Give up or keep hope alive

I've been here awhile and I still haven't connected with anyone besides on a friends type level. Some girls are try hards and say what I want to here. Then I'll get somebody that can't talk about anything other than anime. I'm here for common interests but there are other things besides anime and games. That's just the ice breaker. We know what each other like otherwise we wouldn't be here. It's just I want to talk about other things. I'm in art school, I have 3 dogs, I hate kids but I love my niece, I broke several bones before, I ride 4wheelers and I fish and stuff. Ask me about my life and not just what came on toonami the other night. That too much to ask?

Strange, I've talked top a lot of people here about plenty of stuff outside of anime. In fact anime doesn't often come up, we might mention what we saw recently but not comment on it much past that.

You probably just have some bad luck then. I made a new friend here on MO I chat with on Skype a lot, almost everyday now, lol. Distance makes it so that we probably won't ever meet up in person, so I gave up on the idea of trying to want to date her, but she's a pretty cool friend who'll chat whenever she has the chance.

I think you just need to "hear" someone's writer's voice and decide if that person is someone to chat with, whether you have romantic inclination or friendship in mind.

I have to go with a song lyric my friend wrote once in a metal band: Never back down, never give up, never back dooooooooown!

Yeah, Don't give up hope man. It never helps anybody. I met a person on these forums not even a week ago, And we've been talking on skype all day for a few of them hahaha. Though even if some things don't work out, You always have time to try again.

I hate to admit it but I've pretty much given up on finding a boyfriend. This site is the only one I still use to look for anything in the way of romantic relationship and I don't even come here much cuzz it just depresses me usually.
I know it's lazy and selfish to think that Mr.Right will just fall into my lap but holy shit am I tired of searching! TnT
Not to mention I always feel I'm too freaky for "normal" guys, or I'm not freaky enough for the freaky ones.
