"Marriage Partner Hookup Megathread! "

That sounds too much serious in my opinion and it can lead to people dealing with things way too fast. To be entirely honest, I have certain doubts about the services this thread provides... I don't want to be sceptical, yet it seems slightly forced and unnatural.

In the best case scenario you are going to eternal bond with a person you like over longer period of time, here it is setting the eternal bond pressure right from the start which can mess up people's minds.

Personally I would approach the eternal bond like this:

1. You befriend a girl/boy/chocobo :P
2. Then if you like them, you might try to flirt with them to see if there is a positive response (and then it usually escalates *cough, cough*)
3. And if the response is there you can eventually suggest the eternal bond thing

Yep, the thread might be slightly rushing the whole thing and creating unnecessary expectations.
