Not sure I understand the second to last page. Is she just thinking about him there and thinking about the words her sensei said?

Thanks for the update!

Hm i wonder if I've met someone who doesn't ever have a crush in their whole life before.

 

[Huiiii]

Poor mc

@imtaciturn Well, you haven't met me but I haven't had a crush on anyone ever despite reaching the ripe age of 25 I have always been a late bloomer though when girls my age were starting to get aware of boys, I was obsessed with turning into a ninja courtesy of TMNT . I always thought that love stuff was for adults. I am now one but I still haven't had a crush or a first love. I am not sad though. I only think that I am little weird.

 

[imtaciturn]

@momomo5 ooohhh, i guess if there's a story about one, there is a real person out there with more or less the same situation. I've never been in love myself and am 21. I always ask my sister how she knows his boyfriend is the one so i don't find that weird but to hear someone who has never had a crush is pretty rare.

So do you ever feel like you want to experience how it feels? Being in love or having a crush? Bcos even if you're not sad about it, you don't sound like you hate the idea itself.

@momomo5 @imtaciturn hi!! sorry to interrupt, but ashguofdgj i'm actually the uploader of this series, but i'm in the same boat! or rather, it feels like i'm making up crushes for myself, but i've never had my heart beat fast bc of someone or like. butterflies outside of usual anxiety. (this was part of the reason i was interested in doing this series; i myself identify as grayaro, aka on the aromantic spectrum.)

and to answer the question, i think i'd love to, but i'm not sure if what "crush" i'm creating is because i want one (how much am i interested in the person themselves, versus how much is it just liking stories about love.) at the same time, i have a friend who hasn't had a crush (identifying as aromantic) and isn't interested, either. so i guess it all depends!! (and don't worry, momomo5, you're not as weird as you may think! there're a bunch of us out there) ^^

((off-topic, but i really like the word taciturn))

 

[imtaciturn]

@calvitre ahh it's okay to interrupt! And thank you for your story. I've never really known anyone who identifies as aromantic so this kind of stuff is a first for me. It certainly opens up my eyes to things that i don't know and am not aware of. I feel kind of dumb that i thought that everyone must have had at least one crush in their lives just because having a crush is something that i experience all the time.

I'm aware that some people identify themselves as aromantic or on the aromantic spectrum (grayaro is a new term for me) but I've never really connected the dots between that if there are people who are aromantic, there are indeed people who have never had a crush in their whole life.

Thank you for working on this series! It's been a pretty fun one + i even got to know new stuff from you and @momomo5

I chose that word as my username because i like it myself

@imtaciturn To answer your question, I am not against falling in love or having a crush. It's just going to being difficult considering my psychology, since I was a little girl I've been seeing my mom's female friends and relatives really miserable with their marriages. Marriages that were done out of love. So I have developed some trust issues regarding men and relationships 'cause I have seen firsthand how truly cruel and vicious men can be when their 'love' runs out. I am not saying all men are like that and my father is a proof of that. Those trust issues combined with my social awkwardness due to being bullied all through primary and middle school, makes it hard to form bonds with the guys around. I'm proud to say though that I was bullied 'cause I refused to conform (I am ninja after all ) so the girls followed by the boys isolated me. After that, I went to a different secondary school and just finished a degree in engineering and I met a whole lot of different people and learned that the world is much more than that class full of mean girls. I am mostly okay now but I still find my heart racing when talking to people I'm not really acquainted with due to fear. So my mind is always in survival mode, there is no space to think "oh that guy is cute or sexy". I am just trying not have a panic attack.

so @calvitre I don't know if that qualifies me to be on the spectrum though. I also know people who fall in love for the sake of wanting to be in love. Never ends well. So my advice is to take it at your own pace. Maybe we will experience love and having crush but not with same intensity as a normal being. Also, like you I love reading about love. Although unlike you, I just think that being really in love would be hassle.

Sorry for the long reply.
off topic I really like how the word taciturn "sound"

 

[imtaciturn]

@momomo5 ah if i were in your place, i guess i would have troubles falling in love as well. even hearing stories from the internet about cheating partners/broken marriage is already scary, I wouldn't know how it feels to see that firsthand.

the part about you being a ninja always gets me, sounds like you have a great time being a ninja XD But I am glad to hear that you manage to get away from your bullies and meet other people. I hope that one day you'll be able to meet new people without having to be in a constant state of survival mode!

i know i'm not the creator of the word taciturn, but now i feel proud seeing so many people (well only 2) liking it
