This troper and her family are Shippers on Deck for her brother and his best friend. Hell, even their entire class ships them! By the end of fifth grade, they admitted they like each other

This troper has two friends, both mostly unknown to each other, who FIERCELY ship him and his friend he's crushing on. I'm sometimes tempted to get them together myself...

DO IT FAGGOT

They've met now. Wouldn't work.

This troper did this with her best guy friend and her friend. She said that they made a cute couple and would constantly teases them. Cue much squeeing when she found out that they started dating. Now it's killed all shippers who wanted to see me and him get together.

My friends frequently did this to me and my GF for the three years we knew each other before we hooked up.

''Very'' unfortunately TruthInTelevision for me. My best friend was a NiceGuy, and while I had a slight crush on him, the fact that --literally-- our entire graduating class wanted us to get together was pretty much a tactical nuke to not only our friendship, but also any possibility of a romantic relationship. Lesson learned: If two people are perfect for each other, they will figure it out on their own. Forcing them on each other will not work.

Same Troper as above: On a happier note, there were two teachers at my middle school, and everyone jokingly suggested they get married. They did, and I sang at their wedding. Good times. :3

During the time this troper was crushing on a guy (as of this writing she isn't anymore and is instead trying to be friends, which is, in a word, hard), one of his friends REALLY seemed to ship us. Made particularly obvious when talking about my (past)crush on one occasion and he said "You guys are pretty much going out now! :-D" I've yet to tell him I got over him - I hope he isn't too gutted ...

There was a girl in my highschool who was the resident Emma. She shipped this (lesbian, then closeted) troper with their (mutual) straight close guy friend so hard even he started to believe it...until it led to the breakdown of our friendship. She also shipped two of our other friends which put alot of awkwardness into that friendship that did not previously exist. She ALSO shipped two girls in our class who are totally straight and never suspected I was the gay one. One of the girl's uber right wing conservative Christian parents heard the rumor and FREAKED out, refusing to believe their daughter was straight until she eventually got a boyfriend. Did I mention that this ShipperOnDeck actually wrote RealPeopleFic fanfiction about our highschool, aside from talking about her fave real-life ships all the time? Yeah, I think I defriended her on Facebook the moment we graduated.

On a happier note, there is ALOT of Shipping on Deck going on in our college's busy, thriving LGBT community. I have been shipped with several girls...by their ex-girlfriends. I guess if you are 10% of the population you have to watch who you alienate to keep your dating options open.

This troper's entire work unit at her old job was like this, unbeknownst to her. Essentially, she and the guy sitting next to her in their department had such great chemistry that whenever they weren't around, the conversation between the others would basically amount to "Why don't they just go out and get it over with!?" To be fair, they ''were'' right; Troper and the guy got married a few years later.

Sure, they're already going out, but my best friend and her boyfriend get shipped ''so damn hard'' by me. I personally make sure to be a MomentKiller as much as possible around them so that I know they'll have a more passionate make out later. That, and it's so much fun teasing them both at the same time. And now that he's proposed, I nominated myself to be their future kids' babysitter so I can screw the heads of two generations. They know they can't stop me.

Apparently, my cousin's ''whole church'' shipped him and his girlfriend and kept asking when they were going to get married already. Unfortunately, while they are still very much a loving couple, my cousin got put off by the constant nagging.

TruthInTelevision for this troper, as well. She's had a crush on one guy for several years, though she could never find the courage to admit it. Recently, however, he broke up with his girlfriend (who was considered TheScrappy by most of our mutual friends) and admitted that he liked me. However, neither of us is quite ready to date yet, for various reasons...not that it stops people (including practically the entire jazz band that we're both part of) from {{Shipping}} us and asking if we're dating yet.

Wait, do I know you? Quick: are you super tall?

TruthInTelevision for this troper in both directions. Firstly, he's a ShipperOnDeck for one of his best friends and was shipping her and her boyfriend ''before'' they started dating, gloating after she told the others of her boyfriend's confessing his love to her after originally denying those feelings to other people who asked. Needless to say, the resulting RelationshipUpgrade was glorious. Secondly, another one of his best friends is, apparently, a ShipperOnDeck for this troper and one of her friends.

This troper's entire Spanish class shipped two of our schools Spanish teachers, they were dubbed the "Spanish Power Couple". However, the relationship will never work out, it still made for some fun times in class.

