To be or not to be; a Potential Love Story

[he who tries to remember]

There, far, far, away, lives a woman that I spiritually and romantically admire, whilst I do not know her truly; personally, I nevertheless decided to ask: "what would come out of an attempt to court her", and the result was: 24 (2) 19, being optimistic by virtue, I then asked: "how to go about courting her" and I received: 8, (1,2) 60

(I know her merely via youtube)

If anyone would like to shed some light on this issue, I would be most grateful!

SO much love.

I don't think you would lose anything by trying to approach her. The hex 60 as the relating hexagram for your second throw does, however, indicate the existence of limiting factors.

Thank you G

Yes, this is only natural, as we do not really know one another (60), and we furthermore live far away from each other. But the second reading concerned which approach to take in regard to courting her... We do share many similar interests, and we are in many ways part of the same "movement", which may be what hex "8" is pertaining to, yet I cannot seem to understand/interpret which course it suggest that I take (1.2)...?

If you or anyone else has any suggestions as to other readings that I should undertake or suggestions as to specifics in relation to the "recommendations", I would be most grateful...

As I consider myself a rather decent poet; I asked: what would happen if I wrote and sent a love poem, and I received: 7, (2,4,6) 35 I do not necessarily interpret the casting as suggesting this be the best approach, which may be understandable, since we might simply not know one another well enough to start out therefrom. But my understanding of the reading may be flawed...

Once more, insights will are dearly welcomed; I send prayers of love and gratitude to everyone!

 

[ginnie]

I don't know how you might approach someone you only know on YouTube. This certainly is a challenge. I think you're right about the love poem: It's too soon.

 

[he who tries to remember]

Well I could write to her directly over the private messaging service provided by youtube...

I cast another reading, I asked what would happen if I wrote to her a direct, truthful, simple, (1,2/8) letter; and I received 53, 5, 52, huumm...

I thought there were more romantics on these boards

 

[tifa]

sounds like a green light to me - development from stand still (hex 52).

 

[ginnie]

This may take some time, but if you keep up writing to her, you will attain what you wish. 53.5 is a very auspicious line!

 

[Trojina]

well it is after alot of time and effort and setbacks so I wonder if the 53.5 relates to the youtube thing at all or the overall long term search for love.

I'm not sure it's that romantic to keep writing to a woman you never met....do you even know if she's single ? Write once but if there is no response I think to keep on persisting may just appear as if you were a weirdo stalker.

So you never met and she lives far away but you think this is romantic..? Well romantic for you anyway...it all seems a tad deluded to me but don't mind me I mean for all I knowshe might be the love of your life who knows but I think the 53.5 refers to a much bigger, more real quest for love than this don't you ?

24.2 probably counselled you to return to this real quest....?


Have fun.....but stay real


Now if you get married and walk off into the sunset together I'll have to eat my hat !

Oh and don't do any more readings before contacting her as without any response in reality from her end they could be about your quest for love and not be telling you it's "all systems go".


So next see what her answer says and thats the only answer to listen to

You can't exactly say this is a 'potential love story' now can you when she doesn't even know you ! maybe you were jesting

The 8.1.2>60 may suggest you have a look at the limits on this bond

 

[he who tries to remember]

Ahh yes, Trojan, your, as I see it, usual, cynical, approach, does have its truth which is why I consulted the oracle to start!

However, I'm not on a particular quest to find romantic love, I purposefully and intentionally live as what many would define as a monk, I try to give and receive love everywhere.

And she does know who I am, but only on a very, rather, superficial level. And yes, she is single.
And it is not that I'm infatuated by her, which I could never become without literally embracing someone, warm and beautiful, for a while, it is simply not my intrinsic predisposition, I simply felt the urge to consult the oracle to see if there could be anything, I'm strongly Aquarien, and paradoxically, Cancerian, simultaneously, meaning I have a detached universal perspective and manner of loving; and yet, I manage to find feeling based love for almost everyone I encounter I.e I fall in love all the time, with my dog, sister, male friend.

I simply felt an urge to pursue a hunch.

And, I feel, many people may appreciate the beauty of a love story which may be; in spite of enormous, initial, barriers; a common archetype, as far as I can see.

Thank you anyhow I'm still hoping for more predictive insights, since cynical and psychoanalytical approaches do not work for me

There's nothing psychoanalytical about my approach at all....what I was trying to point out is an answer such as 53.5 is a big answer.....it could well refer to some much greater quest for love in your life than than this particular incident. If you see that comment merely as cynical you missed my point.

Not sure why you would hope for more prediction as at this stage you might write and she may answer or not answer and then you'll know how to proceed.

Let us know what happens...and I'll get a hat ready to eat.

I don't think 60 Limitation is about meeting online, this is very common today. But long distances in a relationship are certainly a limiting factor, it is not easy. Even committed couples have great difficulty with issues where one person has better opportunities or their support group in a different city than their partner. When you both have lives in distant places, you would probably have to be unentangled, or pretty young to take on the inevitable question of who sacrifices their place.

You might approach her with questions about where she lives, career and her sense of community there, and if she is responsive go on to see what she thinks about travel and adventures in new places.

Thank you T, I truly appriciate you taking the time to help! but, from my perspective, the whole reason underlying asking the I ching is to find out how the prospects look, if they are dim, based on, what I see as, a true predictive analysis of the casting, I will simply not write such a letter , with all due consideration, and spare us both the trouble, since I've have been amazed, recently, how accurate the oracle actually is, whence one understands the embedded message, which can be a problem, particularly with the pitfalls of wishful thinking lurking in regard to personally relating questions such these...

Lavalamp, we are both young and highly independent by nature, without specific job related constraints; free spirits that often travel, your point is well taken, yet I feel these obstacles, if the atmosphere is conducive, will not present a (edit: major) problem, due to our lack of unalterable "obligations" (children, etc.)

 

[ginnie]

I have a detached universal perspective and manner of loving ... I'm still hoping for more predictive insights ...

Personally I've always gotten exactly what I was wishing for with line 53.5. It's a very powerful prediction of future completion for you. Since your manner of loving is more impersonal than most, writing a letter will make things easier for you in terms of connecting. Definitely do write a letter and put yourself forward. You won't be sorry.
