Well, the girl I've mentioned before said something to me. She said she's upset because I'm "totalllly [her] type" so other guys will feel inadequate when she gets over me in the future because I've "set the bar so high".

So, uh, ordinarily this would be really sweet — but this is the same girl who rejected me, when I discussed my feelings with her. 

Apparently I'm good enough to complain to about how I'm too much her type and set the bar high to the point where it is hard to move on, but not good enough to accept the affection of.

I'm half honored and half miffed, but all confused. 

......she needs to sort out how she feels because that's really not fair to you. She sounds like she admires you, but none of the rest of that makes any sense.

Is that the first 17thShard couple? Nice.

It may not be, actually, unless you've been together since before mid-December. Neither @OrlokTsubodai nor I generally post outside of Sanderson Elimination, which is why it wouldn't have been noticed before, but we've been together since then. We haven't met in person yet (me being in California, and he in England), which likely makes our situation different than this one, but he's coming to California this summer, happily.

We both wanted to wish you the best of luck in your relationship!

We've been talking regularly since July, with the frequency increasing dramatically from September onwards, and have been in a relationship since mid-December. Waiting until summer to see El face to face has been difficult - you're very lucky to have met in person!

I hope you guys get to meet each other soon!

TBH this makes me so happy. Nerd love!

Also I feel like we should tag @Chaos and ....Rubix won't tag? and say thanks for the site!

[Elbereth she/her]

Cheers to that. @Rubix? Works for me.

weird. Now its working for me too. No idea what happened there.

[Elbereth she/her]

I think I've heard that some people/devices/whatever can't tag more than one person in a post? 

@firstRainbowRose (given that, you know, she founded the site) @Delightful

I apparently am not one of those people.

That's just crazy. She's either lying or is super confused. Like those stereotypical girls that tell the guy "I wish I had a boyfriend like you", but reject the guy because they forget to mention that they only meant the character or something like that. I bet $10 that if you start ignoring her, she'll confess feelings for you

Make sure to take photos together. Lots and lots of them. And then post them in Discord.

Awwww the FEELS. I love a good, romantic how-we-met story.

My boyfriend and I met on Tinder. You could say our story is pretty romantic... lol

So there's kind of a guy. 

And I say kind of quite loosely as he lives about an hour and a half away from me.

We met about a week and a half ago at a choir function and have been texting back and forth ever since.

He loves music, and musical theatre, he's all kind and funny.

I'm gonna ask to hang out when he gets on break in two weeks. I'll keep y'all posted.

That sounds like if you're not certain if this person fully qualifies as a guy  anyway, good luck  1,5h away is not an unbearable distance!

Nearly a year ago, @Left gave me a bit of advice on this thread—and it worked. Just wanted to say thanks!

So, I just did something I've been hemming and hawing about for the last two weeks - I asked a girl out, sorta - asked a girl if she wanted to meet up. We met years ago, and I had a crush on her then but nothing came of it. We chatted a bit around her birthday this year, and met at an event a couple of weeks ago. She gave me a hug!!! but we both had to go and didn't have time to catch up properly. So I just asked her if she wants to meet up. 
Why is my heart beating this fast storm it. 

I dunno, even if nothing comes of it - at least I was brave. It's good to be brave. Right? Right??

Because you have left your comfort zone, doesn't it feel great? I hope she says yes!
