Dreams totally come true! I dreamed of dancing with hottttt Asian girls and I did it in February!

Her being with her friends might be to your advantage because it would be more like you chose her of all the pretty girls sitting around, you know?

Also, maybe play the cluts to your advantage? If you make her laugh and laugh with her, you'll already be bonding :D

I don't know. Don't you think this forum would be best if we let people naturally come to it? It's on the main page of d-addicts all the time so it's not like it doesn't have any free advertisement. I think trying to get as many people as possible to come will make this a bit crowded. Plus it's only a few days old. You can't expect miracles in only a few days.

*_* wai~~

a densha otaku live story x.X?

Ko0l~

ah i got alot of comments about lot of things x0 but since there old i dun feel like replaying~

but there is one thing i like to replay on
about long distence love thing..~

for the ppl who didnt work with them.. well its not like a game to try an see if it works an end up not working an throwing it~ , well am kinda in one.. and its like one of the members said.. gives more time and know the person more

and happy i knew that "someone" online.. i dun think he even exists irl.. i mean like if i was as if am going to meet some one for real like that , x.x of coures hes real some place in this world..~

oh and about this way of getting a girl thing~ sounds baka~ duno if girls fall for it or like the way guys get to them but not the kind who likes that >.> maybe girls where u guys live are like that way to get~ but still wierd x.X

all what people need is being honest an tell who u got a crush on the truth 'o'~ about eeveryhting , feelings "etc"~ , but there is one thing xox dun like some one from how "HOT" she is or how "SEXY" ~ these kind of relatons never last , only adds a sadness to life after a some time~ , a heart what it matters and all should know that ^^..~

wish u all the best in life..~

Comments like "hot" and "sexy" are crude and rude D: I don't like them either.

I don't think long distance relationships work when you're just starting out. It's one if you've been together for a while and then suddenly one of you has to move away for a job or something. You've already got that bond in place. But when you just start out, you really need to be able to see each other frequently, just time to hang out and stuff.

Long Distance relationships or romance is kind of a tricky thing especially if it's a brand new relationship or you're just trying to get to know each other stage. I don't think it's a big deal if the distance is like a 2 or even a 4 hour drive away but half way across the world would be huge. Of course not impossible. I know some people who started off living very very far away from each other and they're still together.

Cloud James Lionheart: Being a clutz is okay - I think it just makes you seem more approachable.

Long distance relationships require a lot of trust. if you are far away, you don't know what your gf/bf could be doing, and the would relationship is based on extra trust, not just your daily talking with each other.

a friend of mine had a long distance relationship with her bf in hong kong and she, for some reason had a bf here in toronto as well, which made me go, wtf are you doing, choose one, cause you can't go both ways, even though it feels like you can. yes so thats my advice

Cloud James Lionheart: don't worry about anything, be well yourself, cause shes going to see that side of you anyways.

good luck cloud and remember where Lionheart came from :) Courage isn't something you can just pull out of your back pocket. I know what you are going through to well. Have you talked to her? I browsed through the post but you didn't really mention a full convo.. You know you might even try asking her for like msn or aim contact or something and talk to her through text. I find it much much easier to express the way I feel about someone through typing than talking since well.. you have time to think things clearly and you can't studder :) It can be hard trying to tell someone the way you feel about them but just try to express it through being funny or giving them your attention or something. I probably shouldn't be giving you advise since I suck at getting a girlfriend LOL.

I personally haven't had a girlfriend in 7 years and at first I was happy and liked being single. Now the older I get the more hopeless and depressed I get. I hope things work out for you now so 6 years from now you arn't in my shoes.

LOL the people predicting the thread would ballooon called that one :lol

On the subject of long distance relationships its true that they hardly work out. You have to have trust in that person and I mean if you can't trust someone than why are you going out with them? You have to believe that no matter how far away they are thinking about you. Love is a strange thing and even if you are 3000 miles apart you have to make it work somehow. If you don't think about them daily even if you don't see them than what you have is a friendship and not love. I don't believe in "out of sight out of mind" thats living in the moment and not the bigger picture.

