It doesn't really matter all that much to me, but given the choice, I'd go for bigger=better, if only because bigger tits usually come with an overall curvier body-type, and curves are what do matter a lot to me.
Ishikei.
Tony Taka's stuff is really good, but I feel like the way he draws women is kind of generic and his style doesn't have much distinct about it other than being really high-quality.
When I look at the women Ishikei draws, I feel like if I grabbed one by the waist, there'd be something to grab hold of. Between the two, Ishikei's women look more soft-bodied. Their breasts, thighs, vulvae, etc. seem to react a lot more to being squeezed and pressed against than in Tony's work, and I'm all over that.
Ishikei also draws cum better than not only Tony Taka, but better also than most ero-artists who do a similar amount of full-color work.

I spy with my little eye a GM Sniper II, from Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
Good eye! You're correct.
Somehow I had managed to set the resolution so low as to render the computer unusable, so we had to run a system restore on it.
This was back when I was around 6.

And I was wondering what does she mean by that? Well the conclusion I came up with myself was she doesn't like me enough,it's just some pity love... I really can't bring myself to continue pursuing, I don't like girls that could just come and go like that...Any thoughts?
Not pursuing is probably a really good call.
Honestly, I find the concept of a "trial relationship" baffling. I mean, either you're dating or you're not dating. A "trial relationship" seems to me like an arbitrary contrivance someone puts in place because they want the luxury of being able to cut it off at any point without feeling bad about it.
It's the type of thing I'd stay away from.
It's getting around that time once again. Connecticon 2013: July 12th-14th at the Connecticut Convention Center and adjacent Marriott hotel in Hartford, CT.

So, who's going? I know I'll be there.
As an aside, I'll also be hosting my "A Beginner's Guide To Eff'd-Up Hentai" panel there, in Panel 5 at 11PM Saturday.

Here's my thing about this issue: Even when the people commenting on this issue acknowledge that it doesn't occur in a vacuum, they act like it does. That is to say, even when the ideas that women are getting more picky and men are getting less desirable to women is mentioned, they are never explored. Rather, we hear the same spiel about artificial relationships again, without a full exploration of why they have become more popular.
We understand that men are becoming more "herbivorous," but what societal factors contribute to that? We understand that women are becoming more picky with men, but what in society is causing that? It's really easy to say "More and more men are escaping into dating sims and synthetic relationships and that's bad for society," but the fact that these people see the need to escape into virtual worlds is a symptom of larger societal issues, and so far, we've only seen it treated as a problem to be solved on its own, rather than a problem that has a root in deeper social problems.
To put it simply, I think the issue of dating sims and synthetic relationships is a much more superficial issue than people make it out to be, and I think the focus on it is putting proverbial blinders on us and preventing us from examining the big picture.
The fact that the majority of these analyses of this phenomenon are still from a "this stuff is weird" standpoint doesn't help, either.

One of the major downfalls for the male of our species is that we tend to think that we are entitled to some sort of return for our kindness, willingness to do things, etc... But in reality, we aren't entitled to anything. It's not like if we're super nice to a girl and chivalrous, she is obligated to go out with us. That sort of thinking turns nice guys (such as many of us in this thread) into those older bitter, stone hearted dicks that think women are evil (granted there are bitches out there but there are a lot of douchebag guys out there as well so it goes for both sexes). Nice Guy does not equal Girlfriend automatically and thinking that just by being nice will snag a girl is a shallow and naive way of thinking. It's tough try not to let it get to you. There are things that require time and nothing can be done about it. There are women out there that go for that bad boy type and then when they get their hearts broken, they run to their fall back nice guy and let them whisper sweet things in their ears until they feel better and run off again (in case it isn't apparent, I've been a victim of these women as well).Why does it have to be considered an "entitlement," though? Why is it an "entitlement" to want to be loved? I mean, we're taught to treat others how we want to be treated. Why is it unreasonable to be disappointed when that fails?
I'm not saying lament over it forever, or become bitter, but the fact that we're looking at a desire to be loved by someone as an "entitlement" bothers me deeply.
I've only seen Upotte!! so far, and I can already tell it's gonna be my #1 this season. I plan on watching Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, Accel World, and Medaka Box.
I'm kind of in the same boat, but my situation's different.
I'm a guy who's constantly told how awesome he is by other people (Including a lot of women), but can't manage to get/keep a girlfriend.
It's something I realized this last night after listening to a good friend of mine (Who I used to date, but am not particularly interested in getting back with) talk about the new guy she's into. I came away feeling like shit, and I realized that, despite how amazing people think I am, I've yet to get a girlfriend who actually wants to be with me.
I mean, it might sound great hearing "You're awesome" from people on a daily basis, but that shit gets discouraging when you see everyone around you getting into relationships and realize that, sure, you're "awesome" according to a lot of people (Again, including women) but despite that, nobody wants to date you.
It makes me feel like shit at times.

I'd consider myself a switch.
I used to see myself as a pure Dom, but, over time, I've warmed up more and more to the idea of being a sub. I still enjoy the idea of dominating, but at the same time, I can entertain the idea of licking boots.

This is the kind of thing I hate.
Whenever somebody talks about how the anime industry is "dying," it always comes down to vilifying the fans. I mean, he did touch on the fact that it is a complex issue, but then he went on to talk about only one factor, as if it were the only factor, and I find that highly irresponsible.
Another thing to consider is that he's hearing that anime is "dying" from "the voice actors and top employees of every major anime company." These are people who have a vested interest in seeing anime do better than it currently is, and by saying that the anime industry is "dying," they could possibly drive revenues up due to people rallying to "save" the "dying" anime industry. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but that's something to consider.
I also take issue with his passive-aggressive jabs at otaku. Like it or not, they are the ones keeping anime alive, and the industry is going to cater to whoever's paying. The presenter has an entitled attitude about Western-oriented anime that really bothers me. At the end of the day, anime companies don't need to create any Western-oriented anime. At all. We're lucky we got the ones we have. People like the presenter need to learn that anime is a Japanese product, and them producing shows to appeal to anybody but their own demographics should not be taken for granted.

It's tough seeing a woman you love with another guy. He's probably walled himself off to prevent himself from being hurt further. I've had to do the same thing myself a few months ago. Depending on how hurt he feels versus how much he values spending time with you, however, he'll likely come back around, though it might take a long while.
Give it time, give him space. This is the kind of thing best left alone until he's ready.
