real talk guys

does it count as dating someone if you go back in time and it neer happens

can you go on two first dats

or does the first one only count

Comments

[bleating_heart]

its your life. it doesn't count if it never happened for them, but it's up to you whether it counts for you. you can't erase what's SAVEd in your heart.

[righthandstand]

but like you need two people for it to count as a date

going on a date alone is just sad
and that doesnt count

so if i went on a date and she didnt what actually happened

[bleating_heart]

uh

s

Yeah that doesn't count don't count it definitely

sorry man

pretend this is text

[aerospacecommander]

I say no, but others have said it still counts. Well, not specifically dating but other actions taken anyway.

Do you want it to count?

[righthandstand]

dunno i just suddenly thought about it
and im worried what that means

[aerospacecommander]

Does the other person remember?

[mech_and_mutt]

Just make it happen again once these time loops stop! You'll probably embarrass yourself less the next time around, too.

[righthandstand]

but ill be going at it like a second date or thrid date or 100th date while shes going at it like its the first time she ever met me
its not the same
its like i dreamed it all up becuase i wake up one morning and everything is the same except i know her as a person and she knows fuckall about what im like
isnt that kinda creepy? like i was a stalker

after you go on a first date, its suppose to be special right
you come out a changed man and all
but you cant experience it the same way
that aint how memories work

[mech_and_mutt]

Hey, we didn't ask to be stuck in this. It's not stalking if YOU didn't have a choice in the matter, right? And it's not like you're doing this for cheap thrills, either.

But it's not that complicated. If you did it again afterwards, it'd be HER first date, but not YOURS, so

[There's a long pause.]

Furballs, you're right, this IS hard.

[masqueraid]

Sounds like the plot of a movie if I remember right...
49 First Dates, I think it was called.

[righthandstand]

never heard of it
whats it about

[It came out long after his time.]

[masqueraid]

Guy meets girl, they seem to hit it off all the typical romcom stuff happens, until the next day when he tries to talk to her again...
She acts like she doesn't remember him at all. Turns out she has ante-retrograde amnesia and can't make any new memories since this accident she had.

On the bright side, the times that he blew it with her go forgotten, at least.

[whirluendo_of_puns]

oooo did you go on a date??? even with all this going on???

way to go okuyasu!! (°∀°)b

[righthandstand]

yeah! her older sister works at madhuri's place

i had to try to get it right after a couple of loops but i did it!

[whirluendo_of_puns]

wow i didn't even think of that. dating would be so much easier with do overs huh.

soooo are you gonna keep seeing her after the time loops stop?

[charming_jerk]

see this is one of the million reasons why time travel sucks

idek

i guess take it up with the person you dated and see what they think... unless they don't notice the loop

at least you got a lotta chances to get it right

[righthandstand]

ask her if she notices the time travel??
i mean yeah if that goes wrong i can redo it

what if she believes me

and now i have to do it every loop

aaaaaarrrrrgghhhh

my head hurts from thinking too much!!

[pidgeypidge]

You could think of it like reloading a game from a previous save. You already know what happens so you're not going into it completely blind.

[righthandstand]

i guess?
i dont play video games much

except that gatcha game

damn i really dont want to make a good roll today and have it wasted
you think ill get the same people every loop?

[alborada]

[ ... Something about this feels oddly familiar, even if she’s confident she’s never been on a date. ]

It would depend on what your feelings and intentions were, I believe.

[righthandstand]

I like her

but I also want this to be perfect you know?

[yourethesunflower]

I guess it depends whether the other person remembers.

If only you remember then you only get one first date but it's always the other person's first date.

I think it'd be kinda creepy to date someone over and over without them remembering though?

[righthandstand]

yeah that's what im thinkin
the thing about it being creepy I mean

but does it count as a date?
because a date only really happens between two people and if its erased and only I remember it then whats it called?

[peninhand]

"Second" date.

I'm sure you want to forget as much as I do that this thing happened. But unfortunately the time loop doesn't go that far.

As for your question, going back in time doesn't mean it never happened. It happened, you're proof of it.

[Shit. Her again. They didn't talk after their February ice cream date and he doesn't want to see her again. Neither of them were thinking straight and acknowledging that disaster meant confronting how both of them felt.]

I mean the first date with rem
She's the girl I went out with

My first date where I'm totally normal
What do you mean I'm proof
