Oops

[The following is filter FROM Lucca. In theory it should be filtered TO a few of Ed's friends, but Ed's not exactly thinking super clearly right now, for one reason or another. This post is filtered to, uh, everyone else.]

So...hypothetically speaking, lets say you liked a girl, and then you found out that she also liked you back.

What do you do next?

My understanding of the topic is admittedly limited, but the main objective of the courtship ritual for your species is the passing on of your genetic material to the next generation.

You made it public, as far as i can tell.

I've always found human reluctance to address this topic a bit confusing. Procreation is required for the survival of your species, but you view it with more caution and trepidation than you do murder, if not more.

...

Step one, check for others who might like you. If you smell a potential love triangle, exercise extreme caution.

No, no, what I mean is, check for another person who might like you.

Trust me, the alternative's... Kiiinda messy.

Naturally not.

If you wish not to answer, I'll concede to your desire - I'm just trying to unravel one of the many mysetries that surround humanity.

That... Depends on the specifics of the girls involved.

In particular, you need to look out for Yandere types, but there's lots of other romantic entanglement situations you need to watch out for.

Otherwise, your romantic life becomes a taste of hell.

They seem perfectly sweet and innocent, and then they kill anyone who gets in the way of their love with whoever they fixate upon.

There's a lot of classic cases if you check through the fiction, and the scary thing is, it's more realistic than it would seem.

Well, admittedly, that's a worst-case scenario.

But there's plenty of lesser ones that can and do happen.

So check over the whole situation first.

Start buying her nice things regularly, obviously.

[identity profile] an-mermaid.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you'd better be nice to her, first off.

[identity profile] violet-boundary.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh also, take her out to nice places and carry her bags and give her your umbrella in the rain~

Th' hell you askin' me for?

You asked. Secondly, don't flirt with other girls, whether nobody likes you or you have a dozen fangirls hovering around you at any given time!