Cloud, good luck! We're all rooting for you here!

My last relationship ended about a year ago. It was also my longest, being 8 months, but that was only because for about 6 months the girl was completely unavailable to do anything ever because she had a million siblings she had to sit for. I know it kinda sounds like she was playing me, but I trusted her and I still do. I fell in love and it took a long time for me to get over her (but I AM over her!).

Hum... I'd say that she's maybe uneasy that you saw her taking picture of you... I think she doesn't hate you or anything... Maybe she likes you and trying to hide it...

We can only assume that the other girl was stunned by your stunning new look and needed to take pictures as a souvenir :D

Sometimes teenage girls, when they like someone, don't know how to express it so they act mean towards them. "You always hurt the ones you love..." Older women just tend to flirt though lol :P

Even though I'm quite new here, I'm sure that I'll be able to tell about myself in a long post.
By reading this thread, I can trust most of you because everyone seems helpful with that "Densha Otoko spirit."

Basically, I'm a third year junior in a private high school. I'm having fun as it is, but it's not really fun emotionally.
I used to not care about my appearance during middle school, but it affected me much in freshman year due to society's lack of respect.
Now I really care about external appearance a lot and how it accommodates my Asian nationality and appearance.
Other than that, I somewhat look like a fun and intelligent person with a little nerd addition (Glasses).

I lost some weight and I continue to overlook that and keep a safe weight balance coordinated.
Even if I'm contempt with weight, I always have that issue of being shy come naturally to me.
It all started in the seventh grade when being jealous of others for having more friends than I did started to hit me hard.
My friends had girlfriends and boyfriends at such a young age before high school and had these hordes of friends behind them.
I always wanted to be that person, but I'm not confident in myself to meet them and have new relationships.
In my graduation pictures, I would usually look sad because I really contemplate on the past. I ask myself, "Why couldn't I have done this or that?"
"Why did this have to happen.” I'd say to myself.

I was an anime otaku back then and had friends who were somewhat otakus as well, but I didn't want to get friends of the same hobbies as me.
I wanted different friends, but everything everything around me has to involve anime and Japanese interests.

I'm not into most sports, but I'm more into eSports. That is online gaming and LAN events with games like Quake IV and Counter-Strike 1.6 coming next year. There is a 1,000,000 & 500,000-dollar event utilizing both of these games.

Anyways, I want to look for new friends, but my otaku and nerd self always interferes.
I consider people to be discriminating who I am, but I keep my otaku in the end.
I don't want all my friends to be otakus and nerds, but other kinds of people to be my friend.

Due to the after effects of my middle school years, I've been a very quiet and socially afraid person.
The highest point I've ever had with more friends was freshmen year, until I started to notice that I'm not really who I am. I've turned into something else.
I've remained quiet and now it's junior year.
I really want to change, since junior year is a very very important year in my life.
There is something I want to accomplish this year.
Have an actual relationship with this girl.

I really didn’t have a crush on her in freshmen year, even though she was in my homeroom.
Until sophomore year, I noticed how intelligent and beautiful she really was.
However, she wasn’t in my homeroom for that year or any other classes, which put me down really hard.
Junior year has arrived and she’s in two classes of mine. She’s in my Environmental Science class and Japanese class.

I only know one friend of hers, but she’s one out of the three friends that I talk to the most. The other, I don’t talk too much or are too busy with their busy lives.
And she is the only girl I had decent sized conversations with, but she’s just a friend.
Even though my second friend relates to me (Being shy and all) and we made a junior year pact, he really surprised me, saying he didn’t want a relationship, but sex.
I wanted to be with this girl forever. I just hope he changes his mind and gets a better heart.

