Working at a con is ok.. if your friend/s is also working with you or it can be boring. You might also miss out on fun events or getting to explore, so its not always worth it saving that 70 bucks. You do get extra perks sometimes like hanging around the VAs or getten some certificates for product. Anyway enjoy your stay

aside from anime. You should hit me up I'm super bored and wouldn't mind talking to some new friends. About the stuff I love.

Sounds like she doesn't have to get to know you since you two are good friends by that timeline. If she looks to you, you'd two would probably be inseparable. Don't let your flame die! Love never dies.

You learn a lot from your experiences with people. It's just more personal when you're dating or friends. I've had 2 really bad times where I had trouble getting over an ex (one of those is still current -.-||| ). The first one took me several years to realize I just liked being friends with my ex and we worked better in that capacity since I would always talk with him about my problems or to just talk and laugh about stupid stuff and have some intellectual conversations. I'm just now trying to work on backing off from the most recent ex that I felt deeply attached and in love with since I worked really hard on making our relationship better but he didn't want to continue working with me and is being difficult in different other ways. I understand the feeling of being different and people not exactly being on your side, causing you to feel alone. My reasons are not really similar, though, to those discussed already and some of them are more personal than I'd like to share.
