I'm a guy who's friends with this girl for 3 years now. We really connect with each other down to our interests, the strongest similarity being our liking for anime stuff. It's not to the point where it's "weeby".
At least for me, I guess.
I've known her for very long, and I've come to like her, and she does think that I'm nice too and all. For so long, I've wanted to be closer to her than just a friend.
But thing is.. she's really into drawn guys than real people.. than me. She likes me, yes, but those drawn characters even more so. Is there anything I could do or something? Any thoughts?
I'm a man who likes 2D > 3D
>Is there anything I could do or something?
No

Murder-Suicide seems like the only reasonable course of action here.

Or, you know, you can embrace 2D girls. Then you can put two TVs in the room, one with 2D girl porn and the other with 2D male porn and you can fuck while looking at the porm. This is basically what sex will be like in the future for everyone!

Actual girl who's into 2D guys: it's...well, it's complicated.
Sometimes some people can have a relationship regardless of their weirdo fictional crushes, weebs included. I've seen it happen. For your situation, all you can really do is keep up the friendship and see if anything develops or if she wants some real close company (if you know what I mean). Just try not to become obsessed with her romantically. She honestly can't help friendzoning the world. Assume that she's lost, or it'll be harder down the line.
One of my dormmates, a bigger weeb than me, has had a relationship with a dude. He was fairly unattractive (no offense to him; he's the one who gained 100 pounds when he was dating her), but she's...well, she's practically asexual to real guys. The romantic attraction and need for cuddles/comfort was there. Other shit? Nah.
I'm probably fucked up myself. One tall blonde dude did set my hormones on fire and I wanted to bark up his tree like a bitch in heat, but otherwise this feeling is reserved for fictional guys.
I have an insane sex drive and even the thought of sucking dick gets me wet, but...yeah. I don't see myself ever getting into a relationship.

sounds like you've had father issues early in life and became an anime recluse. oh well. can't change it if you don't want it to.
>>18302361
>anime recluse
Actually anon, I probably only watch probably two episodes per month on average. A lot of the fictional guys I like weren't always from anime.
I say weren't because it's been months since I've had my last crush.
>father issues
>dad mainly avoidant in childhood
>alcoholic issues that I mainly avoided but were still there+my bros got the worst of it
>died when I was 17
...Yeah, maybe. The catch was that he was Brazilian, not white like my mom, dark-skinned and black-haired. The usual Freudian shit would argue that I should be into men like him, but I'm not.
>want to change
Probably not. Relationships seem kind of disappointing, at least from what I can tell. I'm not really one to settle, either, and fuck knows that if I were to transcend all shallowness, I would STILL want a guy with a majestic personality who's talented and passionate.
Unrealistic expectation, indeed. A part of me knows well how fucked up it is to prefer 2D or fake guys, but I don't really have the impetus to change
>tfw forever alone but okay with that
>all you want are platonic soulmates
>>18302383
what are your brothers like? what about your mother?
>>18302402
Like? Well, that's vague but I'll try, nigga.
>one: resembles my father a lot in coloring, is mentally ill and stuck in life and the past, I feel really bad for him
>the other: pretty chill, fat, actually makes 60k per year off his art, is much paler than me but has darker brown hair compared to my ash light brown, is okay personality-wise but pretty one-noted/tracked a lot of the time
>mother: someone full of regret, I also feel bad for her, lives day-by-day gets frustrated by any amount of challenge (thank goodness I love working through challenges and don't get frustrated with anything)
I feel very ambivalent in general towards them. Like hell would I allow myself to spite my family. On the other, I know that I would've been a happier, more fulfilled and complete person if I were born into most other families...does put me in a really confused mood.
>>18302426
I suggest you see a shrink about this, whether or not you want to change. You've clearly got some very complex family dynamics going on here (most people do I suppose). So it would take me far too long to go through this all on a image board.
I had never in my life been interested in anyone 3D until I fell for my best friend of three years. Now we've been together for another three and it's a dream come true. 3D husbando > 2D >>>> 3DPD
Thank you for the thoughts so far, both positive and negative. I kinda feel a bit less hopeful that she'll feel anything for me over fictional characters... I mean, I'm jealous over drawings instead of other real guys.. and I think that's just worse..
She's been my closest friend for 3 years too, and I have no desire to change that.. I just want to be--I hope to be more than that. I'll just be a little less romantically attached to her, I guess.. from what I heard, there's nothing I can really do myself..
