That is the best answer of the whole thread.
Agreed. I just think that having a gf with that same interest would be a huge bonus, but then again, I've never had that, so dating is still an experiment for me, so I'm just trying to find out for myself what I like the best in a gf. The girl I'm with now has a better personality and similar interests, as opposed to my ex-gf, who was mainly just for looks...finding out what's most important for what you want in a real relationship is what dating's all about! (To me, at least.) So I'm just trying something I've never had before to see if I like it. Is that so wrong? :?
thats not wrong at all.. ;) ..though i see you already got a girl that has something that would interest any other anime guy. hehe.. anyways, yea, you would know a person better if you started from frienship then to dating..
from a girls point of view x2
my ex bf didn't like anime and sometimes took it to far in making fun of me for it.
from another girls point of view x3!

I have had experiences from both ends. My ex-bf loved anime and was into video games. In fact thats why we started dating, I was a huge quake player back in the day (maybe even a little obsessed, hehe) till my connection went to all hell! We ran into eachother on a server and he thought it was sweet that I was a girl gamer who was one of the top players in my clan and than he found out it was me. I liked a little anime at the time, but didn't have enough money to buy any and I didn't have cable at the time (thank gawd for satelite.. Yiippie)! He had quite a bit and let me watch it with him. Unforently, something went wrong, partly cause he started pulling the "i got you into all of it, its because of me that you like it" and in quake he started saying how he was always better than me and ill never be as good as him (even though it was my ping and i eventually had to stop playing because of it). So needless to say that after almost two yrs that ended.

Now the guy im currently seeing is completely opposite in me, besides the fact that we both love cars and both like to work on our cars. When he found I liked anime he kept calling me a kiddie and grow up that "that shit is for kids" but i got him to watch part of Ruroni Kenshin with me and I shut it off in a middle of an episode and before he thought about what he said he's like what did you turn it off for? So I got him a little intrested in it. It still suxors though 'cause from time to time he still gives me crap about liking anime and drawing anime characters. I can never talk to him about it, but atleast after some talking to he accepts it.

I also find it challenging to find a guy who accepts a girl who likes anime, cars, and uses her brain. Talking to a bunch of guys who said they "need the "girlie" in their life," sometimes I feel I'll never find anyone because i won't be that "girlie" they want because I am always going to be myself. I get frustrated when a guy is attracted to me for my looks, but as soon as I become comfortable enough to be myself (Emilie, you understand what i mean ;) ) they split and don't say a word. Gets old way fast!

Needless to say, it would be a way huge bonus to date someone who is intrested in anime... I miss that part of the ex! sorries for the bible, started venting! ^_~

It's times when significant others say stuff like that, that it's time to strangle them with the controller cord and/or crush their skull with an X-Box. :twisted:

hell ya erin i do understand...i'm totall not girlie, i'm the one that was always "one of the guys" considering 90% of my friends are guys, which is nice cuz i don't have to listen to tons of bitching, and my other girl friends are kinda like me, not quite so girly, but still a tad girly and sorry to say lacking common sense at times, (minus you erin ^_~)
so it's good that i have those guy friends to watch anime with cuz a couple of them are into it but i wouldn't mind having a bf that was it would be a nice bonus. my ex didn't like it said the same thing has your current bf ninnea, kiddie stuff if he only knew

exactly emilie! "i'm the one that was always "one of the guys""... right on! They think you're fun to hang out with, but let's not date her no, cause that would be bad!! hehe. But i agree with you completely... at least we are not alone! we will stick together and the guys better beware! muahahaha! na just joshin'! I think my favorite times are when they come to talk to you cause they think your "hot" and than they find out that your not the ditz they thought you were and kinda move away and are trying to say something to get away without looking obvious, now I just don't say anything to them or walk away, save em the trouble! haha I laugh at it now cause they think they being all sneaky! HA I'M ON TO YA!

Yes, a bf who liked anime would be nice... ^_~

first thing, bazanime, thats a SICK profile pic...i like it but be caught dead if my folks saw me looking at that pic on this website...nothing against you, just a random side comment to start off...

girls that like anime...not generalizing, but most girls that like anime in my parts are weirdos. be cool if i can find a normal one that does...anime is certainly a significant part of my life...sadly enough. but going out with someone purely because of a common liking for anime? thats a bit shallow, there should be more reasons for why you're going out with the guy/girl. one thing i notice in the slew of girls on my shitlist: they don't like anime...hmm. think i need to make additions in my standards.

personally every guy I've dated has actually while I read my manga sat there and read it with me but I like more things then just anime and I've dated a guy who probably wouldn't watch anime, but we always got along great and never got into a fight. So no anime shouldn't be the bond but if you both like it or if you commit yourself to do something the other one likes I think its nice and a very heartful sacrifice.

Anime should not decide on love,that is you and your partners decision,because if you let something that is not even real take over your life then well that wouldnt be very good...