This Troper and her best friend have been shipped to hell and back by nearly everyone we know.

This Troper and her Russian transfer student best friend who mysteriously disappeared and no one knew where he went or ever mentioned him again got shipped by a lot of people. I've never liked a guy like that, though I suppose they didn't know it.

In this female troper's junior year, there were two freshmen (a boy and a girl) who were seen by nearly everyone as ThoseTwoGuys. Nearly everyone thought they would get together at some point, despite their insisting that they were just friends. I shipped it, and I teased them about it on occasion. Then, the night of the school play that we were both performing in, the girl and I realized we had an attraction and I asked her out. We were together for a month, and then she broke up with me because... she realized she had feelings for the boy after all. And I learned something that day!

This troper's guy friend and his girlfriend were shipped to no end by classmates (even ''teachers'') for the two years they knew each other before they finally hooked up. Now there's an entire Facebook group dedicated to said couple. People have shipped this troper and said guy friend too, when they didn't think we were siblings, but not as often. Said guy friend also shipped me and my now ex-boyfriend before we started dating.

This troper is a big ShipperOnDeck within his circle of friends. He was once called a "devious romantic" for his tendancy to push and prod and cajole and manipulate (just a little bit!) the situations to get a ship to work out.

My male best friend and I both work at the same cafeteria on campus. One of the student managers ships us to no end. Despite the fact that we have both explained numerous times that our relationship is more familial, she will still ask if we are dating each other yet.

My first boyfriend and I started out as EveryoneCanSeeIt, except, of course, us. We lived down the hall from each other for about half a year before either of us started to even consider the possibility a romantic relationship with the other, but after we finally asked each other out a year later, it turned out that some of our mutual friends, also on the same hall, had been shipping us for that entire year. Thankfully, no one pushed us into it and let us work it out in our own time.

This troper's soul sister was this to me and my first (and most likely last) girlfriend. Back then, it was cute and amusing. These days, whenever she makes a crack about getting me together with someone, it goes straight into FunnyAneurysmMoment for me. She's just too kind for me to tell about it, though.

This troper was playing TheSims and IMing her best friend when troper mentioned that Sim-versions of troper and one of her guy friends were sharing a room. (Not in that way! ...sadly.) The friend's response? #QUOTE# "GOOD. #QUOTE# >.> #QUOTE# who said that? #QUOTE# wasn't me." #QUOTE# Granted, she ''was'' responsible for having Troper meet said guy friend in the first place, as she had the brilliant plan to set Troper up with him.

This troper's ''dad'', of all people, seems to be one for her and the younger brother of her best friend.

This troper's other best friend is one for the above "pairing", as well.

was this for her ex-guitar [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass teacher and her best friend. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and they haven't talked in a long time.

My friends love to be this trope whenever I'm crushing on anyone.

I have a list:

Me and my sister shipped my brother and his current girlfriend. Combined with EveryoneCanSeeIt.

This one's a bit embarassing, but my mother seems to do this with me and two of my female friends.

There are a few shippers for me and this girl I like. My sister, (possibly) the girl's sister, and my mother teased me about it. Sadly, this seems to be unrequited.

[[Tropers/{{Nwafc}}]] always gets shipped with one of his friends by her friends, and for 2 years, THE SCHOOL! I do like her, but i may give up... now if the girl's friend would give up!

My friends and I joke about shipping each other all the time. Yes, even ''slash'' shipping! ''Especially'' slash shipping!

I ship some friends of mine:

Alkis and Johanna are probably my {{Real Life}} {{OTP}}. Oh, the {{BST}}! Johanna's sister (and half the class) ship it too.

Michael and Efi are always fighting, but they're best friends since they were 5. Except that...

... Michael and Meropi would probably work out well too, let's not mention that Efi and Meropi seem to be very close too... ... {{OT3}}?

Greg and Kostas. What a {{Crack Pairing}}.

I briefly had a friend who shipped me with a cute girl I like. Unfortunately he went to another school and I now don't have anyone encouraging my stupid little crush.

Another friend of mine has a sister who ships me (jokingly) with her brother.]

This troper and her entire graduating class were shipping her and her crush. She mean's it got to the point where she had to deny she was having a relationship with him (Secretly, oh the irony). She and him are cute together too. EveryoneCanSeeIt so very very very very much.

