Welp, the old thread suddenly got spammed to hell and back. Though it says something when we've managed to keep it active for about two and a half years after I initially started this challenge, so maybe it was time for change anyways.
Therefore, this will be the new Amagami Challenge thread from now on.

I’ve apparently made enough progress that a girl I know told me I don’t look like someone who would like anime. Granted said girl is Gaiafag-tier with little shame whatsoever, but it was still an interesting comment. It’s nice that I don’t feel utterly disgusted with myself when I look in the mirror, but I still don’t feel THAT normal.
Either way, I’m not having the best of luck outside of personal improvement. I have no idea how to meet people outside of class, and I go to a small college and I’m part of one of the smallest departments there (Think like 20 students total). My friends' social circles are all small as well. Any ideas?

I don't have ideas, I'm in a big college and we are about 40 students it's not really like it's a better thing. I also go to class with few students and I think it's better to make friends.

dating sites have a huge gender gap with a disproportionally large amount of guys to girls. with that sort of environment competition is fierce and as a consequence the standards of women there are far higher. basically even normal guys have trouble getting anything from that site, imagine what chance the average anon has,
basically its worth more his time to actually go outside and meet girls than doing it online.

Found a girl. I think we hit it off good.
The only problem is that she's a cashier at my school cafeteria and that's the only time I've ever seen her.
So somehow I have to make lasting impressions in a very short time frame (so as not to get her trouble and hold up the line).
Should I ask for her phone number and etc. while she's working or is that too much?

It's too personal to elaborate on, of course. But I should say that I'm 21 and I spent 12th grade valentine's on /jp/ and I've never had a gf. If I can do it, so can you.
So yes, don't let 2Dcon apathy ruin your life. It's better to be heartbroken than to be empty, and I can tell you as just another awkward /a/non who liked Clannad at age 16 that the payoff is there and that it's worth it.

I know that feel... But well, now it's not a really big deal. Well 17 is a bit young because she's still in High School (I don't know how is it in others countries, in mine 18 is university). People tend to think that you should wait until she's major.

Two years ago I won the challenge.
Four days ago she dumped me.
She said she doesn't love me anymore.
She gave me thanks for everything, and said she respected me a lot and wanted to stay close to me as a friend.
I agreed, and told her I wasn't going to surrender, that I wanted to make her love me again.
But I know I'll just fight a lost battle.
Hold me, someone, please, I don't want to live anymore.

What do you want to know? In short:
I kokuhaku my sister last year, I begin falling in love with her about in 2012. I don't really know, I think I just "put away" the taboo of incest bit by bit.
She was in love since a long time, she always wanted to date me, but well... incest taboo.
We live with our parents, they know nothing, it was really hard to hide that. I mean... when you want to go on date it's hard being in a city where friends/family can see you.
However we date sometimes, and it was great. My happiest moment in date was when she bought some cloth (that's so cliché I know) the worker said to her "you're boyfriend will surely love this".
Then... we got into college and decided to live ourself. We choose a college a bit far of home, and we live together since then. It's really easier and better, at college you don't need to know all people, so they don't know you're sibling.
We get to home sometimes, but today nobody knows we are in love. I don't really care if they find out, but it's better if nobody know about that.
I love her and she loves me, that's all the matter.

I won't look specificly for a girlfriend this year. Might still wheep
I'm back, I'll use this name from now on, I think I'll have some thing or other to report every month or so.
We never did really cut our relations, we talked like nothing happened, avoiding the subject and acting more or less like just before we started going out. I did that until now. I knew I changed from when our story started, and not overall, but many aspects of my personality changed for better or worse, and I did notice after we break up that the only possible way to bring her back to me was to take my time, look deep into my heart and discover what was wrong (seriously, I made sure she wasn't cheating me or something, so there MUST be something that changed for the worse that made her stop loving me) and "fix" it.
So I took my time without telling her to rediscover me, to grow, to be again the man she once loved, but with 2 years worth of experience, and I set the 19th of august, the day we could've celebrated our second aniversary, as the day of our "reencounter and reveal".
I asked her out for coffee to talk and stuff, we talked about the most trivial stuff, and, in between, we talked about how we felt about this all, about my theory that was my fault she stopped loving me, and more important than all: we both agreed we needed our time to think about us, not separated at all, but it was impossible for any of us to retake our relationship in our current mental states, nor with us but with any third party. So we'll be friends, best friends, for now.
She doesn't love me now, but she isn't closed to the idea of letting me make her love me again.
I love her, but I need to know if it's for the time we spent together, because I lover her for what she is, or if it's just a really strong "I miss being with her" feeling.
I will give her a book I wanted to give her just before we break up, because she will give me a gift she promised me before this too. And we'll be going for chinese food (not the american types, here this places aren't what you would call fast food, most of these places are serious and expensive as fuck) in the future, so I'll tell you it all went on that day.
To conclude: I'll take the challenge this year, I'll reatake her heart, I don't have any security that it'll work but believe, I'll not fucking surrender until she tells me to stop trying. I'll win.
Thanks guys.
I don't really recall people winning two+ years ago, but since I did it once, I'm confident I'll do it again, and so everyone here with a pair of balls.

