I've seen a lot of relationships blow up in people's faces. One of my bodyguards/ assassins, Kenshin, had a serious relationship (at my advice because he was going absolutely nuts). So what I didn't know was that the girl he was dating already had a fianceƩ that Kenshin-san had, well, butchered on the streets of Kyoto... Now it goes without saying that things went wrong, REALLY wrong at the end of their relationship because she wanted to kill him and he actually came to love her. It ended in a bloodbath with Kenshin-san torn and scarred for life (of which I feel mostly responsible).
I have been reluctant to join the dating scene not for any hikikomori reasons, but in encroaching my own dating pursuits I'm a hella bit reluctant. I'm especially cautious considering that my scenario feels almost identical to Kenshin's. Ikumatsu-chan is a previously married lady whose husband's death was my fault (not as direct unless you count death by justaway direct). I had an honest heart to heart with her, and I confessed to her the truth. It wasn't what I expected because I guess she forgives me because Ikumatsu-chan doesn't want me killed. but I'm needless to say... reluctant. I'm hella reluctant to step up the relationship from a friendship. Not to mention we met in the most awkward of circumstances...
So I figure that dating should be like looking for really good soba... The best come to those who wait.