This troper ships her friend and the various guys in her Transition To Work class. It's either the swimmer, wanna be child teacher, who totally allows her (and me) to kick his ass, or the super creative, tortured soul who she has the innate gift of making him shut up. Either one...or the other.

This troper, so very much. If her friends aren't dating anyone, she makes sure to ship said friends with someone. However, she's kind of averting this trope now because she feels that her shipping two of her friends might've been the reason they stopped being friends... Oops. That doesn't mean she's given up; she just doesn't share some of her shipping pairings to anyone now.

A friend of mine is apperently a shipper on deck for me and the guy I have a crush on. She came up to us one day and said "You two should go out." It was very odd timing, as I had just admitted to myself that I had a crush the day before.

I am often shipping my friends. Even if they're already going out, I ship them. One of my school's drama director's even ships people. (Although I doubt the couple he predicted is likely to occur). I also get shipped by my friends, whenever I have crushes. I currently have two crushes and am waiting for ShipToShipCombat to occur. Even a friend who doesn't know about my crush walked up to me while I was sitting next to him and said "Jeez, why don't you two just get married?!" She's a good friend.

This troper's male friend has openly admitted while on the subway (of all places) that he shipped me and a friend of mine, much to my amusement. His girlfriend is horrified though.

Oh yeah, and me myself ship ThoseTwoGuys in my class.

My entire high school class shipped my best friend with her supposed Platonic Life Partner. When they got together there was much rejoicing, and one, "Holy crap, congratulations!"

That's kind of epic, not gonna lie.

We all ship Min/Tempe. apart from Tempe, it seems.

Everyone for every couple in my high school--whether they're platonic, dating, or a match. I myself received this comment from my friend when my LoveInterest and I had just started going out: #QUOTE#"You two look so good together, it's annoying."

Things got fun when we were asked to write class prophecies for homework...

I (Tropers/JillBug) have a cousin who for reasons unknown desperately wants me to get together with one of his friends. He phones me and says in this annoying NudgeNudgeWinkWink voice "Hey, Jill, I've invited GARY over tonight. Wanna come over? I'll give you two LOADS of privacy." This has been going on for more than a year and I have no idea why he does it!! Unless he wants his friend to join the family, since I'm the only single adult woman in it now cousin's sister is married?

My entire group of friends thought that myself and another girl liked each other for the sole reason that we were friends who bitched at eachother all the time. They were constantly bringing it up to me and saying I should make a move, despite me saying we were JustFriends. They wouldn't deal with that and started bugging me constantly. it got to the point where I said "You know what? Fine. He's the reason it Will. Not. Work. I have aspergers and I do not have many emotions. Love is not one of the emotions I have. I will not love her, never will." A few minutes saying that yes, I was actually diagnosed by a professional neurologist and they never bugged me about it again. *knocks on wood*

I ship my best friends, first boyfriend. Everything, from call them love birds to daring them to make out in public (After she said to me she wouldn't do such a thing in public). All in good fun. I am geniunely happy for her and that's the end of that chapter.

If there's a boy I don't like, you can be sure some annoying classmates will try pairing me up with him, insisting it's only tension, asking why I don't like him, and so on. Mostly jokingly, but still... it's really annoying. Part of the reason I don't like the FoeYay trope.

This Troper's ''entire school'' is one. Which seems to be natural for most Filipinos. Except for me and my small circle of friends.

Haha, I think it is! Filipinos don't know it, but they're all secretly shippers deep down.

Did I mention the part that everyone ships everyone. Even ''themselves?'' And the teachers? Because I'm fairly sure I did. Lately, I've been feeling in a shipping mood. Stupid Valentines' Day!

This Troper's class recently went on a trip, and two of my friends had crushes on their "platonic guy friends". It was EveryoneCanSeeItto ridiculous extremes. The entire grade shipped them, whispered about them, and dared the guys to ask the girls out. Eventually, when one got asked out, it was the big buzz that night (even the teachers were like "about time"). My other friend got asked out last-minute, in the airport terminal, and people start SQUEALING when they got the news. It was quite funny, especially some of the weird looks we got from sane people.

I've always been a shipper, even before I knew what the term even meant. As a kid I ''loved'' pairing people up- and I haven't changed the slightest. At school? Ooohh, those two are laughing together, all sparkly-eyed- I'm sooo gonna ship them! Some random and foreign TV show I don't know? Damn, those two look good together. Shipping them! My friends? Dude, you should totally talk to him so he can ask him out! I've been rooting for both of you since, like, two years ago! Come on! Yeah, it's irritated quite a number of people.

