If you guessed by the title, I'm currently dating a very nice girl. How we met was interesting, she attended the blogging panel I hosted at Metrocon. Every single time our eyes would meet, I would lose my train of thought. After my panel was over, I gathered some courage and asked her if she wanted to hang out with me for the rest of the day, she said yes. We talked and had a good time. When the day ended, we exchanged cell numbers and emails. We did some more talking and we confessed to each other. 
I personally think it's better to date someone who is into the same hobby as you because they already understand were you're coming from. I have dated women who are not anime fans and let me tell you, it's a pain. I pretty much tell them to piss off because if you can't understand my hobby, then they won't understand me. I have actually have not been watching that much anime since I have been her dating this girl. It seems I'm losing my otaku roots, lol.
By the way, my girlfriend is going to start writing posts here once a week. So, how is the dating scene for you?

Congrats to the happy couple! :D Looking forward to Kararu-chan's posts. It'll be nice to get more female perspectives in the otaku blogosphere.
Dude, my BF isn't into anime at all lol. But since he's a guy who plays his fair share of PC games, he understands having geeky hobbies better than a lot of girls would.
Recent blog post: Cosplay Finished! + Pre AX post
Ah, that sounds nice. Good luck with the relationship. =)
I've been dating the same guy for nearly two and a half years now. We're both pretty big into anime and we watch a lot of it together, but I'm the one that usually collects the figures and stray merchandise. He only has a handful of that sort of thing himself, so it's slightly funny that way.
I definitely agree that at least one hobby should be shared between the members of the relationship. I've been in some where I don't share any big hobbies with the guy/girl, and it's nowhere near as good as the ones where there's something nice that's shared. I find that when you don't really have some sort of hobby in common other than a tv show or two, the relationship starts to veer into the sexual aspect being the most important part that makes or breaks it, and we don't need things like that. ;-)
Keep dreaming. :P
Ku ku ku ku ku....-evil smirk- This'll be fun.
That actually sounds nice.. while I would imagine that one hobby should be share. I would also imagine how much into the hobby are both parties should be important as well... same with how much of a match you and your girlfriend is with watching the same anime. I have always had that issue with a lot of my anime hobby related friends. So good luck on the relationship!
Recent blog post: NYAFF’s Love Exposure aka Ai no mukidashi
I didn't forcefully convert my bf into being an anime fan, he came to me having watched some DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho already. But for the most part he didn't seem interested in newer series. I'd say the turning point in the anime aspect of our relationship was actually Naruto (I know I know). I was watching it while he was playing WoW in my bedroom and even though it was an important raid he just kept turning around and staring at the TV and started asking questions. After that point every time I started a new shonen/seinen series I thought he may like I let him know and he could join me if he wanted. We both like video games but our tastes rarely cross over the same game. Also he has VERY little interest in figures, he humors me.
