Re: Fall in love?

[QUOTE]That’s exiting! I want to fall in love too! I’m sick of the textbooks! we should organize a club here... call it “need some love”... or something.. lol![/QUOTE]

Re: ~ * ~

[QUOTE]haha yes we shld, even if its not love, it could be a crush, that would be fun. add some highlight to the day instead of just getting excited at breakfast, lunch and supper eh?[/QUOTE]

Re: YES

[QUOTE]Sounds perfect. I'm in. BTW. there are some really romantic places around campus and I guess it will be very exciting to go there with your loved one. The weather is still ok so may be we should be faster in locating this piece of happiness in the boring study/sleep/eat routine.[/QUOTE]

Re: sure

[QUOTE][QUOTE]just say when .. u will be the leader?[/QUOTE] Hmm...I guess we should ask someone who has spent more time on-campus to be the leader. I'm first year so I only know two places and I found them accidently while walking around.

Best one i found yet was randomly walking down the pedestrian bridge near the forks on wednesday and they were teach how to dance tango and just the vibe and being over the water on sunset.

By the way, i vote for The Forks! No matter what we have along the river on campus... i still think that The Forks aream is the best, especially at nights.

[QUOTE]i see this thread is really expanding. just one day gone out of winnipeg and return to find all so much new comments. its interesting. well i am not from China, but i am chinese and i speak English, Mandarin, its dialects (some) and very bad French. Anyway, i am going jogging in the nice cool weather today to burn off the heavy rich Rez food i've been eating for the last 2 weeks. Either we can do a run cum tour of nearby spots around campus; find out new places or run to St Vital park. its Sat 1pm now and if anyone wants to join me, u can call me at 770-6526, cos i dont have that much time to find computers to check my mail today.[/QUOTE]

Re: Whoa

[QUOTE]I hate running! I have kinda short breath too. The only cardio I enjoy is swimming, lol, how about we all swim along the river :) And about going for a coffee… I think it would be best if the place for us to meet was not too crowded, just so it would be easy for us to find each other… I have no idea how you people look like!!! Oh, by the way, anybody going to a free swing dance lesson on Friday 22nd? Each of us could bring a monkey, or something like that with him, and we could easily find each other there and have something funny to do at the same time.[/QUOTE]

Re: ~*~

[QUOTE]i thought abt the swing but unsure if i am going, apparently there is tai chi class on fridays and i wanna do that. i only am short of breath if i sprint, long slow runs are ok by me. i think its best to just email in private (for most pple not comfy listing them down here) contact numbers or emails to be able to locate each other when meeting for first time because we really dont want to embarrass ourselves by going up to the wrong group.[/QUOTE]

So as far as I understand it we want to meet at some place where there won't be other people who eventually may not "want to fall in love" :)) . So yeah...ok...and we should also think about some time which is convinient for all of us. I personally am free (hmm...it's not that I am free, coz' I have a lot of reading to do, but well...I don't have lectures) during the afternoons. All my lectures and labs are in the mornings so I am ok if we arrange for some afternoon this week (and besides the sunset makes the romantic places even more beautiful so we will enjoy it more :) ) I personally eat at Pembina Hall so if you guys also have your meals there we could probably go for a dinner together after the meeting which will be a great chance to talk and make friends. Ok any suggestions about date and time are welcome.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]my classes start late morning and end by afternoons but so far i only have mondays free.

I am sometimes available on weekdays after 4, depending on my work hours. Weekends I can maybe make it to the university, as well. Wendsdays I am always at the University around 9:30. Anyway, if you guys want to set a time, just...Post it here, or IM one another, or something. I.Q.'s or Big Guys is usually a nice spot, methinks. Lot's of nice places on Campus, though.[/QUOTE]

Re: What?!?

[QUOTE]whats there to be freaked out abt? the people who joined this thread isnt here to fall in love with other people who are already on this thread. we just think it'd be nice if we had a little bit of romantic thrill in our lives aside from the seriousness and stress of academia and this just links us on vlc just like eating more vegetables or writing better term papers. we suggested meeting up cos we seem to be having fun here, so why not in real life. its no different from the other threads about making friends, so whats so creepy abt that? at least we are honest and in touch with ourselves and are not in arrogant denial about the niceness of having some romantic distraction - IF and WHEN there should be some. Or even just maybe making time to meet up to make new friends with the open mindedness that maybe we - as individuals - will have varying personalities and interests at the end of the day, not just meeting up bcos we have one thread in common. i dont see anyone forcing any feelings here. And so far we havent even actually met up, so i really dont think anyone's desperate or pathetic, if thats what some pple are implying. AND if u havent already noticed, the thread comes with a question mark, means theres a little bit of uncertainty and probability, not a mandatory must do must accomplish 'goal'. No one's forcing anything. And if something doesnt work for anyone, dont bother coming by and leaving comments that give away that u actually dont read carefully, cos we certainly dont do that to other peoples thread even if we dont list it as our thing to do. thank you and have a nice day.[/QUOTE]

