I'm in Jackson, and my girlfriend is in Cincinnati. We've been together for a year and a couple of months, and we're both like video games geeky stuff very much. I have to go to Mississippi for college, so every semester, we become a long distance couple.
We've been alright for the most part, and we've been very loyal to one another. The thing is she has a job as manager at a McDonalds, and I only get like 3 hours in the weekdays to talk to her. Any time else, it's putting up with my gay roommate, hanging around people that could honestly give two shits about me and the things I enjoy, like this franchise, and I get so lonely here having no one to really discuss or "fanboy", if you want, about things like this.
As much as I hate asking for help, or going someplace in the Internet where even more could probably give less than a shit about me, I would like some advice as to what I should do. She and I are running out of things to talk about, since I'm still sensitive about talking about this franchise and other stuff I like. Also, my sanity being around all the people here is depleting.

I'm in a long distance relationship with the other SIA member Ayanami, and she and I have been together for over a year. We've had our fair share of struggles as well, its hard. We're in Florida and Texas after all. I was a bit nervous about her finding out my love of stuff like Senran Kagura too. But I decided "Well, if she loves me, she can either overlook this or maybe even give it a shot. We'll just have to see." Same thing with certain.. risque anime figures. It bugged her a bit at first, but she got over it. She eventually tried SK and loved it, not cause boobs, but story, dressing room, gameplay, etc. Its really a matter of trusting your other to handle it in a mature way, or respect your tastes. Try to ask her to give it a shot. Worst comes to worst, she dislikes it and nothing more really.
As for running out of things to talk about. Sometimes it just happens. But when you love the person, you stick around anyway. Things in common isnt 100% of the relationship, but sometimes just being around and calling each other nerds, or even just enjoying time together even when it has some silence. If you guys are running out of stuff to talk about, try other things. Watch a movie over Skype, play games, try new things. Spice up your life. Go see each other, try all sorts of bizarre things you woulnd't normally think about!

Get SK2 or EV she will love the dressing room. Congratulations on your relationship. |

Thanks a lot guys... It means a lot. By the way, I caught her in the morning (lucky!) and asked about it before she had to go to work, and turns out she actually loves Senran Kagura, and I didn't even know.  She had a favorite character and everything. She has no problem with talking about this, which is a huge plus. I'll try out some of your advice. I really appreciate the help. :3 |

Happy to hear that things worked out for you. Sorry that I wasn't able to offer any help. I'm not really good with these kinds of things.

Seeeee? You just gotta try things. Loving someone is not just about all the things you enjoy about them, but accepting their imperfections too. Even their flaws, and perhaps warming up to them. Consider bringing her around SIA, that'd end up being a new avenue of discussion for you guys.

It's been forever since I've logged onto SIA and actually posted anything something. Looking at this thread is just... saddening now. Unfortunately, she and I agreed to break up for good four days ago, and its been rough since then. Whenever I play things, and see something that she had liked, I get irritated and enter a quiet sad mood. I did make dumbass mistakes that could've easily been prevented if I had just stopped and thought about it more, so it's safe to say it's my fault this happened. So, yeah; back to square one again, I guess. I have no idea whether or not if I'll ever have anyone, or even a friend like her, that's just someone that I can geek out to without them seeming too uninterested or trying to make fun of me.
Sorry for being away for so long, either way. I had left because of the debates and shit going on in other threads, but I know that those are healthy (I think), and that criticism is perfectly normal. I'm just worried now that I'm alone again. Again...
It's a shame, though. I really did think that this could've worked out. But life's a bitch, and this is just another hazard that I have to survvive through. Sorry, everyone.

You don't have anything to apologize to us for. Sorry that went down like that. |

Awww man that's really unfortunate especially when you two have been together for a year. I was even rooting for you two as someone who's still in that long distance relationship with Poog. And yeah I can relate to the whole playing stuff that person liked and getting irritated and sad about it. I used to go through that myself back then and it hurted.
I'm sorry that has happened to you two and I hope for the best between you two...

Sorry to hear it. All I can say is that if you feel its worth it, bust your ass in an attempt to fix it. If you need a friend or advice or anything, feel free to message me or add me on skype.
Also, I know how you fewl about the reminders. I bought Red Dead Redemption when I got dumped to distract myself years back. Second revolver had her last name. Made for a very uncomfy playthrough, haha.

I got over my break up by playing SK Burst. It happen to come out a week after I found out my gf was cheating on me. After that I got a gym membership and started to workout, I haven't cared about her or look back since.^^