This troper plays the trope for laughs; he's a Cargo ShipperOnDeck.

My dad ships me with this odious little pissant that I went to high school with. I personally ship my old roommate and one of my friends--said old roommate is currently in a rather unhealthy relationship with a guy who can ''control her with his eyes.'' It's a little scary and my friend is a much better match for her.

This troper's ''entire school'' is this for her and her StalkerWithACrush. TropesAreNotGood; I don't like him back, and the people constantly saying that I should go out with him, asking why don't I like him is ''annoying'' and near the top of a very long list of reasons why this troper hates her school.

I have it the same way, except that said guy isn't really a StalkerWithACrush and more... an annoying fanboy. After a discussion with him being a really obnoxious, arrogant Mac fanboy ("LOL WINDOWS SUCK BECAUSE THEY GET VIRUSES ALL THE TIME") I started yelling back at him that no, Macs aren't the best things in the universe, and no, Windows won't get viruses if you're just careful, have a good antivirus program and don't download all the shit you see in banner ads. However, he refused to get this and look past his love of Apple, which made me just avoid him for a while because of his annoying, smug "my opinion is right and your is wrong" personality, since I don't like being with people like that... and I tend to stay away from people that annoy me, since I can't handle being around them for too long. After my reaction, several people somehow seemed to think it meant I secretly liked him, which is not true at all. This has happened twice before: boy annoys me somehow, I snap and yell back, I avoid him after that, girls in class think "ooh, you secretly love him!" This is why I hate the BeligerentSexualTension trope.

This pageless troper has shipped her former best friend and her quite awkward beau since sixth grade, so about four years now. They are are only now taking a tentative step. This has led to much squeeing on this troper's part. But she'll play it cool, no worries here.

This troper and some of her friends are this for our classmates. At one dance, though, the ''entire grade'' was working together to get two friends together, by manipulating the situation in harmony. We're pretty sure it worked.

Unfortunately, somewhere along the road, it hit a wall, and she's in a relationship with another guy. Incidentally, this is the guy everyone had shipped with her for like two years before switching focus to the first guy. Go figure.

The trope goes both ways for this troper.

When I'm on the receiving end of a ShipperOnDeck's...mannerisms, such as my cabinmates from camp pairing me with the resident hyperactive SociallyAwkwardHero who has a "medical condition", or my entire drama class {{Shipping}} me with an emo {{Otaku}} with StoicSpectacles (who, admittedly, I was kind of crushing on), it usually ends with my friendship with that guy being RuinedForever.

The latter 'ship resulted in a doomed relationship, and, as predicted, my friendship with the boy in question was RuinedForever.

When ''I'' am the ShipperOnDeck, I avoid being obvious about it so I don't jinx it, but I ''do'' help one half out if they express interest in the other half. With one exception: I am totally obvious about shipping my fellow regulars at a certain FFN forum. They are none too amused, with the exception of my fellow ShipperOnDeck. Then, one by one, half of each of the main 'ships started confessing to crushes on the other half. It was ''great''.

This troper's little sister is on our school's AFJROTC drill team. So is the guy I had a crush on two years ago. I made the mistake of telling her as much a few months ago. Now she, her boyfriend, her best friend, the squad commander and half of the rest of drill team tease him about it all the time, and she, her boyfriend, and her best friend tease me about it, too. I only just found out about them teasing him, so now I finally have an answer as to why he always looks at me funny when I say hi to him. They just keep doing it, though, insisting that we'll go out just to shut them up, and then sparks will fly (actually, her boyfriend described it more like a really trippy dream sequence that combined pot and acid, but that's beside the point).

This troper owes his very existence to this trope. In college a woman shipped her roommate with her favorite cousin. She was discreet about it, but a few nudges in the right direction and now about thirty years later this troper's parents are {{happily married}} with four kids.

My best friends (let's call them K1, K2, C2, and S) and I all do this for each other. At one point, K2 was shipping our unborn children in a scheme for us to be technically related.

This Troper's current boyfriend and her were fiercely shipped by her little sister ever since they met.

This troper likes to ship people. I love nothing better than learning someone is in love! And on the reverse side, apparently one of my friends ships me and my crush... because we both wear trenchcoats. It's only slightly encouraging.

