In college, during the Summer of 2010, there was a girl living in my fraternity house who I got to know. When parties wound down at 1 a.m., we would often find ourselves sitting together and having deep, drunken/high conversations. I remember one such conversation that was a debate about politics. She was Liberal and I was Conservative. The debate was getting very heated, so heated that I remember her stopping to say, "I hate you!" Our conversation froze for about 10 seconds. I remember feeling the best I've ever felt. For some reason, the fact that I brought that thought out of her made a surge of romantic feeling flow through me.

Can someone explain why I found this to be such a romantic moment?

Dude, it's over, it was 4 years ago. Who cares? This sounds like another one of your threads on overthinking. Instead of glorifying past moments or theorizing about how to bag worms, get out into the world and talk to real, live women. Pretend to go Christmas shopping. You'll meet a ton of 'em. They're mobbing the grocery stores now, too.

Maybe you're a masochist.

Maybe you got off on the fact that you could inspire such deep emotion from someone...

And not to burst your romantic bubble of loathing, but she probably meant she hated your politics, what you stand for...more so than actually hating you.

That's the first thing I thought too.

Because you're desperate for a reaction and at least that was a reaction.

It seems lonely and sad to me.

"Take me now!"

I guess I can see it happening.
