How is it like to date an Otaku ?

basically its hard to date an Otaku, unless you're both Otakus i guess.

Holy fuck.

As a big otaku myself, I can only tell for myself I have dated some otakus before. Since I focus a lot on anime, manga, cosplay and roleplay I find dating an otaku having the same interest, being really fun. We did things like cosplay together, cmvs, skits, shoots and so on. Roleplay online from anime, manga series and watching lots of anime together. So if you find someone with the same interest it can be a fun time. I'm not into playing games, but I had a girl that did play a lot and that was fun enough to watch from time to time too. So I think everything depends on the people. But I could never have a partner that wasn't an otaku in some way.

At the end of the day, both being otaku is an "in" as far as having common interest as well as something to enjoy together, but there's still a matter of having a deeper connection. What are both partners long term goals and plans, how your personalities mesh, are there any social or religious dynamics to consider in the relationship, etc. Both parties being otaku is a good starting point imo, but it won't mean much if you can't find much other common ground to build a relationship upon.

Lots of fetishes and expecting you to finish every anime they recommend within 24 hours. "Did you enjoy the anime ____?" " ^^; I havent got around to starting it yet" " -.- You should watch it, it's really good"

From My perspective (otaku/weeb) ...and having my partner for last 8 years... and my partner NOT beeing a anime fan. *thinks* I think if otaku is given enough time to: watch anime, play they games, talk to other otaku ... All will be fine. I mean even beeing more introvert I do look for human contact now end then... Is nice to watch amazing anime show...finish it up ..trun your face to somone that was reeding amazing book and talk to each other etc. Only hard time I had ... when I didn't had time for 'myself' ...and that was making me angry.... in the end angry at her ... because she was reason I couldn't enjoy myself fully ... but lots of TALK .. some 'MY TIME' sorted...and Otaku have good time... I treat Anime/music etc as RESET from all bad stuff that happen in life... If I can't reset my RAM *gigles* I get moody. So if You & Her or He ... like each other, have common interest (even if not anime etc.) It can definetly worke out. My advice, give other person breathing space. I love her, but love myself to [that ego of mine]. The End
