Love: Is it possible?

[Living Fossil]

Hello there fellow loners and not so alone people of TBT. So a question to you uhhh, more... Lonely Souls here: Do you believe you will find your future partner, and if so, will he or she be an Animal Crossing player? Do you think your future partner is here in this forum?

...Or nah? (sad noises)

EDIT: I like it on the record that I'm single. ...single!

Last note: Please be mindful of the younger members here and follow the rules here on TBT.

I’m asexual (aromatic, if you care about which end of the spectrum), so the thought of dying alone doesn’t bother me.

I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of ever falling in love, because life is unpredictable. However, the likelihood of it happening to me at my current age and experience....is not likely.

I love my husband. I'm demisexual so I don't really feel attracted to someone without a deep connection first.
I feel like what I feel for him and what he feels for me is "love" if not more.
He doesn't play animal crossing lol. However, that's okay. He's a gamer and we have other games we both enjoy which is nice.

Sorry if I wasn't supposed to answer - not sure if you were only looking for currently single people since it began with believing if finding love was possible and if you'd be with someone that plays AC. <3

If I ever do find a partner (boy, girl, enby, or otherwise), I would hope to share at least a few hobbies with them. It'd make discussions and hangouts more interesting. I wouldn't mind meeting them online, but I'd have to get to know them first. The thought of just jumping into something without anything to fall back on is scary. That's the main reason why I've never bothered with dating apps or websites.

 

[moo_nieu]

My s/o doesn't play ac ;-;
sometimes i can convince him to fish with me or look at my town though haha

I do wish he liked the game too, but i wouldn't want to share an island

I'm Asexual and Demisexual, but by some miracle I found my true love off Discord.
It's amazing because he's demisexual too and completely respects me being asexual.
He also plays animal crossing, but not as much as I do.
It took me a lot of relationships to finally find him.
So I think love is possible and that people can find the right person for themselves c:​

Met my bf raiding in guild wars 2 (started out just in the raid static, I randomly DMed him one day and we became friends, a few months later we became a couple), neither of us have played the game seriously for over a year, though. He doesn't enjoy Animal Crossing, and I occasionally pretend to play roguelikes (but 9 times out of 10 give up quite quickly lol), but both of us generally enjoy RPGs so we try to do those co-op if we find a decent one.

I think it was mostly luck that happened in my case, which I've come to think that coincidences are the only way to find certain things, love being one of them.

So I wouldn't expect it from one place or another in particular, but to do it you do have to be forthcoming and make an effort to start a conversation, at least. Maybe you'll become friends, and then there's an even smaller chance you can find romantic love in that type of relationship.

You can't just wait for it to happen, but you can't count on it happening, even if you follow the checklist to a T.

idk if that made any sense lol im sorry

l'm single and it will always be that way. Anyways l would have perfer a Person fan as my partner if l was planning on having a family.

 

[Mairen]

My husband is currently sitting next to me on the couch, helping our 2 year old daughter play animal crossing. We originally met on an online game we played together.

So yes, these things can absolutely happen.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

some days, i believe i'll find whoever i'm meant to be with. other days, i have no hope and get broody over the fact that i've been single for all 21 years of being alive. other other days like today, i'm perfectly content with being single. i guess it just depends on my mood? my best friends all have a s/o so it genuinely sucks having to be around that all the time. it makes me so jealous - even though i shouldn't be lmao. i keep entertaining the idea that eventually someone will come, but most of the time i honestly just believe i'm meant to be alone since i've not managed to find a single person who loves me in a romantic way for as long as i have lived.

people can find love. they are extremely lucky and i'm envious of them, but for some people i don't think it will ever come.

