Amagami Challenge Thread Part 2

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 think I was the 49th post in the original thread. This will be the fourth year attempting this, and several girls later, I still haven't found anyone who reciprocates my feelings.

I might have a better chance this year.

Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

>>122
Pretty sure that isn't the definition of insanity nor did he say that

>>122
Pretty sure he said it was an example of it, not the definition. It's not like I've tried the same approach every time.

I just want someone who loves me as much as I love them.

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.

Just noticed there's a few days left, and I couldn't make any advances because final exams. I'll try to make something without hurrying things, besides, I'm kinda tired of waiting, she better gives me signs of hope or I'll move on.

Any updates? Would love to hear how it turned out for you guys who took the challenge this year.

It's different for me because I met my girlfriend last year and was already getting to know her at the beginning of 2013, but yeah, I managed to win. We're going out tonight. I was one of the depressed guys on here in 2012 though, so it can happen.

I didn't try to get a girlfriend but when you think about how the time flows... It feels like this thread was just posted the other day

>>128
Same as >>129. I have won the Miya challenge last year.

I hope some of you succeeded this year! If not, let's try for an other year.

Welp couldn't get any advances, perhaps for next year, this girl sure takes her time.

god damn it

another year, another christmas spent alone

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?

next verse same as the first
oh well

The bench was kind to me tonight.

No advances, some improvements. Ah well, damage report.

The park bench was surprisingly warm.

I really need someone to talk to. I really can't take it. Fuck.

>>138
Not sure if it's too late for this but here's my Skype: future.gazer

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.

Bretty nice bench, tobaco filled my chest instead of...
Sigh it's raining.

>>138 here.

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.

>>142
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?

>>143
At their house.

Park bench for me tomorrow night. Better luck next yr.

>>142 here.

Nobody I have ever met has been worthy of my time. Should I just give up?

Guys, Guys...are there any mods here?

>>146
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.

>>146
But are you worth anyone's time?
(Excluding me saying this to you, of course).

2014 will be better, right?  4's are cooler than 3's.  I'll feel more comfortable with this year.

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

>>151
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.

>>151
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.

>>151
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.

>>154
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.

>>155
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.

>water aerobics
Do you get to weave baskets in there too?

>>156
I don't see why not.

It's all about finding someone to love that matters.

>>159
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
Focus on science
