Despite suffering from social rejection in her younger years, she was able to form friends despite many of these "friends" & "gal-pals" were paid by her dad. In retrospect, her parents are the true neglectful degenerates in Chris's life. Even though changing their ways from authoritative parenting to neglectful parenting would help become better parents. Instead the parenting style turned the growth in a different direction. | Despite suffering from social rejection in her younger years, she was able to form friends despite many of these "friends" & "gal-pals" were paid by her dad.

As a socially awkward autistic man, Chris struggled with loneliness in her pre-transition days and often expressed her desire for a female companion. Though she had a female friend group whom she dubbed her "gal pals", the relationship was mostly parasocial in nature and did not have much contact outside of school other than Chris's 18th birthday party. | As a socially awkward autistic man, Chris struggled with loneliness in her pre-transition days and often expressed her desire for a female companion.

By 2003, Chris was a student at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she still presented as male. On her 21st birthday in February of that year, she launched her search for a "boyfriend-free girl" in a saga that Chris would dub the "Love Quest". However, this quest was hindered by what she referred to as the [[Infinitely High Boyfriend Factor]]: the extreme likelihood that any woman to whom she spoke would already have a boyfriend. Another similar term coined by Chris is [[noviophobia]], which referred to her fear of a woman she talked to already having a boyfriend. | By 2003, Chris was a student at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she still presented as male.

After the turn of the new year, Chris changed his strategy, opting to hang copies of Sonichu's News Dash around campus. This publication was a newsletter by Chris containing poetry and other information relating to her Sonichu comic. The newsletter also contained a personal advertisement for Chris, not unlike the Attraction Sign. The first issue of Sonichu's News Dash was printed in January 2004, but by February, Mary Lee Walsh put an end to this as well. It was also around this time that Chris opened an account on the dating site Match.com in order to aid in her Love Quest. | After the turn of the new year, Chris changed his strategy, opting to hang copies of Sonichu's News Dash around campus.

In the summer of 2004, Chris tried her luck at finding a boyfriend-free girl using the Attraction Sign, this time at the Charlottesville Fashion Square shopping mall. This did not yield any results, leading to Chris devising a new plan, which she called the "Red String of Fate". This tactic would entail a paper heart attached to a string which Chris would throw at women, and when they would pick it up, she would "reel them in". Chris began using this strategy on August 1, though the string was confiscated by a mall security guard on August 5, leading to her ditching the idea. Chris would allegedly go on to continue soliciting with the Attraction Sign, but was stopped by police officers whom she derisively referred to as "jerkops". | In the summer of 2004, Chris once again tried her luck at finding a boyfriend-free girl using the Attraction Sign, this time at the Charlottesville Fashion Square shopping mall.

Around this time, Chris met a woman named Megan Schroeder at a video game store. The two bonded over their mutual passion for trading card games and struck up a friendship. However, despite Megan making it clear that she did not want a romantic relationship with Chris, Chris kept on making advances on Megan, further straining their friendship. Things came to a head in 2007 when Chris uploaded a pornographic drawing of herself and Megan online, horrifying her. Megan cut off contact with Chris in April 2008. | Around this time, Chris met a woman named Megan Schroeder at a video game store.

She even wrote about her desire for a boyfriend-free girl in a Christmas card to her father, which he read aloud on film. After the gift opening, Chris recorded another video, expressing her dismay about not receiving a girlfriend for Christmas. | ||
After the new year, Chris continued his usual strategy of looking for a girlfriend at Charlottesville Fashion Square, though he had switched from using signs to simply pacing around the mall. She caught the attention of Anna McLerran, a mall employee whom Chris saw as a potential girlfriend until she revealed that she was a lesbian. A blog post was written by Anna about the encounter on February 5, referring to Chris as the "Crazy Pacer". | After the new year, Chris continued his usual strategy of looking for a girlfriend at Charlottesville Fashion Square, though he had switched from using signs to simply pacing around the mall.

Starting in late 2007, after Chris became an internet sensation and an article about her was created on the satire website Encyclopedia Dramatica, Chris received a great deal of attention from Internet trolls pretending to be single women, the most notorious of which included Blanca Weiss, Vivian Gee, and Julie Milvana. This sort of trolling would continue throughout the "Classic Chris" era, which lasted until her father's death in 2011. | Starting in late 2007, after Chris became an internet sensation and an article about her was created on the satire website Encyclopedia Dramatica, Chris received a great deal of attention from Internet trolls pretending to be single women, the most notorious of which included Blanca Weiss, Vivian Gee, and Julie Milvana.

Barring a brief stint in 2009 and 2010 in which Chris was seen around Charlottesville soliciting a girlfriend as she had done in the early 2000s, her Love Quest would mainly move online, where she would enter "relationships" with trolls posing as women with the intent of using her for their own entertainment.

In 2017, by which time Christine had transitioned and began presenting as female, a group of internet trolls known as the Idea Guys began role playing as Chris's imaginary friends whom she believed existed in different dimensions. By early 2018, the Idea Guys had psychologically manipulated her into believing she is in a [[Polyamory|polyamorous]] marriage with multiple fictional characters, putting an end to the Love Quest after 15 years. | In 2017, by which time Christine had transitioned and began presenting as female, a group of internet trolls known as the Idea Guys began role playing as Chris's imaginary friends whom she believed existed in different dimensions.
