A New Year, A New You

[m_hajime]

It's the end of the Earth year once again and time to make your New Year resolutions!

More often I'm wondering if it's true that opposites attract, or if I'm mistaking unfamiliarity for something else.

[m_hajime]

Attraction works differently for different people. Novelty can certainly play a factor. Only time will tell! Why not take a step forward?

[(Anonymous)]

If I take the initiative and realize it was novelty later on, they might be hurt...

[m_hajime]

You might regret not taking that first step.

It isn't as if you can't end things cordially. What does the other party think?

[worldofice]

If he knew what the other party thought, presumably he would not be in this predicament. You should inform him he risks losing the friendship in pursuit of mere physical pleasure.

[m_hajime]

My dear Atobe-san, not all relationships are physical!

[worldofice]

Since he is dissatisfied with the current affairs and requires something from the other person, presumably he desires coitus.

[(Anonymous)]

It's nothing like that!

[worldofice]

Ahn? Then what do you require from them?

[(Anonymous)]

The same things everyone wants in a relationship...

[worldofice]

Based on what I have observed onboard this ship, my comment above stands.

If it is not carnal desire you wish to satisfy, then why do you hide behind anonymity?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know what they think, I think that's the biggest contributor to my worry about it.

[worldofice]

It is quite clear you do not understand this individual well enough to form any proper attachment. Start with something simpler. I recommend a poodle.

[(Anonymous)]

You're probably right...

[spacekarupin]

Well that explains your attachment to Karupin.

So bitter. Have some ice cream.

[worldofice]

Your solution is a nutritionless snack that will cause tooth decay? That is the answer of overworked and unqualified parents, not a ship counsellor.

[m_hajime]

You're just being contrary for the sake of it.

Go have some ice cream, the kind that's hand-churned from milk from grass-fed cows in Far Eden. I recommend the champagne flavour. You'll feel better.

[m_hajime]

I don't see the harm in getting to know them better. No one would get anywhere with relationships if they were all so careful!

[(Anonymous)]

Hm, I'll try!

[m_hajime]

You do that. Don't listen to Atobe, he hasn't had a real date in ages.

Cross-species never ends well. You should check that you match in key areas.

[(Anonymous)]

It's not cross-species!

[(Anonymous)]

Incest is also very wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm beginning to suspect I know who this is...
