HELP [Open minded Otaku Only]?

Question

Before I even ask my question, if you dont like g**s, go away. Please.

Now. I'm a homotaku [I coined the term XP] I'm a L*****n but completely obsessed with anime/manga/asia..

See, I've also been single for 4 years [since I fully delved into the realm of otaku XD] I cant seem to find another homotaku.. It'd be easy to get into a relationship if I were straight [but sadly...]

So my question is.. To all you otaku:

How to you interact and start relationships with people who dont even know what anime is??

It's so awkward for me.. but I cant wait forever to find another girl who likes girls AND anime.

:(

Please help??

Answer 1

I don't think this is the right place to find Otaku because the people here obviously owned all those manga/anime stuff inside their hard drive (by downloading it for fre, not buying and collecting them).

Another things is most people here are born after 90's. Which means they're still in high school. Which means I don't think they are 'ready' for that type of relationship yet.

I'm not sure how can I help you with your problem. Just be yourself (cliche right?). Because after you get along with them, you can influenced them with your obsession. If they didn't like it, well, you either look for someone else or just be friend with them...

Part of the problem is that you need a good anime to start with. perhaps not a movie, but a series.

I was aware of anime back in the 60s with Astro Boy, but it never appealed to me then. I had run-in with it over the next 40 years, but i didn;t understand it to appreciate it.

It wasn't until "Princess Mononoke" came out that I decided to look into it (BTW, I disliked that movie).

I ran into an episode of "Maburaho" that challenged my thinging and i slowly turned towards it.

Availablitiy is the key, as it may take several series to find one that clicks.

You may want to consider going to an anime expo and seek out people that way

Answer 3

many people i know, friends in fact, criticize me for the fact that im an otaku.

The trick is to get someone you like to force them to be interested in anime. (but not YOUR favorite anime, because they would obviously criticize something about it, peeving you off.)

Get them to watch an underated well liked anime, possibly a romantic, if they watch soap opera's, something related to that also.

Manga's might be a bit much to start out with, and keep the episode's dubbed for a while, and if they take a liking to it, switch on over to subs

Otaku is not just a word, its a way of living.

As for finding a Homotaku (nice combonation btw lol) im not so sure, but hey, try finding someone who likes you for who you are FIRST, then ota-konverting them.

Answer 4

Im a straight guy so im not sure if i can offer the best advice on this but I'll try. I understand your dilemma and im sure your not the only one who has this problem or at least a similar issue. Theres not really a black and white answer for this kind of thing but I think an internet dating website (if your comfortable with that) is a good way to find

someone that you share alot in common with. Well I hope that helps.

Answer 5

I'm answering only to tell you that I think the term "homotaku" is rather awesome.

Because it is. ;-;

I wish I could help you with your problem... but I have a lot of trouble finding anyone with my interests, too. As in, I think they are all hiding from me.
