren't indifferent to me.

Does texting a girl "please respond " really work?

>>638
Quite frankly, that really reeks of desperation. You could try starting a casual conversation with her, and if she's not indifferent to you she'll at least respond the first time, then from there your mileage may very. If you try this and get some response, I'd suggest not going for a long conversation, maybe 3-4 texts back and forth at most.

>>638
It works about as well as it does on 4chan.
