The Dating Meme
Dating is, when you think about, really weird. It's a totally different thing for different people. Some are friends for years before they date; others start dating on the same day they met. Sometimes, there's a lot mushy stuff involved; other times, the couple acts just like friends. None of this is necessarily right or wrong.
Whatever it is, your character and the character you reply to are now dating. How? That's up to you. Whether it be awkward or not, the relationship will be uniquely theirs.
How to Play
-Comment with your character and preferences.
-Reply to others.
-Have fun.
Prompts
1. Best Friends to More: Oh, wow, you've been this person's friend forever! But then you realize you have feelings for them, and they for you. Will things change when you change your status?
2. The Sudden Decision: Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here I am, date me maybe?
3. Confession: You've had feelings for this person for, like, ages, and you want to ask them to date you. Or maybe the confession just slips out...
4. Hate Date: You really don't like this person; actually, you hate them. But you don't want them to be with anyone else!
5. I Guess We're Dating: Huh. We are dating, aren't we? Everyone else knew before us...
6. Slow Decision: For the more mature and seasoned, they might fall into something sweet without needing to rush.
7. Been Burned Before: One of you has had a bad relationship, and now both of you have to bear that brunt if you want to date now.
8. Innocence: This is your first real relationship, so you have to figure it out together. That's harder than it looks.
9. Courting: You're from an old-fashioned world or are old-fashioned yourself, so it's courting, not dating. Still, maybe you can sneak away from the chaperon.
10. First Date: Your first true date. What's it like? What would happen if...I don't know...it went bad?
11. First Kiss: Of course.
12. First Time: Together or in general.
13. The Perfect Couple: The couple that never argues and is more like best friends than a couple.
14. The Not-So-Perfect Couple: Ugh, these guys always argue and seem to despise each other. Why are they even together?
15. Comfortable: You can do anything around or in front of your honey.
16. Not Cut Out for Dating: One of you is anti-social, a jerk, a stoic badass, whatever. You're not dating material...yet here you are.
17. Getting on Each Others' Nerves: Spending too much time together can get even the most patient people annoyed with the person they're dating.
18. Know What You Like: It's almost like they can read your mind, whether it be in the kitchen, at the store, or in the bedroom.
19. Trouble in Paradise: Maybe it's external factors, or perhaps internal, but whatever the case may be, things aren't looking so sunny.
20. Test the Strength: Someone else has an obvious crush on the person you're dating. What do you do?4. Hate Date: You really don't like this person; actually, you hate them. But you don't want them to be with anyone else!

21. Pregnancy Scare: Hey, it happens. So, how do you feel when the period turns up missing?
22. Getting Serious: Things are getting way deep with this person. They may be the one...or maybe they think they are, while you're not too sure.
23. Old Hat: This relationship is dull. Can you get back the spark?
24. End It: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to see other people.
25. Taking It to the Next Level: You don't want to date them anymore. You want to marry them.

[A yes. She said yes. She said yes! Even if she's calling him an idiot (it's a sign of love), saying he shouldn't have doubted, she said yes and she said it outright, she loves him, how could he ever have doubted this feeling that's tight in his heart? He could take on the world, he's Hououin fucking Kyouma, he's already taken on the world once - and with Kurisu by his side and his labmems in his pocket, there's nothing he can't do.]
[He realizes the guy probably shouldn't be tearing up during a proposal, but his eyes are watering, his face is screwing up nevertheless. Still, he's smiling giddily under it, a different sort of grin than when he's teasing someone. She might recognize it as the 'Kurisu did something cute, romantic, or otherwise wonderful' grin.]
I love you, Makise Kurisu. I'm- I'm in love with you. As long as we live, I never want you to doubt it. I want to provide for each other, and have you with me, and everything... I'm so happy. [The last words sound like he's going to start bawling any second. In a weak attempt to stop himself, he looks up at her (that was a mistake, he thinks as a tear finds its way onto his cheek) and pops the box open. The ring inside is something that he thinks fits her, but something she could wear without it getting in the way: a diamond's set into the metal, with two rubies to either side. It is probably the first purchase he's made in his adult life without cheaping out, and it might be the last; live it up.]
[And then he says, or more asks:] Give me your hand?
