which is why many people here marry from a very young age, mostly as soon as they leave high school
well, you can still pursue a relationship secretly, but I don't find any pride in that (nor do I think my poor social skills will come in handy here)
I did crush on and meet other girls but this one lasted longer
I may or may not propose to her depending on my sanity level at the time, but that's all I can do if I wanted to have a serious relationship with her. All in all, I feel like Eddard Stark at this point, I may very well end up with someone I don't know and just have a traditional marriage. I did tell my parents to fuck off and stop looking for girls for me, which probably makes them think I'll be a bachelor until I hit 30 or something, and it's closer to the truth than I'd like to admit. I don't want to jump into that shit until I'm ready to commit and I'm not ready yet. I still have to finish my degree, get a decent job, and pretty much be financially stable.