I don't give up! Not like I have other things to do anyway.
I commented to a friend I thought one of the girls in his building was really cute (he's a live-in tutor for a dorm). His response was to talk to her and get her to come talk to me when I was visiting him the other day. She's really shy, but apparently an anime fan who thinks the fact I also like it is pretty awesome. I also somehow through adrenaline-induced suaveness casually invited her to a maid cafe. How the fuck did this happen.
I'm terrified. No idea if this girl is interested platonically or romantically, or if she only thinks I'm cool because I'm an upperclassman (insert senpai joke here). Well I suppose we'll if this actually goes anywhere.

Don't overthink shit, play as if she's just friendly with you, go to said cafe, talk stuff and hear whatever she wants to say, take hints of her facial expressions to make any assumptions. Think coldly or you'll fuck up. Think with your brain, not your hearth, not your penis; and you'll be able to take the correct path to know what the fuck she wants/thinks.
And that takes me to my own "advances", short story short, she's seeking me back, I've gladly spent time chatting for hours nearly every day with her, and then decided to drop in and asked her what the fuck, seems she's pretty insecure so she asked me to let her take her time to think things over before jumping in, since she doesn't want to go tru the bad things that happened before all over again, I accepted and now it's a matter of time. I think this'll be resolved before christmass.
You did well to actually ask her what she wanted instead of being generic indecisive maincharacter. Well done anon.

I may understand what you're going through. I've wondered sometimes if i just love everyone or if i have a serious problem lol. I found that it's easier to accept that; it's okay to be on your own. That we are all great people and we do not need a single person to confirm our existance and make it meaningful each day. There are better ways to go about finding meaning in your life.

Considering these threads are rarely added to i will go as far as to predict the reply to my comment.
If that's not the point then you must ask how you can expect someone to be happy with you if you cannot be happy within yourself? The feeling of being accepted never meant being accepted by others it is when you finally accept your own position in life, that is when you will be able to truely open up and find the people that share your core values.
Until then you can try but if you do so you are relying on chance to bring you the right person at the right time whilst in the right state of mind to be able to comprehend a relaxed relationship which is a very specific set of boundaries.
And if you were to meet the person you are looking for do you think it would even go as you expect if you were to be wading within those boundaries at the time.
Occasionally it can be about letting go of the expectation of being able to reach a perfect circumstance quickly and realising that there is no quick solution to creating a long term and meaningful relationship with someone. Even those failed attempts can mean something later down the track so don't think that just because they aren't looking for the same things now that they won't be later on.
After all if you agreed upon everything you would have not much left to say and you wouldn't have created any memories capable of being something you can both look back at and relate to.

Went ice skating with a friend last night before she had to leave for home that same night. Looks like that's the best that I can manage for now so park bench for me.
Also is the park bench supposed to be on Christmas or Christmas Eve?

No advances, some improvements. Ah well, damage report.
The park bench was surprisingly warm.

Goddamn, 4 years after starting this whole thing and quite honestly I think my situation might have improved if it wasn't for the fact I got laid off a little while ago. Guess all I can do for now is finish rewatching Kaoru's route. Merry Christmas y'all: you and I will find "her" one of these days.
I want to find a rich, well-bred, well-raised ojou-sama from an influential family who's delicate and trained in flower arrangement and tea ceremonies and is at the top of her class. I also want them to be younger than me, so they should probably still be in high school, and they need to be at the top of their class, because I won't accept anyone who isn't at least as academically strong as I am. They also need a cute face.
How do I go about finding these people? I know they exist.
I don't want anyone else. If I had anyone else I would spend the rest of my life wondering what it would be like if I had found such an ideal person later. I would rather have nobody than someone who doesn't fit all of these criteria. I have no idea how to locate such people though.