The girl I like talks to a lot of people, which is the opposite of me.
She and I might share interests, but how am I supposed to be a long duration friend when I can barely talk.
I can somewhat talk to friends, a small sentence to people I somewhat know, and one or two words from people I don’t know.
People say I’m a nice guy and all, but I’m really a person who’s scared of outside.
I didn’t even do anything during the summer due to my lack of friends (Two point five out of three live in a far town). I didn’t even go to the mall because I think I’m not well dressed or summer is too much for me.

I really want to change and try to get to know her.
While trying to see if she’s the right one for a person like me.
Despite all the shame and loneliness I have to deal with at school.
I try to keep it all inside and hidden by keeping a cool composure, but it affects me at the end of the day when thoughts of this and that happen.
“I’m an idiot, what purpose do I have, can I really talk to this girl…”
Repeats in my mind over and over again.

I even tried to get rid of my otaku way before I saw it on Densha Otoko itself.
It didn't work in the end. My computer is covered with anime and I put back a big wall scroll of Chii on the wall.
It barely works if you quit.. but...

Is there anything I can do to change my future of despair and sorrow to something else…?

have confidence!! if you share interests with someone else and they think you're dorky...then they're really not worth trying to be friends with (that goes for that girl as well...) Maybe if you open up a bit more o_o i used to be like you too! lol no one at my school liked anime and they all made fun of it so i never said anything but when people asked me about my interests, i told them and they were cool with it and stuff o_o; cause really...if no one respects you and your interests, it's a waste of a breath to even trying to talk to them sort of thing i think...maybe you should approach that girl :] she'll be appreciative for you going up to talk to her

sorry if what i'm saying may make no sense whatsoever >_<;;

hmm cloud here, well i think all of us have to admit that we were like that at one point of our lives, and its not bad being an otaku, im one myself, thats why i also have a lack of confidence, but after making this forum and actually being able to take advice and meeting all these wonderful people,i have learned that people should really be loved for being themselves, being an otaku is what makes you, well most of us are otakus here because we're sat infront of our computer screens for most of the day right..? i think, that ive locked or kept away the real me away from the world, and well if i dont show it, then noones going to appreciate it, all of us in this thread will be able to help you on the outside, but one thing we wont change will be "YOU" the inner person, you should never change yourself for anything, maybe apperance, but never youself. because if you do itll be like your denying yourself, and are you really going to be satisfyed with that?? even if you have all the girls in the world, i know for myself that you wont be happy!...
you just have to let the world see the real you,
stop locking urself away..
thats all i can say..

I did have a small conversation with her, but that was all based upon Japanese group work. Nothing else.
Even though she knows my name, what ways should I make my approach since I don't know her that well.
I never even called her by her name yet.

Other than that, I want to talk, but I'll probably think too much and screw up.
It sometimes kills me to say, "Hi." because I don't feel confident at times.
If I ever start a conversation with her, what do I say?
I'm not really adept at social skills due to my past anxiety.
I'll probably say a sentence or two and reply, then feel the nervousness swell up in my head and sweat.
After thirty to sixty seconds, it'll become all quiet and I'll walk away, then mourn my stupidity and stupid sentences I said at the end of the day.

well i think you have to get the courage to say "hi" and your lucky, atleast this girl knows ur name and you have talked to her already, i havnt talk to the girl i like at all, she doesnt know my name and i dont think she even recognises me. saying things like how are you..? and general thing you talk about with your freinds would be the best way to start a convo..i think..,but you have to remember you cant jump into a relationship straight away.. you have to start as freinds, and that can happen with a simple hi and a smile, damn i wish i could do that myself.. well ill have to do it tomorrow! =] wow im nervous... i want to say thankyou to everyone again.. with out your help i wouldnt be here.. ^_^

yours sincerely

I guess we both have our judgment days tomorrow.
At school tomorrow, it'll just be a free day of festivities and entertainment for juniors and seniors.
We'll probably leave from homeroom, then go to the auditorium for a boring concert.

