So. What does pairing with someone on PC mean to you? Love? Friendship? Fun? Status?
Feel free to explain how you feel about it.

To me, Pairing is...somewhat of a significant thing. Not that I'm taking it too seriously or anything, but I feel that pairing with someone is a mark of loyalty as a friend. It can lead to deeper affections, that is true, but that generally happens to well established pairings.

When I was paired, it was pretty much friendship. Which is what I tend to consider pairing to be, at least, not really love, I guess, or not at the moment. I suppose that its also just for the fun of it too =]

Depends if the person they paired with is their girlfriend or what?

And besides, it means both love and friendship. I love my friends in the friend way, so I guess I can't choose between love and friendship. XD;

I say that is' a mix of all the above, but to me; love and friendship really stands out more.

When pairing with someone, regardless of his/her gender, I would say that it represents a closer bond between members. That bond is probably closer and tighter than other bonds that the member might make.

I have a pair, a great pair. <3 I love her very much, but not too much. We know where to set the limits, and this all happened because we both figured that this would be a cool thing to do. Overall, Ookami and I are super special awesome friends here. :3

It really depends.

It can be love. Rogueslay (Akuma) and I are paired because we are boyfriend and girlfriend online. (Don't give me the standard "It's DANGEROUS." I know, okay? I've done this before, and I'm not going to be stupid and get into any predicaments.) If you have feelings for someone online, their personality, how they are and how they talk to you, then you can pair and become BF/GF.

But it can also be friendship. Arctic Husky (Jordan) and I are paired on Cavern of Mew, but we're not boyfriend/girlfriend. We're good friends that can talk about anything together. We probably would never be together, especially considering his orientation XD Gay guys and straight girls do not get together, so all we'll ever be is friends. Good friends.

And, sometimes it's just for fun. Something to do, something to put in your signature.

(As you can tell, I picked all 4.)

On SPPf, I was paired to a guy, and he was my boyfriend. But I'm pretty sure that before then, I was paired to a random person to look "cool". I was like, 12. So I didn't really think about it.

There's a lot of definitions for it.

And now, Savannah-chan will disappear in a poof of smoke, having contributed way too many useless facts that no one will read to this topic.

Uhm, friendship mostly. Me & Dukey are great friends. <3

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

Emoticon love.

Though my last two pairs (Memory and Macintosh) weren't that good (Memory's and mine only lasted an hour. rofl), they were..exciting. Now that me and Guillermo and pairs, after months of pleading, it's sexy. And emoticon love is at it's best.

Well, most of my pairs before were friend ones. XD Lately though, they have been out of love, especially my recent pair. <33

I've only had two pairs, ever. Both times, we were really close friends at the time, so I figured, why not? It's a sign of how close I am with them. It's also something fun to put in my sig. I guess I take it somewhat seriously. I wouldn't just pair with someone I don't know as well as I did Paul and Matt.

I wouldn't say love, though. Despite all the teasing I get from my family about Matt being my "online boyfriend". They barely know he exists. I don't get where the boyfriend part comes from. ._.;

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Both a bit of love and friendship. My first pair was a good friend, the second was what you could call an online crush XD ( he's still in my sig, I can't let go ;____________; /me is slapped )

But I've decided I can't fall in love online (yeah, decided XD) so it would be more about deep friendship if I got a new pair. I've got an irl boyfriend so :p The people I want here are taken anyway ^^ lol

Being a pair means very good friendship and love. xD

Before you all go on my case, I must say that when I saw 'love' I mean like you love your friends a lot but not the other kind of love. ^^;

I never really found the need for a pair. That said, I've become apart of a very cherished online family and really look forward to whenever I can get on to see them. I could also argue that I've become as close as I would with a pair but with them instead. Although, I am still working on getting closer to one particular family member at the moment, but it's all just a matter of time before we become expose our intimacies.

Still, I think they're all definitely pair worthy, but why stifle a crowd?
