The Dating Meme

Dating is, when you think about, really weird. It's a totally different thing for different people. Some are friends for years before they date; others start dating on the same day they met. Sometimes, there's a lot mushy stuff involved; other times, the couple acts just like friends. None of this is necessarily right or wrong.

Whatever it is, your character and the character you reply to are now dating. How? That's up to you. Whether it be awkward or not, the relationship will be uniquely theirs.

How to Play
-Comment with your character and preferences.
-Reply to others.
-Have fun.

Prompts

1. Best Friends to More: Oh, wow, you've been this person's friend forever! But then you realize you have feelings for them, and they for you. Will things change when you change your status?

2. The Sudden Decision: Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here I am, date me maybe?

3. Confession: You've had feelings for this person for, like, ages, and you want to ask them to date you. Or maybe the confession just slips out...
4. Hate Date: You really don't like this person; actually, you hate them. But you don't want them to be with anyone else!
5. I Guess We're Dating: Huh. We are dating, aren't we? Everyone else knew before us...
6. Slow Decision: For the more mature and seasoned, they might fall into something sweet without needing to rush.
7. Been Burned Before: One of you has had a bad relationship, and now both of you have to bear that brunt if you want to date now.
8. Innocence: This is your first real relationship, so you have to figure it out together. That's harder than it looks.
9. Courting: You're from an old-fashioned world or are old-fashioned yourself, so it's courting, not dating. Still, maybe you can sneak away from the chaperon.
10. First Date: Your first true date. What's it like? What would happen if...I don't know...it went bad?
11. First Kiss: Of course.
12. First Time: Together or in general.
13. The Perfect Couple: The couple that never argues and is more like best friends than a couple.
14. The Not-So-Perfect Couple: Ugh, these guys always argue and seem to despise each other. Why are they even together?
15. Comfortable: You can do anything around or in front of your honey.
16. Not Cut Out for Dating: One of you is anti-social, a jerk, a stoic badass, whatever. You're not dating material...yet here you are.
17. Getting on Each Others' Nerves: Spending too much time together can get even the most patient people annoyed with the person they're dating.
18. Know What You Like: It's almost like they can read your mind, whether it be in the kitchen, at the store, or in the bedroom.
19. Trouble in Paradise: Maybe it's external factors, or perhaps internal, but whatever the case may be, things aren't looking so sunny.

20. Test the Strength: Someone else has an obvious crush on the person you're dating. What do you do?
21. Pregnancy Scare: Hey, it happens. So, how do you feel when the period turns up missing?
22. Getting Serious: Things are getting way deep with this person. They may be the one...or maybe they think they are, while you're not too sure.
23. Old Hat: This relationship is dull. Can you get back the spark?
24. End It: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to see other people.
25. Taking It to the Next Level: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to marry them.
26. FREE SPACE

[ in general, good with anything. Prefer 1, 5, 6, 10, 11, mmmaybe 22? haruhi's kinda bad about the whole romance thing, she's not too sure about love being more than a delusion-- but, she's also not one to say no to trying new stuff out.

can be played either high school aged or college aged. ask before heavy hanky-panky. ]

[ au/assumed CR it up. prefer 1, 3, 8, 10, 11 but can go with the flow. miyuki here's got a tendency to over think things and worry too much about how he's perceived, and he's kinda uncoordinated for the most part. he's still kind to a fault and the world's smartest dumb boy.

ask before smutty things, can age up a bit if needed ]

[Canon-verse, modern AUs or cross-overs welcome!]

It wasn't so much that Altair wanted to go, so much as feeling as though he had to. After all, these people had given him a home when he had none. He had come to them as a wandering Sith, and they had welcomed him, given him a place where he could belong in this strange new time. So saying no had not been an option.

Getting told to definitely bring a date though, that had been more of an issue. For the longest time after receiving his invitation, Altair had wondered who exactly he was supposed to ask. Time had passed, yet he was still more or less an outsider among Thrawn's people- though by now he had at least made a few friends.

Still, in the end the Sith had decided to simply ask Thrawn. He hadn't called it that, of course- not a date. Not his date.

He'd merely told the Grand Admiral that the village where they had first decided to join forces, where he'd been given an offer he couldn't refuse, had gotten done rebuilding and recovering from the attack they had suffered, and that they'd probably appreciate if both of them showed up in support of that. They'd met with the village's leaders early on, and by the evening, the celebrations were starting. There was music and food and laughter and drink being shared with ease.

Altair had excused himself to change out of his armor, navigating through the crowd to find the other Chiss once that was done- it wasn't a date, but it would be rude to just ditch him, after all. He stepped up next to him nearly soundlessly, to watch the villagers in their celebration of survival and victory in rebuilding much of what had been lost. It was almost nostalgic, really.

"You're here, but you're not really joining in, are you?" He commented, though he wasn't actually surprised by that, "Not the partying type?"
