With all this talk about otaku boys and girls, and why a girl could choose an otaku... well i refer you to HOT GIMMICK, a totally dramatic shojo manga. The main character's sister is this popular girl, but she chooses her sister's friend, an otaku, because he shows her he really cares, unlike the other guys she's been dating who are "normal." So cute girls can choose otaku guys, but it really just depends on the person. I'm interested in anime and manga, not to the point that i know every little detail about the author and voice actors, but i enjoy the stories. If i found a cute guy who could be a MAN, that's all i'd really need. But i would be all the happier if he was interested in anime and manga so we'd have something interesting to talk about.

I read through this forum and decided it was so interesting I wanted to reply 🙂

As a guy who loves anime/manga/video games I can understand how others feel frustrated over how hard it is to find someone who is compatible with your interests. I know, I have been there myself. But this isn't saying that it is not entirely impossible. For those who have said it is hard or damn near impossible to find an anime loving couple I can only assume you have never attended an anime convention 🤣 . There are loads of couples there. If you haven't been to one and really do love the anime world I would recommend going to one. It's loads of fun and, who knows, you might find someone who would make an ideal bf/gf. Quite a few people have found love at cons.

As for me... I love my anime, manga, etc.and that will never change. It is too large a part of my life and no person could ever make me let it go. Most everyone who gets to know me even a little becomes aware of this fairly quickly. Even so there have been women who were interested in me, and only two who were into anime (not as much as me, but that's ok). I have been confessed to in anime style (girl asks me to meet her behind school and confesses with a letter in hand), and my last ex hooked up with me at an anime convention I took her to. I am usually not actively looking for a relationship, but women who ask me out first really pull at my heart strings.

Sadly the relationships did not last too long because of time issues due to college and what not, but the point remains. There are women who do share the same interests and are looking for someone who can understand and participate in those interests. Where and when they can be found I don't know, but they are out there. Maybe try joining an anime club or frequenting an anime store if there is one around. All I can say is you might find the person you are looking for in the least likely of places because even though for some of us anime is more than just a hobby, we are still normal people who do normal things (unless they are shut-ins of course 😀 )

True, true.

There was this really cute girl in my programming class (her dream job is game programmer <3 <3 <3) who liked anime but she was already going out with this fat skater. >___<

Ladies, why you gotta be like that? Fat dudes are teh lame.

I'd love to date an otaku guy (as long as he's hot and a good person). I've never dated before, and it'd be nice to date someone with a similar interest as mine.

I can say the same for the girl >=(

I don't even know if I should reply to this, considering I'm old enough to be parent to some of you... 🤢 I'm probably looking at this from a bit different perspective, so take it for what it's worth.

I would have no problem dating a "normal otaku" guy - in fact it would be cool to share that interest. Doing stuff just for fun, because you enjoy it, & not caring if other people think it's silly/geeky/etc. is a very attractive trait, to me. HOWEVER it would annoy me no end to be around someone who let his enthusiasm for anme/manga/games/whatever get in the way of Real Life.

Examples: Guy does his share of stuff around the house & then spends the rest of the day playing games, no problem. Guy plays games all day & DOESN'T get his share of stuff done, BIG problem. Guy pays bills etc. and uses his extra money to buy Gundam figures or whatever, no problem. Guy can't pay his bills because he's already spent all his money on Gundam figures, BIG problem. You get the idea. 🤣

Sadly for me, there aren't many otaku-ish guys in my age range, at least not that I've seen around here.

I've had a crush on a boy /for about 3 years now.../ who's slightly otakuish. He likes the occasional manga or video game. So I guess he's more of an 'anime fan' than an 'otaku', but meh. Still too afraid to tell him how I feel since he's my best friend...

But for me, it does not matter much what a guy likes, just that I like him. I can't possibly imagine myself dating somebody that I don't like, especially not one I don't even know well. At least talk to the girl a bit before deciding you like her!

But yeah, otaku or not, doesn't matter to me. Someone who's not a jerk [at least, not to me], and someone who actually likes me. Sense of humor's a plus.

Definitely! Sharing some interests is good too, so you can do things together, but it you don't have to share ALL your interests - as long as the other person's interests aren't something that you absolutely can't stand. 😃 (Example would be - I'm vegetarian, it would be realllllly difficult for me to spend much time with someone whose favorite hobby was hunting.)

No, no, like I said, I already have a boy that I like, even if I'm afraid to tell him that I like him. ^^;;

@TofuQueen - Yeah, I don't think I'd be able to date someone who's obsessed with cars. Not sure why, I just really can't stand people that are all "my car this" and "my car that". Plus I'd get soo lost in the terminology -

@TofuQueen - great example hahaha
@ kitty7krazy - yeah I know im just a big flirt =) even if I am an otaku im not shy about it (at home at least) nor am I shy about talking to girls irl.
