Lovequest FB 9/7 - Sad over not having a sweetheart

To be honest I am wondering how an actual steady girlfriend would impact his life.

It could surprisingly stableize him given how unpredictable he is but could also just add yet another saga to the timeline, especially if he experiences a breakup.
Even if Chris found an insane blind woman with no sense of smell, Barb would do anything to sabotage the relationship.
 
Both have issues and end up dying,not the best video game reference.

Atleast now it confirms something that probably everyone here knew,that he tried hooking up on twitter and failed.
 
Welp, here we go. The depression of loneliness is setting in once again.

I love that he says he hopes "she will find me"

That translates to : "I refuse to get off my lazy ass and go make an effort. I want a girl to literally come ring my doorbell (NOT OVER THE INTERNET, BECAUSE OF THE DAMN DIRTY TROLLS!) and say she's in love with my beautiful lesbian trans soul. And then we can have sex time together"
 
I completely agree with you, but that's only because Chris has been beaten into submission by society (metaphorically). Yes, I agree that the Wallflower and Catherine may have led him on, but that didn't stop him from exploding with rage when he realized he wasn't getting any. It didn't stop him from touching them after they said, "no, stop". The same thing with Megan. His being beaten into submission by society is the reason he stopped blabbing about all the imaginary sex he wants to have with straight women and lesbians. Get his guard down, and I am sure he will violate boundaries like no one's business.
I think you underestimate the degree to which Chris has internalized these lessons.

When Chris learns lessons about how he should/shouldn't behave, it doesn't happen easily. You really have to had fucked with Chris something fierce to get him to admit fault (whether he just admits it internally to himself or publicly). He doesn't give up these lessons easily. I think they're definitely long term changes.

It's kinda like training a dog not to shit on the carpet. After you've succeeded, if you leave them alone in the house, they still refuse to shit on the carpet. If you leave them long enough, they shit on the carpet and are extremely sheepish and embarrassed about it. Now, if you let them shit on the carpet regularly, they'll return to their old behavior of doing it with impunity.

He's kind of doing that with Patreon, in that no one's really punishing him for not sending out the comics, but he knows he's supposed to, so he gets all nervous and whiny about failing to send them out. He does that whether or not people are complaining. (Of course, if no one complains for long enough, he'll stop caring about it.)

So if you got his guard down, I still think he views these rules (regardless of how little he understands them) as pretty important. He'll stick to these rules as long as he sees evidence that people care about them. It doesn't need to be much evidence. Just signs that, for the same reasons he got bitched at by past galpals, those rules still apply today.

It's why Chris is so absolutely indignant about being called creepy for creeping on people on twitter. I think he really is "following the rules", and that's why he's so pissy.
Because they've probably made it abundantly clear and direct with, "I have a boyfriend or partner". That's what makes it so terrible is that Chris isn't friends with the sake of being friends with them, he's always in it for the thought of the potential Chyna. Sure, ponies and shit must be great to discuss, but Chris still has a singular mindset.
I think Chris' mindset includes sex and all of that stuff as equal. He's concerned about finding a replacement Barb, but that's a more practical concern. I think Chris' time would be very rarely sex focused without that.

I think a big issue is that Chris doesn't believe in boundaries. "Sex with your therapist? Why not??", says Chris. Chris doesn't go to therapy for the sake of having sex, he just wouldn't see any inherent reason why you can't have both.

Every limitation in the world seems arbitrary and unfair to Chris unless he was the one to invent it.

Heh, like put Chris in charge of a parole board and he'd let out ever hardened criminal who whines to him about "past mistakes" and "how they've changed".

Oh, he tries to find people.

It's just that there's like 10-20 nerds/gays in Charlottesville that he might want to bang. And they aren't interested.

Chris can't find someone without not being himself. Or just not living in bumfuck VA.

So...what is he EXPECTING exactly?

I mean, let's use Doopie as an example here. Let's say, in his wildest dreams, that Doopie fell for him. What's next? Does he expect Doopie to move to a podunk nowhere town in Virginia and live in his filthy house with him? Because I don't think he'd abandon his mother to move elsewhere for a girl.

Or has he not put in any forethought at all?

Yes. These expectations have come up before. He does expect that she'll move into 14BC and take over for Barb.

Chris rarely expresses interest in places outside of Charlottesville. I don't think he's ever considered the possibility of living elsewhere permanently.

Edit: Well and regarding dumping Barb and leaving, he wants to, but he wants someone to take care of Barb. So if a girl said "hey, here's a live-in nurse, leave your mother and come with live me instead", I think he'd seriously consider it.

Then he will just be alone forever. If the sight of Chris alone isn't enough to scare a woman away, then seeing the hell house that is 14BC and coming to terms that you will have to be the "housewife" of that stygian pit would scare off even the most insane of women.

(Fuck, I'd rather stay a night at Richard Matheson's "Hell House" than 14BC for a night)

JQ dropping the scariest 4 words in the English language.
While I agree with you that "We need to talk" is scary for almost any male to hear, the asspatters' comments are pretty damn scary too (and for a completely different reason).

All they are doing is giving Chris hope and encouraging him to continue his love quest without trying to change a thing. As @Marvin pointed out, it's not easy to get Chris to learn a lesson and to make any significant changes to his life. Conversely, Chris needs very little encouragement to continue doing the same bone-headed things he's always done, regardless of the fact that he has had little to no success with them.

So, when an asspatter tells Chris that there is someone for everyone out there, I'm pretty sure he hears that as "You just haven't found the right person yet. Keep it up and everything will work out fine!" which is actually one of the worst things he could hear.