I think I'll finally bite the bullet and take the challenge for 2014. No prospects right now. Probably won't even really be be going anywhere until New Year's Eve.

I don't know, man. I'm not even sure those girls rally exist in 3D. At what sort of places would your perfect girl like to hang out?
Nobody I have ever met has been worthy of my time. Should I just give up?

Nope, never give up. Just keep your eyes and heart open and you will eventually meet that special someone. But of course that wouldn't happen if you don't get out there and meet people, you have to do your part.

Everyone, what are your plans/strategies to win the Amagami Challenge in 2014?

Since we had issues at my Uni, I'll get on vacations past half january, and then work far away my home all summer (it's summer here) so I don't know if I can make any advances until march, but I'll try to give it a shot this weeks. Also I had a great new year's day, so I'm pretty confident this year is the year.

I don't know. Keep better track of concerts. I'm into "artsy" girls, I guess. Concerts aren't a bad place to meet them. Not great at starting conversations, but at least the fact that we're both at the same concert means we probably have something in common. Maybe drink or two would help. Usually abstain because most of my friends don't drink, but they don't actually care if I do.
I know how to waltz, and a bit of other ballroom dancing stuff. Maybe find somewhere to do that more, but I haven't had much luck with that in the past. Dancing to meet girls just seems weird.
I guess I should really just do more things.

Make more friends, probably, and just work my way from there. My issue in previous years was that I never really talked to people much at all. I was also into the whole hiding my power level thing so when I did talk to people I'd just seem like a boring person that's completely detached and uninterested in anything.
Also, does it count as winning the Amagami Challenge when you're with a guy? I'm bisexual and I recently got a cute boy's number and I'm pretty sure he's into guys too.

Maybe get into something you're not embarrassed talking about, or I guess you could try to meet weebs, but that's usually an awful idea. Most of the obvious weebs are obnoxious. I think I just got lucky that I had some cool people in my Japanese class freshman year.
Also, I'm sure a guy counts, if that's what you're into. There is the bro version of the challenge.

I found that there are a lot of weebs out there that are worth talking to. Obviously the Naruto headband ones are completely out though.
But I was talking about just not going out of my way to completely feign ignorance about the subject altogether. When people asked me about my hobbies and stuff, I'd just say "music" and be very vague about what kind of music I like because I only listen to weeb music. If they press further, I'd just list obscure genres like breakcore and Scandinavian death metal to get them to stop asking me about it because I couldn't keep bullshitting them about it any further.
I knew it was weird and creepy of me to be like that but being on /a/ really made me afraid of the potential of running into nightmare weebs that I'd just be very distant with everyone I met until I realized that all my friends were just people that I say hi to when I pass by them on campus or talk with about really inconsequential things like the weather that day.
Also, don't want to seem like a social justice white knight here (but I guess I am since I'm asking this) but is this challenge open to women at all?

I guess this is the end of week one. I'm not if I've even talked to any single girls this week, so I'm making great progress.
I guess I start class tomorrow, so there's that. Only water aerobics and a Japanese class with only like 5 people in it, though.

love is just a chemical reaction in the brain that forces mammals to breed,
It starts up high and then its slows down leaving you in a failing marriage,
I did it , your parents did it
Stop the cycle , rise above

Hung out with a cute girl during Valentine's Day. Met up with her at night and we just hung out until Sunday at midnight, jumped between places and different groups of people. Hell of a day and a half. She already has a boyfriend (long distance relationship) but it was a hell lot better than spending Valetine's Day sitting in my room masturbating and being sad or sitting in a room with other sad virgins talking about how we're sad virgins.
Guy who made the original poster here.
I had totally forgotten about the Amagami Challenge till I went looking through my old pictures folder today. I hadn't realized it but the changes I did (clothes getting out more etc) stuck around since I failed it the first year this started. Its a good thing they did because I was lucky enough to have completed the challenge last year.
Best of luck to you guys.
Also: I'd be willing to update the poster with suggestions or just even change the year if you guys are interested. You can just post them here and I'll check it out in a week or two.

You could add in self-improvement challenges like "lose X amount of weight by December 24th", "make X number of new friends", "Improve school grades by December 24th", "learn to play a musical instrument", or just "be more socially active", you get the idea...
If those who take the challenge end up not being able to find a girlfriend come Christmas-time, they will still be a better person than when they started.
