[ LOCKED FROM HARUHI SUZUMIYA ]

I wonder what it is that draws two people together. Maybe it's common interests. Of course, similar goals and values would be needed as well.

I just don't understand.

Maybe it's because I'm naïve and not all that  experienced in love, but how do you know when you've fallen in love with someone? When people like each

They do say opposites attract. The feelings of love aren't the same for any two people.

It's something you have to work out for yourself, I should imagine.

"Opposites attract" is such an old saying, but I suppose it's lasted so long because it's true. I mean, she and I are the same in some regards, but in others we're different.

I find myself liking her enough to consider a relationship or something, but at the same time I feel as though a relationship with her wouldn't do much besides cause me grief.

I don't know. I feel like all she does is give me a headache, but I can also admit I'd be pretty lonely without her.

Is it normal to feel such radically different opinions about one person?

[locked] where 'much' is 'any'

[angelic_lawyer]

I don't have much experience with relationships. I can't comment on that aspect.

As for what's normal, I wouldn't know. Normality is [...] defined by the society one is in and when it comes to feelings, I'm not sure that one can say that certain feelings are normal or abnormal.

Feelings - emotions - are whimsical. They rarely make sense. You do, however, feel them for a reason. It's just a case of realising what they mean for you. Someone else feeling similar emotions towards a person could be experiencing them for different reasons, for example. Emotions are personal; they're related to personal experiences.

I don't think I'm the right person to talk to with regards to relationships and the feelings associated with them.

[locked] I think the same applies to Kyon~

[lunchpenalty]

I really do wonder what they mean to me. They weren't the sort of feelings I could ever express to her in our own world. Here, where the circumstances are different, I could tell her and ... deal with what would probably be normal consequences.

[mercifulsmile]

You're right. Love should be equal. But sometimes, when you love someone enough, you let them take the lead. I'm not experienced with the subject either, but...that's what I think.

[VOICE|LOCKED]

[lunchpenalty]

Letting the person you love take the lead, eh? That definitely sounds like what's happening.

But... I'd kind of like the opportunity to make the decision myself. I mean, I don't really mind being a little submissive, but I'd also like to be able to act that way on my own. She kind of... forces me into submission, you know?

[VOICE|LOCKED]

[mercifulsmile]

Then you tell her! Even if you don't mind what she does to you, tell her that it's still your decision to make, and that no one else can make them but you.

If it's alright of me to ask, who are you referring to?

[VOICE|LOCKED]

[lunchpenalty]

When we were back on Earth in our own time, I really didn't have the option of telling her. There were certain... circumstances... that prevented me from making her angry or upset. I guess that feeling is still lingering.

I'm sort of referring to Haruhi Suzumiya. I know she's a little weird and a lot of people are on bad terms with her... But when she's happy, she's really just a cute ordinary girl.

[grandcrossed]

You can like someone quite a bit and still be frustrated with them from time to time. I'd say that how you resolve it matters more than whether it happens.

[locked]

[lunchpenalty]

I suppose you're right.

My brain is still thinking that the consequences of doing something here are the same as doing something back in my own world.

I guess I'm just too afraid to suck it up and deal with things properly here because of what would probably happen back home.

[locked]

[grandcrossed]

Your situation back home is complicated, I take it?

[locked]

[lunchpenalty]

Very.

Long story short, getting her angry would result in the recreation of the world so that it was suited to her liking.

So, if she was angry at me or didn't want me around, I wouldn't be in the world.

[toiletbowl_maou]

I... don't get it either. It's even more confusing since with me... I was sort of thrust into the whole thing over some strange tradition I wasn't aware of... Long story short, I still don't understand what I should be feeling or if it's even love.

Denial isn't the best option, but it makes you feel better for a while so you can sort your mind out. Unfortunately I still have yet to do so...

[locked]

[lunchpenalty]

I think I just need to get out of the "stuck back home" mentality.

What did you do to get yourself into that kind of situation? I hope it wasn't something silly that you ended up regretting.

[locked]

[toiletbowl_maou]

"Stuck back home" mentality?

It's... a very long story. Getting flushed down a toilet, finding out I'm king of a foreign country, getting angry at someone for insulting my mother, slapping him--needless to say, I somehow found myself engaged. I can't say I regret it... I just still don't know I feel about him.

[locked]

[lunchpenalty]

A lot of bad things happened when I made Haruhi angry back home.

I've heard of those stories before. Things like slapping someone's cheek or picking up silverware.... They're pretty old fantasy stories I used to read as a kid.

And did you say him

W-What a strange thing to..wonder about...

[lunchpenalty]

Yeah. Believe me, I know. I don't even know why I'm wondering about it myself.

W-With love..I..can't really help you. But I suppose I can tell you how it is to be "in like" with someone...
