^ In that case Ayumi. Ayumi by faaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr.... xD

Nope. I just need to defend her more often! XD

I do, but he wouldn't be one for dating her. xD lol

That's the point... he doesn't. Haibara probably won't have any interest in dating for a couple more years, anyways. She's one of those people who are so smart they really don't think about dating until they find THE ONE. And when Mitsuhiko grows up, I'm betting she'll be interested in him with how similar they are. And so what if he learns the truth? He wouldn't have to commit himself to her at such an early age. He would have plenty of time to grow up a little and make his choices and sort out how he feels before he takes that path. Holding onto something you're not even sure really loves you is kinda.... sad. And not in a dramatic way... more of a face-palm way. xD

No you're not dude, don't lie. xD (And here's the link to what I'm referencing... xD )

DCW's Shounen Girlfriend lover. ;D

.... It's actually... really... REALLY likely. She has nothing to return to and Mitsuhiko's personality fits her perfectly. *Shrugs* I don't doubt it'll happen for a second.

Good luck with that one. xD Something horrible is likely to happen to either one of them before that happens. Maybe Shinichi will get shot and Ran will say she likes him on his deathbed and he'll say "I know" like in Star Wars. I think that's probably the more realistic thing to happen here.

For the last time. NOBODY EXPECTS FOR AYUMI TO DATE AT 7 YEARS OLD. SHINICHI WOULD NOT BE A PEDOPHILE FOR DATING HER. Why you all refuse to acknowledge that is beyond me. D: Ayumi is too young to date, period. Once she gets old who sees an issue in Conan falling for her? (Or Shinichi falling for her... when his relationship with Ran finally burns out like the tiny flame that it is. xD)

Oh no... not another ones of THOSE times. xD Alrighty then. Argue with ya when I argue with ya.

If they ever get around to it it will probably just be awkwardly looking at each other and him running off without them actually accomplishing anything.... as always.

Good, that means you know I genuinely believe what I'm saying and I'm not budging. Okay... well if that was your statement what did it have to do with me saying that Shinichi meant it as like? Ran may have taken it as love, but we all know how DRAMATIC she is. xD That comment really has nothing to do with the argument at hand. My point is that I highly HIGHLY doubt that Shinichi is in love with Ran and that I have evidence that can support it. Ran TAKING it as love means nothing to this argument. xD And inferring is kinda what these threads are, you know, FOR. XD There wouldn't be arguments if people didn't INFER. (AiCon is BASED around INFERRING Haibara's feelings to Conan and... ShinRan kinda is too, really. O_o But AyuCon is also inferring. All couples are, actually.) Arguing couples is kinda based around what people trick themselves into believing and what people actually believe with a strong theory. Shifting it? Oh no. That was my error. I read it incorrectly. I didn't mean to do that. (Well then WHY are you arguing with me about THIS? XD)

Feelings are feelings. Like is like and love is love. Too circumstantial? We know that those are the circumstances. We are'nt saying "Well... IF he HAD done this" and "If he DIDN'T do that..." w'ere saying "He DID run away" and "He DOES put her below his cases". We know for a FACT that he is a teen. May I also include that teens often dramatize everything, and we already know that Ran is a tad bit... dramatic. But you CAN confess to liking somebody. And once again, Ran is a TEENAGE GIRL. A DRAMATIC teenage girl, at that. She may have took it like that, but with everything else, I think it's safe to sum up he meant LIKE and not LOVE. And I know you aren't trying to defend them. If it were AiCon we were arguing about.... THEN I may think that.

Love and like are far from the same thing. Point of the matter is, when you put all of the evidence together and then add on the translation, then I think it WAS leaning more towards like. I don't think he was saying love. If he was, then that entire list would be gone. xD
