I play otome games all the time! There's ham and cheese galore for sure, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of the strategy behind choosing the right options to win a person's heart. I think it's really fun to go in a game with a ridiculous premise (just google "Shall We Date" games and you'll see-they're incredible lol), pick a guy from a group, and then acquire them. It's kinda like beating a dungeon in an adventure game, except it's a person. And it's fun to see how different dialogue/action options affect the different partner choices. Like for example the object of the "Jerk Type" storyline is to break down his emotional walls (my favorite because it's the most challenging imo), while the "Prince Type" usually responds well to the more stereotypically "feminine" (aka passive) dialogue options. And then of course there's the added nuance of choice in games where you can get many different endings. I played one once that had a bad ending (rejection), a wedding ending (aka the "sweet" ending), the steamy ending (which was basically the wedding ending but with sex), and the mediocre ending (the casual relationship ending).

 

I can't speak for people who enjoy the opposite version of this genre of games, but reverse harem games and anime can be a lot of fun. Obviously I have no idea how romo folks feel when they play otome games but like I said the strategy and satisfaction of winning is fun.  After a while you kinda understand the patterns of the types of characters, unlike in real life when people seeking romance are as mysterious as the darn sphinx.

Yeah, this. I've played games like that before, I think they're pretty fun 

Today my coworker was talking about this wedding he attended this week, apparently it was sooo special and romantic, it was really impressive. And then he talked about how beautiful marriage is, how wonderful it is when two people are so in love they decide to spend the rest of their lives together. I had to do my best not to just roll my eyes. 

I ship Destiel (Supernatural), but more in a queerplatonic way, I guess. I also headcanon Dean as aro (or at least greyro) and Castiel as ace. 

• I'm a shipper and I love fanfic. Fluff, smut, angst, everything. (I guess this makes me a bad ace as well.)
• I actually do like the idea of romance.
• I don't really have any intense friendships. 

I dream in first person and my dreams are pretty vivid. I don't remember ever having a dream in third person or a dream in which I wasn't even there. Interesting.

• Maybe you have commitment issues? 
• Perhaps your standards are too high, just give people a chance!

I'm a Ravenclaw (Although I've done the Pottermore sorting quiz more than once and I also got Hufflepuff once or twice.)

One Shot- B.A.P

Ooh I love B.A.P! 

I'm listening to Pattern by The Last Shadow Puppets. Gonna see them live in two days, excited  

I'm also worried about ending up completely alone. I'm also not very good at making or keeping friends, so that doesn't really help. At least there's the internet... 

I also wanted to say Dean. I know a lot of people want to see him in love with Castiel, and although I guess I wouldn't actually mind that, I'd prefer seeing them in some kind of queerplatonic relationship. 

Nope, never. It used to really upset me, I felt very left out and wondered what was wrong with me. It still kind of sucks sometimes, especially when other people ask me about my love life. 

I've tried pretty much every label there is, haha. Obviously I started with straight (that didn't last very long though), then bi (because girls are pretty too!), pan, gay... (because sex with guys actually didn't seem very appealing. If I had to choose, then I'd pick girls.) Only learned like two or three years ago that asexual and aromantic are options as well. And also that aesthetic, sexual, and romantic attraction are completely different things.
