| how long should i wait before mentioning i enjoy watching anime? dont want to increase chances of her Potentially buck off, even before mention of my lame life makes her leg it... edit: lol, this is hypothetical. neither was i on a date nor do i care if she likes anime or not. still find most anime weird or cringe but am not some weird lil obsessed weeb so it's a pointless little thing in conversation or as a relationship matter. I was just curious what kind of people dwell here. |

| Let me get this straight. You're almost in a phase. In the beginning of a relationship with a girl you like. She doesn't know you watch anime. You wonder what is the perfect timing to tell her that you watch anime.  |
 |
| Hide it, she'll never accept you unless she also watches anime |
 |
| right off the bat preferably. when discussing hobbies just bring it up as something you like. if a person doesn't like your hobbies as well or at the very least doesn't tolerate em, then what's the point? |
 |
| Five years back, I would have said never, but anime is more acceptable now, so maybe one hour in? Though keep in mind, anime is still considered a weirdo's favourite medium and only certain anime are acceptable. So just pretend to be a Demon Slayer normie and things should be fine. Though if she's a good person, you shouldn't have any problems, even if you tell her that you're a hardcore. Just don't go too deep and get her into Monogatari. |
 |
| Judging from your behavior here on the forum you have much bigger problems than watching anime. You should worry about that instead of anime. |

Skimt said: Anime is not normally brought up in conversation because it's not an interest that consumes me. I'll briefly bring up rock climbing and programming, and only if she mentions entertainment and it fits the conversation will I slip in anime and computer games. If she doesn't delve deeper I'll attune myself to the conversation again. There was a woman once who was easily one of the most attractive women I've ever met, who had more or less ignored my existence for about a year, until one day, two things happened: 1. She had recently come across my CV and seen some of my work, and 2.) I walked in for the first time having made an effort with my appearance. Her sudden interest in me, along with her torrent of flattery and one-sided conversation about her favorite TV show caught me off guard. I had no idea what to do with what she passed my way, because there's no proper way to respond to flattery, and when you don't have an interest in what they're watching you just sit there nodding and smiling because you don't want to be rude. I was not turned off by the person, but by what was being said or how it was delivered. So, I had a mini-panic attack and excused myself, pretending that I had to go. My suggestion is to keep it on the downlow until the opportunity present itself, and remember to moderate yourself. You're trying to have a dialogue, not convert the infidel. yeah, well said. prolly how id go about it more or less. its not that i find it troublesome or smnt i was just more so interested in what folks here would say |

| I'd try and hide it since from previous experiences since when I mention it my dates tend to quiz me about it. Like those people who's quiz you if you wear a band t-shirt. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| i hid the fact that i watch anime from my friends. very negative connotations, but more ppl watch it these days and if you go on about the mainstream shit you'd prolly get away with it ngl. |
caprisan said: I'd try and hide it since from previous experiences since when I mention it my dates tend to quiz me about it. Like those people who's quiz you if you wear a band t-shirt. Some things are understandable to be hidden from a potential partner of your liking. for example: if one of your family member has some bad reputation. If you did something bad like stealing, bribe, the usual stuff, but I see it unfair to hide the truth of your partner that you watch anime. Or you like video games. Yeah, there are girls who hate video games, too. My point is: you rule. The old known saying: "my way or the highway". No one accepts me for what I am? Fuck them. It's a risky approach. Only few willingly and responsible for their own actions and willing to die on the hill for what they believe in. My wife isn't into anime, but she's at season 3 of Netflix Castlevania. I only gave her a push for season 1, the rest of S2 and S3 she continued without me knowing she did. There is hope she will watch some romance, drama anime I picked. I started Death Note, and she barely got through first episode. I talked about this in a thread of mine. |

got amnesia m8? yeah, exactly, i hate that it ruins my fav show. would've been perfect without it |

|
| Idk, you naturally let it come up I guess? I don't see how it would be a deal breaker, unless you're already walking red flag. |
 |
| Bring it up casually in conversation, before any date begins. |
 |
| I tell 'em day 1 baby!!!!!! They usually guess that by the Asuka keychain and car decal sticker. Pretty much all the girls I have dated back in college have either not cared or been into Anime themselves, not that I watched all that much back then anyway. Fr tho bro, a date who judges you based on a harmless hobby like Anime is not the kind of gal you want to be with. |
-insert NGE meme here- |
| Topic probably wouldn't even easily come up. Even with people who like anime I rarely talk about anime. |

| I tell them straight up, it’s one of my hobbies and if it doesn’t mesh with them then it’s ok? If it’s a big deal to them then that’s when I’d probs realize this person isn’t for me lol |
| desu desu binches |
| I would have never hide it lmao it would be annoying to hide it later |
 |
| I've never hidden it. My fiance likes anime as well and knew that I was a big weeb before we started dating. Just bring it up casually while you're talking about hobbies. I would hate to hide something that I like just to please someone. |
 |
| Never. If they ask me for my hobbies, I say I only like working out, hunting, and working on the car that I don't even have. Anything else would be a no-no and must be kept secret at all cost! |
| I say bring it up right away. Depending on how she reacts, that's probably a microcosm of what your relationship will be like. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| Have them watch Utena. It’s as simple as that. |
 |
| this is an excellent question! For me it depends on the guy! Most of them have seen like One-Piece or Dragon Ball, but ya I'm a casual viewer in general & ppl are still weird about anime (for reasons I can understand, but dont care about) |
| After two first dates I would either shoot myself or my date...I still haven't decided. |
 |
| Just after they've past the point of no return during our first passionate session of sweet love making. |
 |
| It's not usually something that I bring up right away, even with just friends. So whenever it comes up in conversation I suppose. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| You do not have to tell anything, unless anime makes up for your whole personality, in which case it will not last anyway... |
| Honestly before you start dating I'm sure they won't think much of it. |
| Weeb, gamer, cosplayer, and huge Kingdom Hearts fan My Candies:       |
| Because I'm not a pussy, I don't treat my weeb interests like some deep dark secret that could either cause a relationship to fail or for it to be a deterrent for someone to date me. And if it does have that effect on someone, then I'll simply move on with my life and leave that person to their toxicity towards anime and any other hobbies and interests that they dislike. |
 |
| Don't ever actually mention it, just show up with an anime shirt to the date. |
 |
Mirai said: Don't ever actually mention it, just show up with an anime shirt to the date. I like this solution. I don't really own any anime shirts but I'd totally be up for that as well. Maybe I should get some I'd tell it right away when talking about hobbies. No need to hide lol |
 |
| edit: lol, this is hypothetical. neither was i on a date nor do i care if she likes anime or not. still find most anime weird or cringe but am not some weird lil obsessed weeb so it's a pointless little thing in conversation or as a relationship matter. I was just curious what kind of people dwell here. |
