So does anyone on here actually use the "dating" aspect?

As the title states, Who actually uses the "dating" ratio based on anime and conventions? Does it work, I don't think similar anime means compatible (my opinion). Can you attest to it's validity? What are some stories, some conversations, and how the hell do you try to "Date" via computer, especially without looking creepy when first messaging someone. I'm not too keen on the idea of "hey friend me" "Hello my name ________ nice to meet you". They are simple but none of them imply to actually try getting to know someone. I guess I'm just in a ranting mood and bored, so (Who, What, When, How, Why) I don't know get creative with responses. I suppose the biggest question would be how do you try and even "date" get to know or just talk to someone, when another 100+ guys and or girls are talking to the same person doing the exact same thing?

The system needs major work. So does the site in general though. Best bet would be post around and get to know people on the forum

^ Agreed. If I'm positive the person is right, I'm willing to move. However, life isn't that easy and financial issues tend to slap people in the face. But I will do whatever I can to visit as often as I can, and save up.

I would move long distance to see somebody if that was necessary as long as I knew they were in that with me. It may take me awhile but I would get the funds up. Besides that I like to go around areas so getting adjusted to a new place would be fine as long as it has certain things.
