Pairing: srs bsns?

When Mork and I paired, it was to troll our friends who shipped us at the time, I think? XD We put it in our sigs and waited until they noticed and flipped out.

So yeah, I've obviously never taken it seriously. Or at least, I've never taken it as anything necessarily romantic.

...you mean you didn't take it seriously when I confessed my undying love for you? ;;

But yeah, in all seriousness, Erica and I pretty much paired to see our friends' reactions, and we just left it that way since she's one of my closest friends on PC and we've known each other for a really long time. To me, pairing is just something between two close friends and not necessarily anything romantic - though I know some people are actually in a relationship with their pairs. But that's not for me.

She clearly doesn't feel the same about you. You're not in her signature XD

Yeah... sorry, man, but you just clutter up my signature. :( Maybe there'd be room for you if we still had the profile field for pairings.
 
On past forums, I paired with best friends. Here at PC, I noticed that several members regard pairing as something for romantic partners. I was quite uncomfortable about pairing here. I did have a few pairs here in the past. They didn't really work out. Online relationships, and romantic stuff in general, are not for me. I took years before finally accepting pairs again.

Romantic or not, that's not really the point. Your pair... Your pair is someone who completely accepts you for who you are. Your pair is someone you can tell your secrets and your imperfections to. Your pair is someone you can be real with. Your pair is someone who can make you laugh and cry at the same time. Your pair is someone who understands what you mean by "asdfghjkl" or other keyboard farts. When you're left speechless or you don't know the words to say or type, your pair still understands you. Your pair knows when you need him/her but also knows you need your space. You and your pair work together, pulling each other out of any kind of dark times... You do end up growing closer to this person... You can have someone like this in your life and he/she isn't necessarily a romantic partner. This person is your pair! I know, I described a best friend. A pairing may be romantic but it should not have to be. I shouldn't be pressured into thinking so, haha. Pairing at its very core is... a person you can trust thing. I'm not afraid of trusting someone now, and neither should you be. Have some fun! That's all.

Have a lovely day. :)

I'm not in a pairing, but it'd be cool if I was. I wouldn't mind having a random pair to grow into a PC BFF type person~. In fact I'd like it alot~
 
I'm currently paired to a long-time online friend from before either of us joined PC. We met through fan fiction and would proofread and comment on each other stories (though that's been one-sided lately since she has an active story and I don't). We don't take it too seriously, just as friends from way back when :)
 
Aha, I remember when I was pretty new to PC I took pairing super seriously. I was so jealous of this girl who ended up pairing with the guy I wanted to pair with-- and after that little spat I somehow ended up always being the one who "left" for another pair or "stole" someone else's pair. (This is totally not a parallel to how I am IRL cough...) But I never thought it was romantic per say-- it was clear to me by how everyone else treated it that it wasn't really a romantic kind of thing. To me it was more of a status kind of thing-- like, "Hey look back off I know this person the best okay thanks bye."

But after I paired with parallelzero for-- damn, IDK if we're even still paired, it's been like 5 years DAVID ARE WE STILL PAIRED I think we are?? XDDDD But yeah after that, I stopped taking it so seriously because he didn't take it that seriously either.
 
Now, I'll be honest here: I take pairings seriously knowing that we can be more than just "friends." Once a pair, I try my best to keep them as long as possible. I'm not one to joke around with things like these...although I don't mind if others joke around with it.

I see a pair as a friend who's there for you, spills their secrets, and isn't afraid to reveal their true colors.