Re: Why be Rude

[QUOTE]Obviously we're not understanding eachother here. Let me try again... 1. I'm not being rude. I'm intrigued by this whole VLC thing. I like it. Seems cool. What I'm trying to say is that it just sounds to me like you guys might be trying to push something that may, or may not, be there. How do you fall in love? Do you meet with someone else who's single between the hours of whatever to whatever? Or is the actual act of falling in love a little bit more complicated then that? If you're just trying to meet people and make friends then sure, cool, go for it. But isn't this the fall in love section? How do you guys know you're going to fall in love? I can't be the only one who thinks that falling in love is something that just kinda happens - I mean c'mon here, get serious. 2. Relax. You guys sound offended. I'm not trying to make enemies here. Umsalapa! Put the knife down! Breathe woman! I'm sure you guys are all very attractive, and wonderful people who'd have no problem whatsoever in finding the right person for you, so what's to get upset about? Can't we all be friends here? Geez... Hopefully this helped clear up some (ahem) misunderstandings. If I could borrow the words of snail: "Thank you and have a nice day."[/QUOTE]

The purpose of this todo (from what I've read anyways), seems to be the discussion of romantic experience and places on campus that are good to *be* with someone (not neccessarily meet someone). People who wan't to meet do not wan't to fall in love with eachother (although I'm not excluding the possibility entirely). If you think it's kind of weird discussing this online and it makes you uncomfortable, then simply don't participate in this thread. Please, lets leave it at this and not start a flame war. For those who are interested, the last on-topic post was probably a few days back.... [QUOTE]thank you and have a nice day.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

Re: Okay-dokey

[QUOTE]yep we're not meeting btwn hours of this and that to fall in love, its just a maybe it would be nice thought if we did happen to find someone while we're studying here, but its not a mandatory thing to do, nor is it going to be within this thread, nor is it something that we are forcing. if some people cant actually see this point being emphasized while being an English major, then its just too bad. I believe the rest of us are having a good discussion here being on this thread until this unpleasantness came along. I'm getting tired of defending this thread when i dont even need to if people just take time to read properly the past discussions. So anyway, i agree with Cypher to just go back to where we were few days back.[/QUOTE]

Re: Agree with Cypher

Re: Okay-dokey

[QUOTE]Well, to get things a bit back on topic, earlier people were talking about romantic places around campus. Can anybody actually list off a few? It would be interesting to find a place to take my girlfriend that neither of us have been to before. Note: Please list places that are significantly more private than the line at Tim Hortons, quieter than the "Wind-Tunnel" between Parker and Armes (that whining fan noise drives me nuts), and somewhere where asbestos doesn't rain down from every orifice in the walls and ceiling.[/QUOTE]

Re: Romantic Places?

[QUOTE]theres a little spot by the carpark opp. st pauls thats near to the river and its just beautiful and quiet. the slope is pretty steep though. the sight is breathtaking. :)[/QUOTE]

Re: Romantic place(s)

[QUOTE]The part abt being an English major is just to imply that if one is, then he/she is good at reading, and at that, better at sifting out information or what is written. My first major was English too so i have absolutely nothing against English majors nor any majors just for the sake of it. No one's insulting anyone personally. However, Magicent came to another thread where i listed another to do item and made some uncalled for negative comment not related to the thread. seems like hes trying to steer away from the numbers here and attacking me exclusively away from the other's knowledge. And as far as i am concerned, almost everyone uses nicknames here on vlc so why insult others' nicknames? Is there a webmaster where we can report such persistent harrassment to?[/QUOTE]

Re: lets not take this too far

[QUOTE][QUOTE] Is there a webmaster where we can report such persistent harrassment to?[/QUOTE] well, same here... but i would recommend to leave him/her... it:) alone [let kid have some fun]...but if you really cannot sleap at night... if you look closer, on the right of the "reply" link there is "i find this offensive" link... so... what were we talking about here...[/QUOTE]

Re: lets not take this too far

[QUOTE]Cool down, its an internet forum. From what I've read, i'd say the one being harrassed is magicant anyways... You guys went right crazy there. WOW!

Re: Wow your pretty high strung...

[QUOTE]Yeah! You da man Ron! The shots coming from all angles! I thought I was in the twilight zone for a second there. Just to set the record straight, Snail, if you seriously are offended about the comment I made on that "running room" page then I have to apologize. But in all fairness, you did start taking shots first (english major?). Right? C'mon now, let's be fair.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE][QUOTE]the drama! it's the internet. :) does love exist in pixels?[/QUOTE] I can answer that. Love does not exist in pixels itself. But pixels (computer) is a mean of communication that can make you love someone (i guess lol). Hmm. I don't know much about love and all so maybe I should stay quiet?[/QUOTE]

Re: soaps

[QUOTE]nah, that's a fair argument to make. funny how people can fall in love with people who are thousands of kilometers away, and who they've never seen. yet are afraid to talk to the hundreds of people around them in class, on the bus, and on the street.[/QUOTE]

Re: love

[QUOTE]That's because people fear rejection. It's easier remain unhurt when it's not face to face. That's also probably why so many break ups are done through a letter, email, or phone call.[/QUOTE]

Re: oh..

