Having only recently discovered this part of the forums I have come across new terminology I don't quite understand. As the thread title says, this new term is "my pair". It would appear that it doesn't necessarily mean a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. Can anybody explain to me exactly what this means?

To keep chat going tell me, do you have a pair? How did you start talking with this person? Have you had a pair in the past? What do you think of this pair situation?

I honestly don't know so any help would be great. Thanks for any/all help!!

I have two pairs right now both of whom I ended up talking to primarily through the RPC - although I have known Resolution since the days we frequented the Game Development section.

I also have an "Arch Nemesis" in ShadowE which basically means a pair I'm not paired with who I like to make fun of and get my ass kicked in games by.

Basically my pairs (and ShadowE) are just people who have been a bi help to me and good friends to me here on PC - although there are also others whom I think of similarly that are not my pairs. It's just a fun thing to do haha

A pair to me is like a best friend, a right hand, a Spock to my Kirk. My pair and I won pairing of the year last year ♥♥ Lilith
Are you making fun of my name bro!? I know you can see it in my signature!!

It would also appear like I'm not cool enough for a pair!! No this isn't a request for a pair lol.

Omg me and my pair, Team Fail, was one of the most random events to me at PC.

To me, having a "Pair" was just a small perk/title associated a significant friend. But for Team Fail and I, we just wanted a pair and decided to choose each other (even though we barely talked). Of course, we talked a lot more afterward! I was just going through our conversation and it was totally random and the topic must have been brought up from a post I saw of his about being pairless.

So yeah! We're still Pairs now (I think, haven't talked to him in a while).

Apparently in our conversation I mentioned being paired in the past but I don't remember that happening??? What is this conspiracy??!?

So far I don't see the purpose of having a pair unless it's to be flirtatious.

Now who do I want to flirt with...
Flirting isn't the right word. Pairing can represent a close bond between good friends, or a romantic pairing. I certainly don't flirt with my pair. I consider Sakazuki to be one of my favorite people on this planet, but it doesn't mean that I have any romantic interest in him. That said, some do like to show their romantic interest through getting paired.

As Shining Raichu said, it's not that big of a deal or all that emblematic of anything; it's only for fun!

I'm coming up soon on being paired for a year. I met my pair at random last year, and we talk everyday just about.

The two guys I currently have (AWsquared and Starry Windy) share pretty much the same interests and similar traits with me. Windy looked up to me a lot as a member and we got paired last September. This May celebrates one year since me and AW paired, the main reason for this one was because we were pretty much great buddies despite living on opposite ends of the world.

I also have a hidden pair who I call my "biffie", an Australian named kuzronk. We have known each other since meeting at Serebii forums in 2011. He seems to share a lot of my common traits as well.

It's essentially just an "official" way of showing somebody you're friends lol. It's not really a big deal, just a bit of fun.
Spot on. I feel some people take pairing too seriously, and think it's synonymous with "having feelings for" or something like that. Personally, I haven't really bothered with a pair. Used to be because I myself was deluded, and twisted the definition of what a pair was for myself. Currently, it's because I'm too lazy to get one. ;c

I am actively looking for a pair, because to me it means an official couple, so I take pairs very seriously.
Sorry bro, I like girls.

In all seriousness though, good luck on your search!!

Well being new to this I think it should mean something more. I have a friends list for anything less than. My friends list just so happens to be public as well.

How would you differentiate a friend from a best friend, then, if you don't mind me asking? I think pairing would be a swell way to represent that.

A pair is just a person you know quite well and won't mind representing on your profile as a pair. The term does actually symbolize some kind of a relationship between two people not necessarily from the opposite genders. I respond to it like that. You have to first report your pair on this thread here. Then and only then can it go on your profile.

Well kuzronk isn't very active these days, but our friendship goes back to when I joined Serebii in 2011. We have similarities with each other and as such we bonded very well.

A pairing could work like that, I just meant something more than friends, not necessarily romantic feelings.

Note: I didn't realize Double Posts didn't auto correct here. I sometimes do it because it's easier and usually they are merged automatically.

I have four pairs. The first two are my best friends, Klippy and Hiidoran. Klippy and I are still great friends. He's my number one. I sadly don't talk to Hiidoran anymore, though. Our pairing is a threeway. ;)

My other two pairs are Guy and Aerial Ace. I was paired to Aerial Ace when he still had his other account and then broke the pairing after he left. Then it came back. He's also one of my best friends. And pretty much the same story with Guy. We paired after AA left the first time. Also a close friend.

Basically, I only pair with my closest friends. They're super babes.

"Pairing" can be taken in different ways.

For some people, it's just something fun that they do. I've had a pairing like this.

For other people, it's a way to show that the "pair" are close friends, that they talk every day and are as close as two (or more) people online can get. I also had a pairing like this.

For other people, "pairing" means that the two (or more) people are in an actual relationship together, and are a "real life" couple.

No matter how you slice it, though, it's a fun thing to do on the forums. I wouldn't stress out so much over trying to find a pair (though maybe that's because I find desperately searching for a relationship awkward) and it'll happen when it happens if you want it to happen. You don't have to point to one of your friends and declare them your pair. You can just be good friends or come up with something else silly to call one another.

I wanna get paired with Jesron Bans! But how can i do this?
Ask? Though good luck with that, since he hasn't signed onto the forums since June of last year.