 

[daringred_]

i'm actually the one who introduced my girlfriend to animal crossing, and on our first date no less. i traveled all the way up to her city and somewhere between walking around and watching a movie (that i fell asleep in the middle of), i whipped out my 3DS and let her wander around my NL town because she wanted to play the game. a few months later, she bought her own 3DS and a copy of the game. now she has a switch lite and NH too. she's been obsessed with celeste (and the game, at a close second) ever since

 

[SmoochsPLH]

i'm ace so finding the right person doesn't really matter to me (tho that's definitely not the same for all ace folks). i'd be much happier with a house full of animals honestly. ;w; the most that happens for me is i'll find people cute from time to time (panromantic/asexual).

as for how i feel about love...it's a great thing, but the romantic kind is just not for some people. i don't think whether people find love in life or if they're with someone or not should really be that big of a deal and that love happens randomly. but that's just me and just because i say that doesn't mean that's 100% correct. i feel like...like that's there's so many different definitions of romantic love and how it works (soulmates, random, none, etc.) for different people that as long as whatever definition you chose fits what you're looking for in life you'll find it. :3 sorry if that doesn't make much sense i'm not very good at wording things...all in all if you're looking for love i say don't let it be your main worry in life. focus on just living life and being happy and love will find it's way to you. <3

 

[Dwayne Johnson]

I wouldnt really care if they played ac or not, i usually stop playing after a few months though lol. I don't really think long distance or online works at all and i could never see me meeting someone on here either

 

[DinosaurDumpster]

Ahahaha--no.
I'm way too ace for love. But to be honest my loneliness gets to me sometimes, and if there is someone out there, than that's alright I guess.

If they do play animal crossing- than great! If not, than I respect their gaming choices. I don't think they would be on this forum though since I don't exactly... talk to anyone much here.

But if I just so happen to be lonely for my whole life, then i'm content with food and memes.

 

[LadyDestani]

I do believe love exists and that it exists in a lot of different forms. What one person defines as love might not be the same for another person. I also believe that it can be found anytime and anywhere, so it's entirely possible for someone to find love on this forum. It's just not something I think would happen often.

As for me, I am married and met my husband at the arcade playing Tekken Tag. It took years for it to evolve into love, though. We started out as two shy, quiet people in the same friend group who barely spoke to each other because neither of us initiated conversations.

He's not really too into Animal Crossing, but I did buy him a copy of New Leaf over a year ago and he's still playing it. I thought he'd have given it up a long time ago. He mostly just checks in for dailies and never really wanted to hang out, do tours together or other things in game. At least he understands what I mean when I talk to him about Animal Crossing now, though.

To all those looking for love, it can be a wonderful thing, but don't place so much importance on finding it that you don't enjoy the things and relationships you do have in the meantime. It will happen when it happens. Just a little advice from someone who was afraid of being alone. Take it as you will.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I'm an older gal, divorced (no kids), and technically, it's against my beliefs to re-marry or be in any sort of romantic relationship after a divorce, so that'd be a big no.

As for love itself, I know it exists, though it has many forms and there are many types of love: Eros, Storge, Philia, and Agape etc.

 

[sleepydreepy]

im sure I'll find love one day, but not sure if I want to marry a gamer nerd who plays AC (jk)

 

[Psydye]

I've never been interested in anyone my whole life, don't see that changing. I'm happy being a hermit enjoying it!

 

[LuchaSloth]

Man...I'm 32, live in a small town, and haven't found a healthy relationship yet. Few swing and misses. But there are more important things. So...whether someone plays Animal Crossing or not is kinda on the bottom of the list for me. I'm just looking for a good person with common values who will put up with me. Lol. Especially with the current layout of political and world affairs...it's hard just to find decent people anymore...let alone Animal Crossing fanatics. We live in a time where you can strike up a conversation and think it's going well, only to find out that they think the world is flat 20 seconds later. Hahaha.

 

[hakutaku]

I'm pretty sure I'm either ace or another type of LGBT, so I have no clue tbh. I'm planning on exploring my sexuality/romance options more when I go to university next year.

But I've never actually felt a need or want to be in a relationship. I've not had much experience but the most recent 'relationship' I had was really short-lived because I immediately felt claustrophobic and overwhelmed by it. I'm very happy being on my own right now, but I do think I eventually will want a family and partner, they'd just have to be someone who is equally as introverted and independent as I am,,so yeah, them playing Animal Crossing too would be a desirable thing!