[QUOTE][QUOTE]what souless, gutless creatures we have become![/QUOTE] Lol! What do you mean "become"? We've always been like that! It's human nature.[/QUOTE]

Re: oh..

[QUOTE]not before the interweb! back in the wild west when we resolved our differences with a draw. first man dead, looses! or the middle ages, when we used sword fights. now we just talk smack on the internet. same goes for love. back then you'd write your lady a sonnet or kill the man that was diverting her interest. now we have online dating where a computer matches us with compatible partners.[/QUOTE]

Re: pff..

[QUOTE][QUOTE]not before the interweb! back in the wild west when we resolved our differences with a draw. first man dead, looses! or the middle ages, when we used sword fights. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I wonder how many of those idiots actually cared what the lady they are killing for is thinking about evything... I wonder how often the ones who were causes of all the duels were present during duels, or at least informed about them.Russian classics often describe duels in their writings, but they kinda don't go into very often... You know, i think i know why conflicts are now not resolved like in middle ages! That's cause of big woman's loving heart! Now, women got their rights they don't allow such things to happen:)!!! Men always have to be cared about... or they start killing each other or jumpppping off the roof or... i don't even know...[/QUOTE]

As a result totally different poeple who would never think of each other as being interesting even after being introduced to each other by a friend become frinds. How do i know? I met several people from internet during the last year. this stupid technology becomes part of our social life. i wonder how our grandchildrem will use it...[/QUOTE]

Re: love

[QUOTE][QUOTE]i wonder how our grandchildrem will use it...[/QUOTE] They will be permanently "hooked up" with implants and will never be isolated from the internet. Keyboards and mice may be "obsolete", being replaced by direct neural interfaces. Obesity will thrive (even more so than it is now), but it will be more socially acceptable.. Not sure how this could affect social interactions... I suppose it would just increase what's already happening, social networks are getting larger and less personal. People have fewer really close relationships and more passing acquaintances and colleagues, people who we'll gladly shell out our opinion to but aren't likely to tell secrets to or get really personal with.[/QUOTE]

Re: love

[QUOTE]i forgot what this thread is about? lol jk. For a while I thought this is a technology to-do. This to-do got sidetracked from its original purpose don't you guys think?[/QUOTE]

Re: love

[QUOTE]cypher, you are depressing me. i wish to postpone this reality as long as humanely possible. bring back the love.[/QUOTE]

But give us an option and which way do we go? We were still cowards then, we just didn't have any other choice. Give a knight a choice between a duel to the death and an email message (after teaching him what an email is of course) and he'd pick the safe route almost every time. It's sad but true.[/QUOTE]

Re: It's true

[QUOTE][QUOTE]I tried to look for love. A complete failure. I gave up and stopped looking, a week later i met a really neat guy on the internet. Skip 1 1/2 into the future that we call today and i'm engaded. Simple as that. Stop looking and love will find you; look, and love will come out of the wrong places.[/QUOTE] That is some real wisdom, and words to live your life by. the harder you look, the further away it all is. that said, look for love and youll end up on the internet in some compromising situations.[/QUOTE]

Re: Huh?!

[QUOTE]You know what? Love sucks, people. ...Even if between you and the one you love or the one that loves you is everything okey (no problems and no constant fights I mean). It feels very good, or very bad... there rarellly is anything inbetween. I'm dating a guy I knew for years now (would never believe if somebody tald me half year ago that we will be together), yeah, we used to be friends... Anyway! my point is: I had kinda easier life before we started dating. And it does not influence your school work in a very posssitive way... I'm telling ya![/QUOTE]

Re: soaps

[QUOTE]I am in a long distance relationship with some one I met on the internet.. Now, it wasn't a dating site or anything, It was just a community where people could get together to discuss a common interests. I used to laugh at people with 'interweb lubbs' and I never ever imagined my self being in a situation where that would happen to me... *coughs* Yeah so any way.. we started chatting, and had great chemistry, then we started talking on the phone every day. He was like my best friend. Things evolved from there. 10 months later, we are still going strong, and have seen each other twice. I am sure most of you look at this and think exactly what I thought before it all happened to me. I still don't really know my point of view on the subject, but what I do know is that there is a HUGE stigma on things like this. My guess is because most internet romantic interludes are juvenile, full of lies, and short lived. But lightning does strike. Just 2 cents from some one who is living it.[/QUOTE]

Re: lightning strikes

[QUOTE]It is very difficult to maintain a long distance relationship that has already been established, let alone trying to build one from scratch long distance! But it can be done, and according to eHarmony ads, quite well apparently (they look so happy in those commercials!) Good luck to ya![/QUOTE]

Re: lightning strikes

[QUOTE]I've always had trouble finding love(or whatever), because I have a little trouble with being 1 0n 1 with people. Like, I'm pretty good in class with people around and I can be talkative, but when I'm left on my own with someone I feel awkward, and that's even greater when it's the opposite sex. I'm not a complete fool, but it's a little frustrating sometimes. I'm not sure how new this VLC thing is, but it does seem like a cool thing for meeting new people, without some of the awkwardness of interclass complexities. Not that people should avoid personal contact though.[/QUOTE]
