I'm not an otaku or "socially awkward" myself, but I can't imagine dating an otaku, much less one I met at a con. I'm not sure why, but I think I'd find it creepy more than anything. Maybe because to me, watching anime is a hobby, not a lifestyle, but most otaku seem to take anime way too seriously. My boyfriend barely has any idea what anime even is though he does lurk 4chan. I think if he was an otaku, our relationship would be really strange. But then again, my opinion probably doesn't count for much here, because, like I said, I'm not an otaku.
As far as the making-out thing goes, I saw plenty of it in really random places last year, particularly when it was dark outside.
How to get a Convention Girlfriend or Boyfriend: American Otaku Dating
And that was just in the convention center God only knows what was going on in some of the hotels. You can find friendships at con that can turn into love but I dont think you can find love at con. It takes time to fall in love and 3 or 4 days is not a lot of time. Hmm, finding love at any con I think is pretty easy, provided you know what love is.
Then again, I guess we all have different views of what love is to us. Everyone's there for the same things, so finding someone who doesn't have something in common with you would be pretty tough. Keep in mind though, not everyone's there to find a soulmate. I honestly think it's more random then anything else Normally when I go to the cons I just try to find some friends at events and all Course alot of times in the past I would do that but never get any contact information from people I met One problem I have with finding love at Otakon is the long distance relastionship some can bring since alot of people fly in or are very far away.
However, never say never as I always say.
I Went Speed Dating at Comic Con and Lived to Blog About It
Like in any situation where you wish to attract someone, going to Otakon with the intention of finding love will only lead you to failure since you'll try to hard to do so. Just go to the con, have fun make some friends and maybe one will turn out to be that special someone. You shouldn't try and turn otakon into a dating service I think avidly searching for love at Otakon wouldn't bode well for any brave soul. Not saying that it's impossible, but ya gotta think. If you happen to run into someone you like, that's cool.
But, I think your money will be best spent having fun and not thinking about it.

Heck, I've witnessed relationships crumble at cons way too many times to search for love at one. I mean sure, the problems could have started WAY before the con, but still. Red warning signals still go off in my head about it. But, if you've got your heart set on finding that perfect person at the con, I wish you all the luck in the world.
But then again, luck is simply the residue of preparation and skill. I've dated inside of the convention community before, though neither of those breakups involved fandom. I have ridiculously high standards now, though, thanks to those relationships. I personally wouldn't want to date a fanboy I prefer a guy thats just open-minded about anime fandom, he doesnt have to be into it himself.
Like, you might beg your BF to take you out on a date to a resturant. Im not speaking from experience, these are just examples. Ok, in all seriousness though, it's not true or fair to assume looking for love at Otakon is fruitless because expectations are too high. I saw some very good looking individuals at Otakon that I might find myself checking out outside the con.
I also have to say I saw good looking members of the female persuasion too, so if we must think about looks FIRST, that's not a fair statement to make.

Me, I'm cuter in the "awww how adorable! Anyway, I'm sure some otaku couples might get into arguments about what anime is better etc etc but I would guess those people are just competitive about such things by nature.
I wish my guy liked even one series. He's at least open-minded about watching it, say, when I have Adult Swim on I think I'm really close to getting him to admit he likes Ghost in the Shell: I wouldn't mind dating another anime fan. I've always gone looking to have fun and make new friends; If your lucky enough to meet someone there that you gain a connection with, then that's a wonderful thing. I've never actually gone to a con looking for love, but love has taken me to a con The only two guys that I've dated seriously have been into the con scene.
The first one took me to my first Otakon, and that got me more into anime and stuff, and that's what brought me together with my circle of friends now, and from there I met the guy that I'm dating now.

This coming Otakon will be our second one together I've never looked for love at Otakon though I was trying to help my friend look for a nice girl at another con. I really didn't have to help him, as there were actually quite a few girls giving him the opportunity to initiate a conversation, but he was too scared to do anything. I found somebody last year to hang around with, deep conversation with, hug with, touch with, etc. This year I have a girlfriend that "couldn't be less interested in asian culture" so obviously I'm not taking her along, which she is fine with.
Obviously I won't be open for match-making.
I would go to the con to have fun and not worry about looking for someone! Trying to hard will most likely lead to disappoint! Having fun an not worrying will deliver IMO a much more fullfilling con experience! The guys filed into the room.

No love at first sight, but also no immediate evidence of serial killing tendencies. Not even a Dexter cosplay. We were given the lowdown on the process — 3 minutes, no names, guys rotate, and keep track of the numbers of the dates we liked on our cards. Let me just say: Comic Con draws a pleasantly diverse group in age, race, and background. No one was cripplingly shy or scary or inappropriate. I just have a few pieces of constructive criticism:. If you want to date a geek girl, you should probably get used to hearing about this guy.
No love connection for me, but a few of the guys wrote their contact info on my sheet.
Speed dating? - Anime Midwest
The only excruciating part came at the end, when our host held us hostage and made us listen to his celebrity impressions. I can…sort of relate to this, specifically the nerdy guys being weird while trying to impress you. So he starts following me and trying to talk to me, and he asks me who my favorite Doctor is. I say Matt Smith and he starts rolling his eyes and scoffing at me.
You will get into my pants by loving things, not by hating things. Because I also love people who love things. Was it the bigger guy who was the host?
He met his wife at the speed dating I think? Yeah, I think they were filming another episode there this year. Was he super annoying on TV too? I kind of adore him to a sick degree! I have dreams of dreams about finding a guy who loves tv and things like I do. I assumed the room would be filled with guys like this: Or maybe even this: I just have a few pieces of constructive criticism: All of a sudden, what should be a low-stress conversation is an audition.
