Ohhh, gee. I'm sorry, I realize that this is pretty much over, but it was too funny to pass up. First off, I'd just like to say that more girls are interested in anime than you guys think. Hell- I know more (beautiful, I might add) girls who enjoy anime IRL than I do guys. I am entirely serious. The thing is, we're not the girls who wear cat ears and as many anime items at once as is physically possible. We're normal people with normal interests, according to regular people. The "nerdiest" we seem is when referencing Harry Potter. So you just don't know. Now, I participated in robotics at my school this year, just like I did the last, and our teams were grouped oddly, some random people being added against our will. And please. JUST BECAUSE A GIRLAND A GUY BOTH ENJOY ANIME, DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE TWO OF THEM ARE SOULMATES. Guys. Do not stuff your phone numbers discretely into our backpacks. And when we "lose" it? Don't try again. I realize I'm getting a bit off topic, but I needed to get it out there. Anyway! Please, don't treat us like rare objects when you meet one of us. It's just weird. If you think what you're doing is creepy- ask your online friends! That's what we're here for! Just keep an eye out- you never know if that one pretty girl at school or work who acts like a 'normal' human being likes anime. My suggestion is to first just look out for someone with a nice personality that you can appreciate, and then ask if she's ever tried watching anime before. Don't make her feel defensive and like you are judging her for her answer! If she doesn't, it's not a huge loss at all, because at least you know that she's a decent human being. Try to introduce her to some anime you think she'll enjoy! Whether that be Clannad or AoT/SnK, try to get her to watch at least three episodes. Don't force it! And if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it. It's not the end of the world. And to be honest? If the one thing you look for in your SO is someone who likes anime, you're going to end up alone. Sorry to be rambling! I needed to straighten out my own thoughts, and in the process I made something a little jumbled. /)u(\
