Hello, tower.
Due to the recent blind date sign ups, there's been some confusion as to what a 'date' really is.

[We are looking at you, Keyderps- also a few others friendly anon knows...]

It's described as: "Two people getting together for an activity when the possibility of romance between them has been broached but not ruled out. Since the exploration of romance is the purpose of a date, merely asking someone out on a date is sufficient to broach the subject. Dates may or not continue once a couple have entered into a romantic relationship. The word "date" may be used to identify a get together between two people not romantically involved, but this usage is meant to convey irony, since such a meeting is not a date in the true sense of the word."

tl;dr: Dressing up and going out with a boy or girl, depending on preferences. Usually romantic, but can be as simple as going out for coffee or ice cream with someone you consider as more than a friend or best friend.



...Does anyone need a definition for "romance" next?

OP

Due to opinions, have a link for a definition of romance.

I am not involved in these "dates", however it was explained to me before. I am under the impression that there are many that do not know they are or the purpose?

OP

[pitiedthefool]

Right. I know a few who don't know what it is, which is why I posted this originally. Just in case there were others.

[absolute_perception]

A wise decision. There might be some that have difficulty in social settings. Interestingly, I would not meet the age standards for this sort of interaction should the turn become a romantic one. In some cases, the age differences are staggering.

I would hope that each was matched according to interests?

[... this seems almost too convenient, given recent events]

Who are you?

[a.k.a. Reno, is that you? It doesn't seem like his style but... it still is very conveniently timed.]

Why's it called a blind date?

anonymous text forever

[pitiedthefool]

[Yes, but was that privatized? :>]

Just a friendly neighborhood anon who wanted to help clarify a few things.

[a.k.a. nope, not Reno... but another friend...?]

It's called a blind date because you don't know who it is you're being paired up with until you meet face-to-face.

Text forever unless I say otherwise since... idk

[attheclocktower]

But why would you not know who you're going with, if it's something like that? It doesn't sound like something you want to do with just anyone.

And what's an anon?

OP

[pitiedthefool]

Did you check just in case? I know a few people got signed up without their knowing, too.

[sacred_flamer]

[foreseeing_one]

Very interesting. Is it necessary to dress up?

anonymous text;

[pitiedthefool]

It generally depends on the kind of date. I suggest asking Michina-san about this event in particular.

[foreseeing_one]

Thank you for the advice. I will.

[midgarhorizon]

That just about does the job.

[What? He's relieved he didn't have to explain things.]

But if you're gonna do this, better go all the way. Some kids here don't know what romance, love or sex is.

[He totally doesn't mean the derps. Nope, not at all.]

[pitiedthefool]

[Hey, he tried.]

There, is that better? [Ha! Added a link- CRAP, almost forgot to add the anon tag...]

Re: anonymous;

[midgarhorizon]

[You are lucky, Yu.]

Helps.

'Course, on my world we got more of a thing for riding in on a Golden Chocobo and whisking the girl off for the day.

[Not really. He's joking, he only did that once.]

Did you get that from a dictionary, or textbook or something?

It sounds all....funny.

Though, all that sounds really tedious.

anonymous text;

[pitiedthefool]

Whether I did or not, does it matter? It still gets the point across.

anonymous text;

[xroyal_bratx]

I guess not, since It sounds really strange. Is that how you guys do it in the present day?

As funny as that sounds, it looks more interesting the boring old 'dates' we used to have.

[warriorscribe]

I see. Thank you for the information, it seems I've missed several things while I've been indisposed. I'd been wondering what a "date" meant in this context as I read previous entries, as it couldn't have possibly meant the fruit.

*Yeah, he's been reading the network now that he's back on his feet and won't fall asleep in the middle of it, thanks to Sola.*

[pitiedthefool]

Are you alright now? I saw the message about medical attention being needed earlier...

And no, they didn't mean the fruit. Though that is an interesting image, there.

[beknightedheroine]

so okay OP-kun should we just

compile some sort of archive of (≧∇≦)/ ~HELPFUL GUIDES~ because at this rate we could probably print out all the ones that's been written and make a special tower self help book out of them

not here

[nodeviations]

[What.

Sayaka this OP-kun isn't OP-kun.

Sayaka stop you're making him territorial of his title.

Sayaka, damnit.]

OP

[pitiedthefool]

Sounds like a good idea, considering.
