    "Well hi there cute girl in my class"

    It does work like that, actually. It's a little off-putting to have a complete stranger approach you and ask for a date. You don't know them. You have no reason to go on a date with them. I'm not saying to be their friend for 2+ years and THEN ask for a date (and then probably get upset that...

    Any published authors here?

    It's okay, I feel the exact same way about self publishing. I think majority of the books/writing that is self-published isn't very good, and there's (sadly) a reason the writer had to find a way to publish it themselves. I don't read anything that I know is self-published myself.

    Any published authors here?

    So, I just finished my first Young Adult novel, and I've written a query letter and heavily revised it, so I'll be sending it out to some literary agents within about a week. It just makes me curious, then. Are there are any published authors on here among the users? What have you written and...

    Is Sex a Big Deal?

    First of all, this is all my opinion. So, whatever I say, take it as you will, but this is how I see it all. Sex isn't a big deal in the big picture, no. As a girl who was a virgin until 21 (almost 23 now), sex was never a big deal, and I never put much pressure on it for myself. I could...

    "Well hi there cute girl in my class"

    Literally, the best thing you can do is introduce yourself and start talking to her. Don't jump the gun and immediately ask if she wants to go on a date. Just talk to her, get to know her. It might be easier to break the ice with something about the class, and or maybe if there's any group work...

    Your favourite game

    Oooh, I have a handful, and they are Drakengard (series), Shadow Hearts (series), Okami, Rule of Rose, Shadow of the Colossus, and Resonance of Fate. If I had to pick only one, it's a toss-up between Drakengard II, Shadow of the Colossus, and Resonance of Fate. I can't actually pick one of...

    What do you love about the Escapist?

    I haven't been active here in a very long time, but back when I was, I loved the sense of community. I don't know if it's like that anymore, but everyone seemed to know each other, and it was fun seeing familiar faces all over different topics. I just liked all the comfortable discussions and...

    Anybody wanna talk dreams?

    I absolutely love dreams and talking about them! Th other night, I had a dream that there was a play being performed by my entire family at my grandmother's house. I don't even know what role I played, but no one ever got to the play because there was a rattlesnake that was there, and everyone...

    The Future of YouTubers

    I honestly don't know. Sooner or later, I'm sure they'll have to quit. They can't go on forever, and sooner or later, their targeted audience will outgrow them. I know that happened with Tobuscus; I just got older and found him less and less funny, and I would think that sooner or later...

    Super Rare (And Horrifying) "Living Fossil" Shark Caught In Australia

    Well, that is by far the most terrifying thing I've seen lately. The teeth alone are horrifying. They look really bloody, like its teeth are too sharp for its own gums? I can't tell. No thanks, though. I think I was happier before I knew this thing existed.

    Poll: How much Harry didya watch or read until you were done?

    I watched every single movie and read every single book, but I did quit the last book about halfway through. Life just got in the way, and I was young, so I gave up easily. I just never went back, even though I've been told I should. I absolutely love the whole series, though. I've been meaning...

    How did you choose your username?

    Uhh, mine's kind of weird, I feel, and maybe a little cheesy, but I like it. So, I'm a writer, and one of my characters that I have written about is named Chance. One of my other characters calls him "Chancie" as a nickname, so, that's why I use the name. I feel a little self-absorbed for it...

    Why are so many of you guys unemployed?

    Yep, my thoughts exactly. I'm not unemployed, but the job I do have, I've been in for a while just for the fact that it's my only experience. Nowhere else wants to take me, sadly. :( The lack of experience just repeats itself, and you're totally stuck once you're there, until or unless you get...

    Great actors who always play the same character

    While I don't think he's a great actor, Michael Cera tends to play the same character in everything. He's always the awkward teenager who someone gets the hot girl. Sure, he played the "baddie" in Magic Magic, but still, he was the awkward guy there too.

    Poll: You will never be as happy in life as you are when in a relationship

    I think it all depends on the relationship. I was perfectly happy with the way I felt and lived my life when I was single, but I'm currently in a relationship, and I'm extremely happy there too. I think it all depends on the kind of person you're with. Obviously, if you're dating someone who...
