Moreover I think they are quite prudent when it comes to starting a love romance. Thinking over too many things is common among them. “I would definitely be in a whole world of trouble! Think of the responsibility one has to take and the bondings and the sharings; besides I can no longer bare being pathetic…” said FavoriteBlue who has had a sour love romance. “Other than going out with someone, there are a good many things that are valuable. I just don’t want to waste my time and life on something that I can live without.” Said 7&Monosacch who has never been gone out. Maybe Wang’s right that himono as a social phenomenon can be changed.
