Man this seems to happen so often Im starting to honestly wonder if its a meme

Eh but if its true you have 3 options
1. Lie to her and watch anime behind her back
2. Give up on anime because she worth it
3. Give up on her and find a girl who doesn't try and change who you are

I'd say you got quite far. You had a good run. When I try talk to girls they look in disgust or pretend they're busy with something.

Continue with anime and be a dick to her everytime you see her. Find a girl who doesn't want to change you.

Avoid her like the plague. Honestly, if she's trying to control you before you even start dating, how bad is she going to be when you're actually in a relationship? And the fact that you were willing to compromise, when you had no need to, and she wasn't says a lot.

If you stop watching anime for this girl not only is she going to lose respect for you, but you are going to lose respect for yourself. She clearly wants to control you and this is just a big test.

You need to have an abundance mindset. You can just find another girl that doesn't care of better yet is into anime. I've been blessed in the sense that I've dated women who are more Henri anime than me. But, some won't be.

Why change for some girl when you can find someone who likes you for who you are?

If she's making you stop watching anime to even consider a relationship, she probably doesn't like you enough for anything lasting to happen. You can always watch anime without telling everyone about it if you are really interested in this person.

She is definitely not worth it. Anyone who tries to change who you are is a shitty person. Not only that, but you wouldn't be a good match anyway if she hates anime so much that she'd make you stop. You'll regret it later.

If that's true she might just want to play with you like a toy. It's not rare for girls your age.

I went on a date with a girl once and we started talking about avatar the last airbender and after a few minutes she started disrepsecting azula calling her an evil bitch etc and I couldn't stand it. I told her azula was the real winner of the agni kai and the true fire lord and she called azula a cheater. like bitch the fuck she's a god. i told her to fuck off. thank god i didn't start dating her. imagine if i had married an azula hater.

She's trying to change you. Ask first if the change is something you want, or which would make you a better person. If the answer is no, be true to yourself. Maybe she's willing to talk about it or go out with you anyway, and maybe not.

It's also possible she's trying to get you to prove you want her enough to give up something just because she asked you to, and it isn't about anime per se. I'd steer clear of any girl who would play that game.

If i were you i would give up on her, a person who doesn't respect your personal tastes doesn't deserve your time.
If trying to make her understand that doesn't help and you really stop watching anime then you're an idiot.

I'm surprised that no one has asked why she told you to stop watching anime. So is there a specific reason as to why?

After all, the reason should definitely influence your decisions.

Better live alone than live with somebody who tries to change who you are and separate you from something that gives you pleasure in life. From experience, other people who try to change you are RARELY worth it. If you find something that makes you happy you need to prioritize keeping it (unless it is unethical). Unlike another person, you are in complete control of when you decide it leaves your life.

If the other person is willing to introduce you to an alternative while accepting the weening process it shows that person is actually willing to invest in you and cares about you. In this situation it is up to you to determine whether what this person is offering is enough to sacrifice what you know makes you happy.

From what you've described, OP, you do NOT want to be with this person, and this person does not deserve you.

But I'm never against anyone trying to introduce anime and never against anyone chasing their love.
You made this thread and replied almost each and every comment here, so I would assume you've put some effort in for this girl.

I'm talking about genre preferences.
I mean: is it drama? or maybe action?
Does she like it when it tear-inducing or when it pumps her adrenaline instead?

. That's not an excuse.
You need to work on your inner game. You need to start loving yourself and respecting yourself. You need to talk to yourself better.

It's good that you are going to the gym. Keep it up. But, if you hate yourself it means nothing because girls won't stay with you. Read books, meditate, practice self love, read self affirmations, visualize. Do whatever it takes. By the time you are my age (25) you'll be a badass.

Asking why to a girl is not going to help much. By experience, when they are minded with something they won't let you know the truth and when you happen to find the truth they will deny it. It's complicated like that sometimes.

You know,the think is im not that attractive,and she really is,its a miracle i managed to get that far.

Even if that's true, or rather, especially if that's true, you can't give her this kind of power over you. Because if she already thinks that she's out of your league, finding out how eager you are to give up your own interests for her sake will make her take you for granted, and the relationship won't last very long at all.

As for getting her into anime, has she ever watched Avatar The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra? Not anime, but I find it very easily opens the gateway to anime. If she likes that, then maybe try FMA since it's kind of steampunk and its quality is undeniable.

There's quite a bit of anime that includes these themes. If you can get her to the point of discussing what her issue with anime is, and maybe to compromise on it, then you could suggest watching some of these with her.

Anime was a mistake. It won't get you anywhere. Go out with her. Just don't get dumped by her after allowing her to decide on what you get to enjoy and what you get to not.

Also, stop thinking that she is a miracle to have come to consider going out with you. Have confidence in yourself for who you are. In the first place, if you really like her and think she is a God sent, you shouldn't be asking such a thing in a place that is full of quality MAL users like us.
