Valentines day event fail

[Alleo]

I find it interesting you only respond to my first paragraph when the second deals with your objection. So I will put it out here again as I believe it deals with the main issue I have with those who are not fond of Astrid’ plan. There seems to be this assumption if he looks for love at work he is going to be creepy about it and cause problems. However, in the other scenarios he won’t be creepy. I mean the man is either a creep or not. You can’t have it both ways. :P

I did not include it because I dont care if it could lead to creepy situations or not. IMO one should simply not give such an advice to someone completely new to love. What would search among them include then? When they went to Geva he talks about love. Its not like Astrid gave him much help there either.

In the end her advice only managed to make it awkward between him and Geva and to introduce him to the worst NPC of the whole game..but since neither Astrid or Lisette have a problem with abusing men its a success..and such an ending for a event that is all about love.

I do agree with the sentiments of your last sentence. If you look at the plans at their highest level both Burt's and Rod's plans could be summarized the same way, improve yourself to help you find love, which is a very passive approach. Astrid, on the other hand, had a much more active plan. She was all like, "Go looking and put yourself out there boy." I firmly believe to find love you do have to put yourself out there.

Improving oneself is not really passive. You have to take the steps to start to learn about yourself. And if you know what you want you will know what you want in a relationship. I mean he does not even know what type of person he likes. How would he even find one? Randomly doing it until its a success? Bert is also active because he has to step out of his comfort zone and search for something else to do next to work. People having the same hobbies are often great ways to start a relationship. He also can train to talk and interact with more people too. Astrid plan was to just go to Geva (she did not even ask him if he liked her) and let him hit on her. Which could have ended very badly for their business relationship. That honestly does sound like he just should hit on someone and not at least on those he already has some feelings for..and 100% never talk about love when you barely even know them.

I’m legitimately surprised this thread is still active.

Posts like that also keep it active.
