Hi. You need to go to hell.

The same goes for everyone else who keeps using the word creepy or stalker. Dating and socialization are not inborn skills. There is no class in highschool which teachs you the proper way to socialize.

If you're a shy person, you're going to be awkward and creepy until you pick up on the more effective ways of doing things.

In general, don't give up if you are rejected once. Sometimes, people send faulty signals, especially when caught off-guard. However, if you are rejected several times by the same girl, take the hint.

And there's nothing creepy about enjoying anime or Japan. Anyone who says otherwise is a communist. It's true that some girls (more generally, people) aren't very open minded. I remember my younger brother's exgirlfriend once called my masculinity into question for using the word 'cute'. But the trick is, that is a fault of OTHERS, not your own. If a girl finds your weird for liking anime, she's probably not a keeper. There's a million girls in the world who love anime. Find one of those instead.

Also, there's lots of people who feel lonely. A girlfriend, though, isn't necessarily the answer. Sometimes this is the case, but it's difficult work keeping things working -- especially if you don't share a common interest. If you don't want to be lonely, look for good friends (male and female) to spend your time with.
