I'm in love with a fictional character. No, not infatuated. I love this man (I'm a girl). I don't feel the same way about anyone else, real or not. I know a a lot of people who want to date me, so it's not that I can't get a real boy or girlfriend. It's just I don't want them.
I think about him all the time. I didn't start out even attracted to him but after years of playing the games I fell in love with him and like I really know him. It's not just that he represents the ideal partner to me, even if I found a real person like that, I wouldn't care. I only love him.
Is anyone else in this situation? How do they deal with it?
If not, do you think I'm crazy? Just tell me your thoughts on this situation, please.
Yes you are insane, case closed.

I'm serious, guys, if I was a troll I'd put this in 4 or 7 chan.

Get some help. Or just look for a guy that has those same traits.
One thing you have to recognize is. Does this fictional character love you back, does he know you exist. Does he call every time you call. Does he have someone on the side?
All things you need to look out for. He may be cheating on you. Or he may be gay. Who knows.
> Or he may be gay.
Sephiroth is indisputably gay, case closed.
What he said; you'd be surprised who you can find in real life that you can get along with and feel the same feelings for. You may think there's no one else and than the next you walk out of your house you find love walking on the sidewalk. These emotions really fuck with your head, I've been in that state of mind before and trust me, it will fade.
I am falling in love with fictional characters all the time. It feels like this at first but it will eventually fade out.
What's the name of the fictional character you have fall in love with? Maybe I have loved him in the past!
This has happened to me...but luckily I'm "emo" as some people say, so it is easy to tell myself that I'm not worthy of her.
Not the best way to deal with it, but I have fallen out of love many a time using this method :)
I wondered if this is possible. In a good story you feel for the characters, weep if they die. This guy has taken it a step further. He'll never procreate with his imaginary mate, but we weep when Druss died anyway and that wasn't at all gay.
a ten post troll...gj
Two things:
Grow up, get a life.
Either you're an adolescent that hasn't grown out of her Peter Pan complex yet. Or, your social life is near non existent (probably hikki). Those are the two types of people who become obsessed with fictional characters.
Hi all, I'm kinda new here and I need help gettin back in motion. I don't really know how to put it, it's kind of like I lost my interest in girls(not that im homosexual or anything).
It's like ever since my last girlfriend I really don't know how to say it but i guess emotion to talk to girls or feeling like i lost my spunk haha.
I'm a fairly attractive guy(not trying to be cocky or anything) and girls approach me all the time but i haven't had much interest; maybe in a couple but I really haven't pursued anyone.
So I just need some motivation or something thanks in advance.
Why do you guys keep thinking I'm a troll?
And I appreciate your replies, even the 'mean' ones as they could very well be true.
You're probably just horny. I fantasize about Seto Kaiba fucking me all the time. Truth is, it's weird but when you find a real boyfriend, you'll forget you even thought about such a juvenile thing.
I've always considered myself to have a kind of 2D complex, but I don't think there's anything inherently unhealthy about it. Though I guess that kind of love is guaranteed to be unrequited, and for some that's bad, for others that's good. Don't have to think "should I ask them out", because you can't talk with them. For that reason it reduces the pressure.
I do think it will pass though. More than likely you'll find another character.
As for me, I had a whole year crush on Haruhi and then Yuki, but lately I think I'm favouring Sasaki more.
That being said, lately I've been feeling my first crush on a real person in nearly four years. Whether I actually do something about it is another matter entirely. Rather than risking disappointment I might just enjoy the change in preferences for a while.

A friend in R/L who wants to marry a certain game character.
I've found it's best just to ride out R/L crushes. I mean, realistically speaking, for those of us who fit the otaku mold, what are the odds that a crush would ever lead to anything worthwhile? I can't imagine many girls would stick around for very long after seeing the dakimakura, figures, and collection of Megami issues.
So, stick with the fictional characters. At least with them, it's no question as to whether they mind who you are -- they're categorically incapable of judging, being inanimate and all.
> I can't imagine many girls would stick around for very long after seeing the dakimakura, figures, and collection of Megami issues.
So, throw them out or put them in storage.
On the bright side, manga and models are still better than owning six RealDolls with triple-entry detachable orifices.
Having actual nonplatonic human contact is still better than both.

I think I've got the same problem, but it's not popular characters, but role=playing ones on MMORPGS.
I've fallen in love with their words and it's made me a bit jaded about guys in general.
Is it bad I prefer virtual boys to real ones?
I'd also consider myself to have some what of a 2D fixation, but I am also an artist, so I think it's more along the lines of being attracted to the colors and lines of a good character design more than it is wishing I could have a relationship with the character, although I do at times find myself thinking, "wow I wish (insertnamehere, lately it's been Konata) was real, it would be so awesome" But then I slap myself and go outside.
Someone needs to invent a way to create people anyway you want for situations like this. That, or persacoms.
>>26
yes, now go outside
chii?
Seriously, you people should go out more.
For those who think of what are the odds and all that shit: There IS someone to whom you can be attractive, not physically only, but goes between character, intelligence and opinions on subjects. Look at me, I love anime, have my room plastered in anime and game posters, have shelves with figurines, manga and a lot of anime paraphernalia. Heck, even the spades of my ceiling fan have anime images on them.
Still, I've got a steady relationship with an awesome girl. The kicker: She doesn't like anime. She likes me because of what I think, because I am a kinda funny person (os she says) and because I emmanate happiness, so to speak. And I like her for her intelligence and love for the arts.
The point is, don't let a hobby to limit your chance to be with another human being. OF course, chance that he/she will look vaguely similar to your preferred anime character is almost below zero, but with some open mind, some guts, and some shampoo you can find a person you'll probably like.
>I can't imagine many girls would stick around for very long after seeing the dakimakura, figures, and collection of Megami issues.
I think I'd propose on the spot.
Believe me, there are many, many geeky girls out there who will love your collection.
