The setting is in a high school and my character got asked out to homecoming. My only choices are to accept or "I was planning to ask someone else." If I accept now, I can just get it over with. If I reject, is this thing going to make me choose later? At least no one is super judgy about who's attracted to who. My character is a guy who got asked out by a guy. But some of the guys give nne toxic masculine vibes. My character is a guy who got asked out by a guy. Someone help me choose plz. Maybe save, if it makes you choose reset to that guy?

If either is yes, take the date, otherwise keep exploring! Well, I try to be the friendliest character there can be. A guy was asking if I was with the girl I was hanging out with and if he could ask her out. I had the choice of saying that they would be perfect together, she's interested in some football guy, and one other one I forgot. I told the truth that she was into the football guy. But then later the school's mascot statue got defaced and it was a girl at the school who was threatened by the rival school. The rival said that she had to do it or her best friend gets it. When I confronted the girl she said not to tell anyone so I kept the secret so that the students at the school wouldn't look down at her for it. So I guess I try to be the best person I can be, being friends with all of them, trying to friendzone them all and not date anyone. Apparently that's not an option.

The save points are by each chapter, which then I don't know which chapter actually has the homecoming event so resetting could be hard. Unless I decided to restart the whole story, that would be a whole another thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a minor triad Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I just got the "How do you know relationships aren't your thing if you've never been in one?" for the first time. And honestly, I am surprised by how peeved I am about the whole experience. I usually don't let things like that bother me, but the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a reoccurring conversation about "how do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?" The comeback is "you've never sat on a cactus before, how do you know you don't like it?" I saved screenshots of it from when I shared it with a friend but I censored the names here: It shouldn't be hard to figure out who is who if you really wanted to find out who said what. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a minor triad Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 @nerdperson777, you know, I think I vaguely remember reading this, but I totally forgot about it!

I’m a somewhat mature adult so I feel like I have a decent grasp on what I’ll like and dislike. Firstly, I prefer solitude with occasional contact with friends for fun. Attaching someone to my life would honestly be a hassle. Secondly, I’d be an awful partner anyway. I’m fairly boring, not very emotive, and harbor rather cynical views about a lot of things. Lastly, I have no drive to seek out romantic/sexual companionship. The idea bores me honestly. I’d rather not waste my time and another person’s time trying out something that I’m not actively interested in to begin with. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nerdperson777 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I chose to accept that guy's proposal in the visual novel thing. My character gave him a small peck and I'm like, hey I didn't consent to this! Now we're sharing a spagetti dish? I'm sure each of us could eat our own dish. Most guys have big enough appetites. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NerdIsStrongWithThisOne Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Having to explain asexuality to someone I was dating and their response was "You can't be asexual, that's a waste of a pretty face!" Way to objectify me, deny my autonomy, and reject my sexuality, all in one. Needless to say, I don't talk to them anymore 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So strange they would consider it a compliment. Appearance isn’t all that matters about someone, couldn’t they accept the fact and get to know a person rather than try to make it sound like they are a disappointment just because of being Ace. It comes off as very rude to me. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NerdIsStrongWithThisOne Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 @Skycaptain That's definitely a possibility, I hadn't really considered that.

It says nothing about how you and the other person will get along. I get there are people who rate physical appearance very high, but how you both get along will decide how compatible you two are. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know that opinion isn’t shared by Sexuals but I don’t see the point in it with random people, seems repulsive. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