This troper's friend ships me and my love interest like crazy. She constantly asks me if I like him and wants to set us up, but being the {{tsundere}} I am, I won't admit it.

Now we have even more shippers that it could be moved into EveryoneCanSeeIt

This tropette does this often. She ships almost ''everyone'' in her school, likes both yaoi and yuri (non-sexual, just relationship wise), talks and squees about her favorite pairings in Hetalia, and enjoys it. Unfortunately, I get affected by this too. I'm constantly shipped with a guy I consider a friend, and nothing more. Whenever friends threaten to get me and him to go out, I just threat them with "Friendship Hugs," which is basically a sneak-attack hug. It's very effective at freaking people out.

This troper sits at a lunch table with several people. One of which is a boy that has a crush on me. I, however, feel that we are BetterAsFriends. At the aforementioned lunch table, another boy enjoys teasing us about our non-existent relationship, but the way he does it, it makes it seem a lot like he's shipping us. He never says it outright, but I can tell.

This troper's friends, so much. Following a recent RelationshipUpgrade, she had no less than FOUR SEPARATE PEOPLE come up to her and squee about how cute a couple she and her girlfriend were. Granted, said troper has joined in on the shipping for several friends as well, including one where Everyone Could See It.

This Troper is aware of a Shipper on Deck for himself and his crush. He is also amazed at the amount of squee he gets from the general school populace, maybe EveryOneCanSeeIt.

As ThatOneGuy I get this far too often. Throughout middle and high school, I have been shipped with no fewer than 5 girls. I have only actually liked one of them, and I didn't realize it until after the shipping stopped.

This (male) troper normally doesn't care about other people's relationships, but there is exactly [strikethrough one] (EDIT: make that two couples so far) that I've been almost-secretly rooting for. (The "almost" part comes from the time that the guy had to write the girl's initials and accidentally replaced her last initial with his. And even then I wasn't the first to point it out.) Also, on the other end of the example my mother does this with practically every female friend of mine she meets--I've never actually had a girlfriend so it's kind of a RunningGag. (Think Misty but inverted.) And all my friends ship me and this other girl and... well, I opened the TT for EveryoneCanSeeIt.

This troper, who is not exactly camp, is constantly shipped with his very male and very straight friend. Who ships us, you ask? '''Everyone.''' Half of the people who know us insist that we should be a couple. Personally, he's not exactly my type.

My friend ships me and her Platonic Life Partner together. Considering that she already talked to him about it before she did me, and that he never said whether or not he liked me, just that he wasn't ready for a relationship, and that I'm only willing to date someone via RelationshipUpgrade, I can see where she got it from. Oh, and she's not the only shipper on deck, so I guess EveryoneCanSeeIt?

I was this for these two friends of mine, who actually had crushes on each other but didn't have any courage to admit it. After joking about the two of them going out (which they denied), I ended up talking one of them into asking the other out. They're officially boyfriend and girlfriend now. Not that they remember my involvement.

Long story about this with this troper. When I started school at my new school, I played D&D with a group of kids. There I met this guy who I eventually got a crush on. The catch?This one girl already liked him. However, when everyone found out that I liked him, they shipped me with him. Justified, because the other girl had mental problems and was just generally disliked by everyone. But because of this I was shipped with him by all my friends. The ShipTeasing made them ship us more. We've been told many times by people that we should go out. Too bad he doesn't seem to want to..

''Every single one'' of my friends who knows one of my guy friends wants us to get together. They'll always say "But you have so much in common, you'd be so cuuute together!" or smile annoyingly if he and I are having a conversation about photography (we're both photography geeks). Once I went on about a mile walk with him down the valley to take some photos, and when we came back, all tired and windswept, everyone asked if we had had a good time making out in the park. Grrr.

When I was in middle school, my closest (at that time) friend was male. His dad and the school rumor mill shipped us, but we never got together. On a more successful note, This Troper shipped my current best friend with a friend of hers she took to the Valentine's Day Dance during said dance. By the end, they kissed and dated for over a year.

In This Tropette's youth group, it's sort of an inside joke that Delaney and Parker should hook up. Also, my father ships me with TWO of my female friends. (I'm BiTheWay.) The first is my best friend, and one I actually like, but I wouldn't tell him that for anything. The second has a girlfriend, and is one of my close friends. Dad said that if we ever get together, we have his blessing. Really, I think it's because she lives in Cincinnati, and Dad and I will take any excuse to go there.
