You know, I never explicitly said this, but the reason I'm being so careful around the corners is because she likes anime, manga, and Japanese games. (I did say our interests match heavily though Since that stuff is so rare in girls, I even went about asking people, even though it's hardly the first girl I'm talking to. |
)I'll tell you how I got my fiancée (Japanese who likes manga and anime), it may be useful. Was working with her, learnt that she loved healthy food and lived close to me. Told her that I knew a restaurant where we could eat organic food for free close to where we live (a friend works there) pretty much a couple of days after meeting her. She loved it and we started dating regularly. I cooked for her (they love that). Took her to my place, started watching The Pursuit of Happiness, then BAM!! Sweet, sweet love... Never took the manga approach (not that that interested me a lot, I liked games but she never mentioned those).
Based on my experience I would recommend:
Tell her that you have a common friend and that you noticed you have common interests. Start a conversation and add her on FB. Make sure you don't look nerdy, even if she likes those things she has to know that you have a good job or are studying something cool or that you exercise a lot or that you work saving poor kids in the third world or that you play an instrument or have a great social life or that you cook or anything remotely 'cool'. Even chicks that love manga and anime most often put more emphasis on the social aspects of their lifes, they're not basement nerds and you better make sure she knows (or she thinks) you're not either. Make sure that she knows (thinks) you have a very clear purpose in life that requires your skills and that you have those skills. The manga/anime thing should be an aside.
Then ask her out, don't wait. Be confident and to the point, just something like 'listen, I'm going to this (insert event that may interest her here), I got free tickets (possible lie, may want to avoid and make her pay her ticket depending on situation/person). Wanna come with me?'.
If she says no and doesn't suggest another date, you're chances are dwindling a lot. Move on to plan B, though success is by no means guaranteed at this point. Make it clear that it's her loss and that you don't care (not in a rude way) and post some pictures of you having great fun in wherever you went with some hot chick you know. Then, later, talk to her again and mention that day and the pics. Make sure she knows you don't need her (FB girl). Make her think that the there might be something going on between the hot chick and you.
Then, later, ask her out again to some other event you may be interested in.
If it still doesn't work, move on to plan C: stalk her FB and jerk to her pictures, that's the closest you'll get to getting her.