I kind of have a strategy to find her and meet her at the perfect place.
Her friend is in my homeroom and if I talk to her enough, she'll probably lure in her.
I just need the courage to say "Hello." for the first time to someone I like very much.
I hope I don't just sit there and say nothing, but I'll probably get nervous when I'm around friends of hers.
I don't even know who those people are.
They range from popular people to unknown people and I don't know what their views on me would be.
I would probably look strange in front of them if I just did something stupid or embarassing.
What should I do...

hmm see you have an idea, it doesnt matter they(her frends) think, at the moment its what she thinks, okai before homeroom is finished talk to her and ask her, "*her name* do you want to go to this thing?" as you said if it is boring she will say no, if she does say yes, she probably ask you "why?" and well just tell her the truth, "i dont really want to go, it seems really boring," but say it in a cheerful way so itll be a tad funny... but if any of that happens go to ur special place sit down and dont hesistate to talk..thats all really

@ramen89 hey ramn dont worry things will get better, for both ur lovelife and actual life, all of us in this thread can help in our own little ways, what part of london are you form by the way? and dont worry your secrets are safe with us hehe ^_^

I was in the same situation with this girl I liked a few years back at some church thing, each week I attempted to connect with her but just ended up looking like an idiot, never told her that I liked her.

I already know her name, but the problem is..
I've never been on an actual date before or actually been hanging out with someone else in a public place.
My hikikomori-ness has made me stay inside and forget all the places to go to.
I only know one or two malls, the computer store and that's it.

Thats like me, but because I can never really be bothered to go out its made it harder for me to interact with people face to face. I've kind of shot myself in the foot I guess.

Hum... Maybe you won't believe me but, as a girl, I was an otaku, and I maybe still am... But you have to go out and take a deep breath... Open up to people... Yeah I know, it's kinda difficult :-(

I'm probably too afraid to just go straight in front of her and ask her out on date.
I just don't think it's a good way.

Yeah I think thats definelty not the way to do it, you risk yourself looking a bit strange, the hardest thing for me is approaching aswell, so could anyone elaborate and say whats the best way? :D

dspr, your not really asking her for a date, your just asking if she wants to hang around somewhere, a dates when you have to dress up look your best, and well usually after a date if your lucky you get a kiss :P but hanging around is basically just getting to know her.. like i said you have to start as a freind first, you might be surprised, she might be an otaku herself :P

Yoooooosh !! Allright, just call me gib :P

The better place to go, I think: Having a walk in a quiet place, so you can chat, and you won't feel uneasy to tell her your feelings in front of others people.

PS: sorry if I do some mistakes in English...

But you may want to leave that to a later date, maybe start off with a movie or something?

i agree! is there are park near by or somewhere secluded, or even a special place where you hang about when you need time to think.

Yeah but with the park thing you dont want to rush into that one, she may think like "Why is he taking me to a place where theres not alot of people" That kind of thing.

I love havng a walk and just talking. Try to check the place before and find a romantic place. But be carefull, if she looks uneasy, just go with her in another place.

Everybody, have faith!

dspR, don't let your anxiety get you down! Start getting used to talking to people by just talking to people! Anybody at all. And then when you talk to her you will have some confidence! I used to be like you too when I was in middle school. I was very reclusive and everybody made fun of me. But then I started talking to my friends and then to their friends and so on until I could strike up a conversation with a stranger! Now I do not do it so well... but I am still okay at it. Talk to people you kind of know first and then graduate to people you usually don't talk to.

but a cinema is to much for hanging around its to sudden, a nice scenery place, a park isnt always secluded, there always people in the park, so it should be just right.

A park?
I don't know any good parks.
Most are just walking circles with soccer fields in the middle.

But you guys are making it sound like a date.
A walk together? That sounds kinda romantic.
And I don't even know a lot about her yet.
