As a post-00s girl, I recently chatted with my girlfriends about relationships and noticed that many of our otaku friends are struggling to find love. Honestly, seeing them spend their days at home playing games and watching anime, I can't help but feel anxious for them. Today, I want to talk about the challenges otaku face in finding love and share some real experiences of physical changes after falling in love.
First, let's talk about finding a partner. I've noticed that the biggest issue for many otaku is that they are too "homebound." A netizen once said it perfectly: "Otaku aren't incapable of finding girlfriends; they just don't give others a chance to meet them." It's true! If you're always holed up at home, how can you possibly meet new people and find love?
I have a friend who used to spend all day playing games at home, even having his meals delivered by robots. After some persuasion from us, he started attending offline events like board game meetups and anime conventions. Surprisingly, he met a like-minded girlfriend! So, otaku friends, bravely step out of your homes. Your soulmate might be waiting for you just around the corner.
Now, let's talk about the changes after falling in love. I have a lot to say about this. The most significant change is in my sleep schedule. I used to go to bed at 11 PM sharp, but now I often stay up late chatting with my boyfriend on the phone. A netizen commented, "The biggest change after falling in love is that my dark circles are getting worse." Haha, so true!
Another change is in weight. After starting a relationship, the number of meals I share with my boyfriend has significantly increased, and so has my weight. A netizen said, "I was 90 pounds before falling in love, and now I'm 120 pounds. This must be what they call 'happy weight'!" Although I've gained weight, the joy of enjoying delicious food with someone I love is truly blissful.
Lastly, I want to emphasize that whether you're trying to find love or are already in a relationship, the most important thing is to stay true to yourself. Don't change your hobbies and interests just to please others. As my boyfriend says, "I love you for who you truly are."
So, otaku friends, bravely be yourselves and keep pursuing your passions. Believe that you will eventually meet someone who understands and appreciates you. And for those already in love, cherish these sweet moments. After all, the changes that come with love are all marks of happiness!
