I get what you mean about shipping for the conflict, because I sort of sometimes do that.... but actually, usually it's that I can *see* the ship and understand why people do it and maybe I'll squee about it a little bit, but in the end all my OTPs tend to be happy and squishy. I really like relationships that have a lot of "awwwwww" moments in canon. cases in point: River/Simon, Brian/Justin, Harry/Hermione. Actually, I suppose my biggest exception to that would be Anakin/Obi-Wan, which is definitely one of my OTPs, but could you get any more conflicted? Damn. Haha :) But anyway, I get why you ship H/D, but I'm glad you can see where I'm coming from :)
Ahh... I'm kind of wondering if I might end up like that too. A lot of people (and things written about my school) have said that this is not a dating school - people party and hook up, but there is relatively little steady dating going on. Which makes me really, really sad, because I hate partying, and I would really like to meet someone to be with, just me and him. :-/ And I don't find your situation weird, it's quite understandable.
I'm not about to attempt to form a relationship with some random guys, and yet I feel like I'm missing out when I don't.
That's pretty much exactly how I feel, and it's so confusing! Blah.
*hugs* It's nice to know someone's in the same boat, at least.
