It's probably more that he started with the blood contract thing and then worked backwards to some sort of love contract thing signed in blood.. In his head, he probably just thought it was very romantic and not, y'know, extremely creepy, how it ended up being.
 
Chris is not a failure at romance...he just learned that almost every woman who shows an interest in him is a troll. It's almost like the light bulb and the couple thousand ways not to make one. Thomas Edison...the world famous inventor of the light bulb, AC current, and a few other things including film. Chris is just a...person who...learns...by failure. He'll get it right soon. Just you wait and see! Go for it Chris!

Maybe not. :(

Wait, is it possible that he's also banned from the McIntyre Park too?

Doubtful. It's a city park, so the city would have to ban him instead of say, a business owner.

It's only a matter of time until even C-ville starts playing everyone's favorite game.

Excuse my French, but AC is Tesla's work. DC was Edison's.

AC was Westinghouse, if I may put on the pedantic pants. Because of him, Edison gave us one of the many ways to not make a light bulb: the electric chair.
 
It's always bothered me how he speaks to his sweethearts like they are children. That "baby-talk" is not attractive coming out of a guy or a girl. Yuck.

At best, he probably heard somewhere that breaking contracts can bring legal punishment, therefore he figured if he got a girl to sign a contract, she couldn't break it, even if it was written in crayon on a chipotle napkin.

But then, that's a lot of ifs.

Well, I wouldn't agree. The two are hardly mutually exclusive. His intense paranoia these days has nothing to do with the fact that when in the company of a non-troll girl, he still is rude, disrespectful, incredibly condescending, can't keep his hands to himself, and has no idea how to tug a girl's heartstrings.

Chris manages to make everything creepy.

Also, I don't think he has an idea of romance, the most romantic thing he can think of is a date at freaking Mcdonalds.
I think that comes from his lack of empathy, he can't romance because he doesn't have the ability to think "gee I wonder if this will make this person happy?"
It's all about him and his needs.

I would imagine that his idea of romance would be an idealized tuxedo kamen, since he saw sailor moon, which is also sonichu's role with rosechu
He's the savior to the damsel in distress. Of course, there's the problem that this can't be applied in real life.
 
If you sign it in blood, it must be binding! After all, what are blood brothers/sisters for?

I think romance really truly escapes Chris. The closest to romance he's gotten to was the [cwc]Wedding Comic[/cwc]. He's got a generalized idea what romance should be according to what sources he's seen from TV or other sources(candles, petals on the floor leading to the bed, sharing a dinner with your heartsweet) but nothing solid.
 
I'm beginning to wonder if Chris is even capable of love. Any relationship in his life that resembles love seems childish. Even for his parents, I think he only 'loves' them as long as they nanny him. And when the roles reverse, he goes "It's not my purpose in life to serve my mother".

Exactly because in his head, romance is mostly just a means to an end... Or several I guess:

- hanky panky
- Crystal
- a life of comfort where he can be a househusband.

Is he capable of love? Probably, but from what I've interpreted, he sees it as a symbol more than anything.
 
He has said himself, that after he was kicked out of his English class and was crying outside, he realized he needed a girlfriend to comfort him when he is sad.

And to fix his "biological clock". :briefs:

At the risk of A-logging, he really isn't capable of love for another person. To Chris people are objects that exist to serve and glorify him. That's why he shows no gratitude towards Rocky for getting him Bell, he believes everyone should be bending over backwards to help him by default.

To add on to what you said about romance being a means to an end for him, I'd add that's how he sees everything. A means to an end, and that end is always the pleasure and comfort of Christian Weston Chandler.
 
To love someone implies that you care for that person, and caring for someone means you want what's best for that person.

I can't think of a single time in Chris's life where he cared about what's best for someone, other than himself.
 
Love can hurt as much as it can heal. There's no way Chris would put up with the hurt part, he's simply scream "troll" and look for another caretaker.
 
From a site called (funnily enough): Lovepanky.com

#5 Selfish love

Your partner loves you. You love you.

Selfish love is a narcissistic love where you don’t care about your partner or their happiness. You only care about yourself. If you ever find yourself getting into a relationship just for the heck of it without really falling in love with the other person, chances are, you’re a selfish lover.

Selfish lovers are clever, scheming foxes who only get into a relationship to see what they can get out of it.

Also, from HubPages.com

Eros; In Greek mythology, eros love was taken from the Greek belief in a "god" of love called by the same name. The word actually means "longing and desire." Its like the "feeling of love" Eros is a selfish love; it asks "what can I get for myself?" Eros is associated with a sexual love.

Chris's idea of a date was to have dinner at mcdonalds then mess around in the restrooms... I don't think Chris is a very romantic person. I think he sees himself as a very romantic person though. I mean, he sees himself as handsome, highly intelligent and an artistic genius, so it's no stretch to say that he probably considers himself very romantic when he wants to be.

He cared deeply for his dog, Patti. Chris was absolutely devastated when she died. Hell, he admitted to crying on the one-year anniversary of her death.
