Single Otakus?
« on: July 24, 2010, 10:06:21 pm »
Hey guys, I just wanted to post this because I wasn't really sure what else to do. I've been in an 8 month relationship with a friend I've known for ten years and I just don't know if I can take much more of his crap. He's got me confused all to heck and I'm pretty sure that he and I are done. Thing is though, I'm really interested in having that special person who will stand next to me. Someone who wants to spend time with me and definitely someone I can trust without having to force myself to trust them. I really would definitely like to meet a single male cosplayer. Having that person who shares that same interest and hobby would just rock my world.

But anyway, I want this thread to be sort of like a place where the single otakus can come to chat about their dream significant others. Maybe even give each other tips and advice about dating? Of course all the rules apply, everyone has to be nice to each other and absolutely no dirty talking.

But yeah, my poor little heart is broken and I'm sad. I just wanna find that one person I can have a happy and healthy relationship with. Sorry if I may have overstepped any bounderies but I did look through the rules and guidlines before posting this, if it comes down to it that this thread has to be locked then so be it, but I just thought it could be a constructive way to help people out. My intentions are nothing but good.

Same boat as you Christal. Been single for a bit now though I did have something going on a while back. However when I was in it I felt both of us should remain friends among other issues. Before then I been single for 5 years.

Just want someone who likes me for me and to be there for me as well as being a sweetheart without being drama ridden and not a leech.

As long as I been here I felt girls who come to NDK are girls who I'd rather date vs. girls who I seen at high school.

For the record I am a single  Otaku. However also for the record I just turned 51 today so I don't know how much of a relationship I could have with anyone.

I hope you feel better, Strify. I get where you're coming from, for I too have recently ended a relationship - one of the reasons being we didn't have all that much in common. I think it would be awesome to date a fellow otaku and construct things together~ I hope you find someone you can be yourself around and make you happy. Need a shoulder to cry on or someone to rant to, I'm always up for it =D

Lou - Happy birthday~ Hehe, we share the same b-day! >w<

Anyway, all that aside, I too wouldn't mind meeting other single otakus...Or other otakus in general. ^^; Unfortunately, due to my lack of relationship experience, I highly doubt that I'll be of any use when it comes to advice. Sorry. DX

Okay basically same boat. I have a bf and I've been with him for two years but I think it's only because I don't want to be alone and not have that special someone there to care for me and say they love me. Before him I was single for 16 years. He's the first relationship i've been in but really I just want to get it over with.

I wouldn't mind meeting a single otaku, boy or girl really. They have to be charismatic, nice, and somehow love shin megami tensei at least somewhat. I talk about boys all the time. like anime boys and video game boys. I always comment how hot they are and it's never to be offensive to anyone especially my significant other. I love to talk about the same thing over and over. So if you have those traits and can stand my blabbering. I would love to at least have a chat with you.

Isn't there a otaku/cosplay speed dating panel? That'd be fun.

No. And there won't ever be. We don't want to get involved with people's personal lives in any way. Which is why I'd also like to ask that you all please be sure to keep this thread about dating advice, etc. and not try to turn it into an actual dating thread. (We'll lock it down if it does turn into that. We really don't want to be involved with that kind of thing.)

Was wondering if a subject like this could work on the forum... but, dating advice for meeting that special otaku in our life(I'm definitely looking for that girl myself atm) would definitely be helpful.

I've pretty much been single all of my life; had a crush on a girl for five years (unrequited love ftl..), needless to say it didnt work out. Problem is, I dont have much confidence when it comes to females due to always being turned down, and I am a little afraid that if I do indeed meet someone, I'll scare them away with my interestest, which are anime and video games. What can I do to, to not be...well...mega awkward?

Be natural and look for someone with the same or similar interests.
It might be a little awkward putting yourself out there, but you'll
never find someone if you don't. ;]

OK, here's an interesting question:

There are a lot of "geek" dating sites & services. Since NDK isn't interested in that, what sites to you people go to?

If people come to the forums and find out "such & such" geek dating site has a lot of NDK people there, they may show up and the pool becomes larger.

I don't necessarily trust dating sites due to them wanting your money. Tried a geeky dating site, but in order to exchange messages and such you need a premium membership.

I am single but I am not looking for a guy, sorry guys...

Has anyone tried Craig's List, It can sometimes work, but you gotta go into with the realization that it has a low percentage rate of success.

....I really don't know what to say on this one about being single and finding mr right..people say I give good advice... but i tend to be more of a lone wolf when it comes to being lonely ect.. in response to the dating sites...If you wanna pay go right on ahead...its pretty much the only way to go down that avenue, because if its free there is something wrong with it...very wrong...that being said...just being at ndk is a great way to meet other people with an interest in anime ect... the problem we proud nerds get into sometime is finding that common ground in between "nerdism" and "reality" regardless of who the other person is, if its not anime or video games or whatever you need to be able to show interest and understand that not everyones world runs that way..a relationship is about GIVING and taking so even if its someone not in the otaku *shudders at that word* realm they need to understand that those are things you like to do in return for you understanding that they like to dance or play the drums or cycle or whatever...not for this reason specifically I have kept my life pretty multidimensional and it has benefitted me greatly when dealing with people older than myself or my peer group (That at 20.8 I finally FINALLY have learned to communicate with) It also creates a dimension of contacts that i feel is irreplaceable... moral of the story...live life in balance ;)

I would forego the Craigslist idea, that's way too sketchy. And as far as dating websites, also a waste of time in my opinion. I would say meet people at local events such as a meet-up, convention, tournament, etc. And as my personal advice, meet people with the intention of a friendship rather than a relationship.  What i do is ask a person to "hang out" rather than a "date", that way it seems more relaxed.  And always be confident (no cocky), nothing is more of a turn-off then someone with low self-esteem (not many people want to hear self loathing). Be proud of who you are and your interests. also don't be afraid of rejection, its only natural that some people won't like you, you just have to weed out the ones that do like you. My $.02

makes sense, Chhetry.

Okay, this is my question; How do I bring up my current living situation? Due to current economic troubles, I've had to move in to my mom's place until I can get a better job(hence going to school). Am I supposed to be honest about this, do I lie, do I tell half-truths, etc?
