The "looking for a relationship" thread

I contemplated typing here, but I think I'll give it a try and see what happens. My name is Ciara and I am 20 years old. I am currently studying art and design with an emphasis in ceramic design. My username is meant to reflect my artistic style and personality. I have a weakness for all that is cute, but at the same time I also enjoy horror. People will flip through my drawing books and see several chibi pictures followed by some designs of bizarre horrific creatures and become thoroughly confused. I dated a guy online before, although I guess we never were sure whether to consider it real dating or not since we were in different states. I guess there's nothing special about the way we broke it off. We both just agreed we should. I've had a few guys admit they liked me or were interested in me, however I have never felt a connection with anyone else since the guy I met online, so I haven't dated anyone else. I find that I am very picky with men and I don't like to settle for something I don't think will work out. I'm very open and honest with people if I think something isn't working. I'm not just interested in dating though. I love meeting new people and making friends. Although I know a lot of people who like anime, it's rare I find anyone to discuss anime with. My closer friends aren't interested in anime like I am. Personality: I'm a little bit shy at first, but I love to talk. I'm told I'm funny and nice although I guess I can get a bit sarcastic at times. Most have told me I'm easy to talk to and a good listener. I can get a bit hyper at times which people will either like or find annoying. Description: I'm 5'11" with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. I'm also fairly skinny. What I'm looking for in a guy: I'm pretty independent so I don't seem to do too well with guys who are very clingy or show a lot of affection (Example: Hugging me every 2 minutes). I'm not opposed to affection, I just want it to be special. I feel like when you get hugged all the time, the act itself looses its meaning. I want a guy who isn't afraid to be honest with me. I'm an artist, critique is part of my daily routine. Compliments are nice, but I don't need to be right or beautiful all the time. I may not always seem like I'm grateful to get personal critique, but I really do appreciate the honesty. I'm not religious despite half my family being Catholic and the other half being Christian. I would like to have a guy who doesn't push his beliefs onto me and accepts me for who I am. I realize religion can be a touchy subject with people so I may as well get this out in the open now. I also do not have a car... I would prefer someone nearby as I don't do too well with long distance relationships. Favorite Music: I don't really have a favorite. I'm pretty open to just about anything. I'm not a huge fan of country, rap, or dubstep though. Favorite Anime/Manga: Madoka Magica, Full Metal Panic, Naruto, School Rumble, Azumanga Dioh (It's so hard to pick just one and I think my favorites list is changing almost all the time...) Like: Spending time with my friends, family (I have some minor issues with some members of my family, but I still love them), animals, art (I like a lot of different media), video games, being outdoors (I like a lot of things... I guess I'll just add more as they come to me). Videogames: I have a Game Cube and a PS3. I used to have a PS2, but it broke some time back. I'm not the biggest gamer, but I do still enjoy gaming. I love the Legend of Zelda series, Little Big Planet, Assassin's Creed, Sonic, and Soul Calibur. I'm a bit tired at the moment so I'm not sure what else to add. I'll come back and edit things as they come to me. In the mean time, feel free to send me a message if you would like to chat.

Since I started this, I'm curious how many people actually found somebody. Please post any positive stories if you like, even if you're not together anymore! Would definitely give hope to all on here!

I'm 23 y/o not looking for commitment since I probably live halfway around the world and just came from a very abusive and toxic relationship. I'm a software engineer who likes playing a lot, and comedy/horror/gore/R-18 anime.I'm open to hentai talk, av talk and all that but I'm pretty much against personal sexual harassment. I need people to talk to and maybe friends. I'm also into cosplay. Trying to make everything on my own now. I'm independent and full of pride. I'm weird and antisocial. To top that off, I'm overweight and definitely have low self-esteem so I don't really appreciate compliments. I'm a very negative person. But if you can please bear with me. I doubt anyone will still message me after reading this 'doh.

I know Jineko, she is honestly a great person with a big heart, and definitely not overweight at all. Hell, if I didn't live halfway around the world, I'd date her :p

^overweight is not equal to obese to get things straight my height is 4'9 and I don't even want to state my weight(I'm trying to lose some pounds as my clothes won't fit anymore TAT). Also, asian standard I'm FAT, people even call me whaleshark, godzilla, kaiju. I don't mind being a poser of myself LOL. Atleast someone's posing as me, even though that poser is just myself. I don't do drugs. I'm just weird this way. @Anna wanna build a snowman? :D

Jineko, I know the difference between the two and you're not. And yes!
