Mine only lives a couple hours away but there's a border in the way and I have no passport. I also have no desire to ever enter her country and as far as I know she only comes down for the con. She's fun to hang with but with my luck she's probably gay.

It's for the best, really. Unless you live less than an hour away from them you'll never see each other outside of that one con and nothing substantial will ever come of your feelings. Find a real gf and make her your con crush or do what I do and keep everybody at arm's length so they can't hurt you.

It's awkward to have crushes on female cosplayers with even small social media followings nowadays. How exactly are you going to differentiate yourself from the other legion of thirsty dudes who "like her"?

I've been con crushed on by girls at cons before. Both times have led to tragedy, and one even ended with me being with a girl romantically for about 6 years behind her fiance's back, with the promise that she'd eventually break up with him.

I've decided to just go to con parties and meetups and bang cos-girls instead of forming lasting relationships. Seems less painful this way.

>> No.10155386

Like 6 years ago I met a boy at Katsu that I developed a huge crush on after spending a night around him during a /cgl/ meet.
I had a boyfriend that time and the next time I saw him another guy we know threatened him to stay away from me cause he had a thing for me.

Long story short, feels like a missed connection. I still know him, but I am with the angry one now. He is still a cute guy and I wish him the best.

>> No.10155446

I've had a huge con crush on a girl for almost a year now, which is strange especially because I almost never develop crushes on people. We met at a con event and became friends, and have done quite a few cosplays with each other over the past year (including couple cosplays), but she lives over an hour away from me, and is much closer friends with the other people we met at that event, which is my fault, because I never really pushed us to become close friends (since I've been dealing with some personal stuff the last little while).

But yeah, I'm almost 100% sure she doesn't have feelings for me, and I'd never pursue it, because I really do enjoy just having her friendship. Plus, idek if she's gay; she was once asked about her sexuality in front of me and she gave a really roundabout answer that was basically just "I'm not sure". A girl can dream, though. I'm on the west coast, where like every girl that cosplays is lgbt, so hopefully I'll be able to move on sooner rather than later.

I'm pretty sure my con crush is gay. Which is ironic because I'm also gay I'm not usually into guys, but, this dude is always cosplaying my video game husbandos and he also lifts so he's got this toned body and a cute face... Not to mention cosplaying the niche shit that I'm into

Anyway I usually just shyly wave at him and say 'Hi!' and then run away when I see him at cons so he doesn't really know that I exist. I've been making more friends in the local cosplay community so it may be inevitable that our friend groups collide at some point and I really don't know what I'll do then because I'm really awful about talking to people I like.

I normally only lurk but I'll bite. I had a con crush about 7 years ago. Karaoke has always been my favorite part of conventions, and she was an incredible singer that liked a lot of the same songs I did, mostly old 80s and 90s classics. I'm pretty socially awkward typically, and so was she, but somehow we ended up chatting despite our social ineptitude. We ended up chilling together for about 90 percent of the con, sang some Duets, and traded contact info at the end. We didn't really talk outside of the con though, and were located too far from each other geographically to hang out anyways.

We continued to meet at that convention for 2-3 years, and at this point I was realizing how much of a crush I had on her. I actually broke up with my long term girlfriend, feeling like I had more shared passions with my con crush than with her, and promised myself I would ask her out during the next yearly con. Before the convention I messaged her, only to find that she couldn't make it that year. The same happened the next year.

The third year, I was ready to give up on going. This convention was too far for me to continue traveling and it felt empty without her those two years. I was mulling over whether to cancel my hotel reservation or not, and messaged her as usual to ask if she was going. This time though, something seemed different... She was bringing up our past convention years a lot and I got a vibe that she might actually like me back. The conversation eventually steered toward relationships, and we basically confessed to liking each other.

>> No.10155852

>>10155846
(continued)

We went to the convention that year for the first time as a couple. We then started flying frequently cross country to see each other. Eventually the separation of a long distance relationship started becoming too much to bear, and she took the leap to move out to my area so we could continue to be together. Now, as of last year, we are happily married. It honestly has felt almost unreal, because I never expected myself to be this happy in a relationship and to have this kind of life. Before this, I was basically resigned to be foreveralone.

Tl;dr - I had a con crush once, and now we're happily married and inseparable. Follow your dreams, people... You never know if your con crush actually has a crush on you too.

I went to a convention recently and met this really cute dude, but I think he might be asexual and not a homo.

Why are you with the angry one? Life is too short for that much stress.

Anyway my con crush is a really cool, wholesome dude, we talk quite a bit online but he has a girlfriend and I also have a SO that I'm not interested in betraying, so it's just a little fun feeling I have and I get to feel fluttery the few times a year I see him. It's not causing me any pain.

>> No.10155913

>>10155899
That's a different unrelated story. We were both settling for each other even though we didn't feel the same way we used to. We were basically together just out of obligation. Meeting my con crush gave me some perspective on that. After breaking up with her, and my crush missing the convention for 2 years, I was starting to accept that it would likely never happen and that I had missed my one chance to be with someone that I really connected with.

Was at a con a while back and happened to be in line for the free con photographer and there was a lone storm trooper in front of me with his helmet on. We were chatting to pass the time, he complimented me on my costume and I his and asked how he made his armor, etc.
It was hot in the hallway so he took his helmet off and he was the most handsome man I have ever seen, I nearly blurted that out right to him. We continued our pleasant conversation while waiting when suddenly his girlfriend that I didn't know he had, came up and he went to talking to her immediately (which I completely understand and don't blame him for) but it killed me and I still think about him. He was so nice, made his own costume and could have been a damn model, I'll never see that again.

I'm just a retard uggo and he's an e-famous pro.

I think it turned into more than a silly crush and I can't do anything about it. I'm just a fan in the middle of thousands of others. Like hell I'd absolutely love to at least be a close friend of them but I know my ugly retarded ass can't do that especially since we're continents away.

What hurt even more is that he got called out and exposed and that shit hurt like hell. I don't know how to feel. They've always been really kind to me and it seems so genuine (this coming from a cynic person too) but I can kind of see him doing the stuff he got called out for, too. And yet my dumbass is still longing for him. Heart wants what it wants.

Angry one did the whole "meet a girl and settle down thing". He took the initiative and made himself a better man when I rebuffed him without me pushing him to. This was years ago at this point.

I'm too shy/worried about being creepy to talk with someone one-on-one (even if I have an obvious 'in' like our cosplay matching) actually at the convention, be it on the floor or at panels and meetups.
Instead I usually meet people and make friends in groups, and typically I end up getting a crush on one of the girls (even in non con/fandom scenarios). but then:
>am I moving too fast/aggressive?
>will it make things awkward with the rest of the group?
>what if she taken?
>is she straight, even
>you don't even know her, you just think she's cute and you have a couple of surface-level common interests
>relationship virgin in upper 20s and don't even know HOW to ask someone out
Eventually I find a way to talk myself out of a crush.. maybe they post a hot take or otherwise demonstrate they have bad taste or are obnoxious on Twitter and I tell myself "well I guess it wasn't meant to be! Oh well." and go on just being friends with only a very occasional heartstring tug.
In the end, I'm fine being single but that 10% of the time when I feel alone and lonely does get to me.

someday I will post in threads like >>10126853 dammit

Protip: the best moment to ask out a girl as the first time you feel as possible romantic connection to her.
You should show that you're interested in her in that way and then workout if you guys are compatible together. I know it feels like a shock to your system at first if they say no but most girls can and will go on to be friends with you fine if they don't feel for you that way.
The casual romantic move becomes a lot less casual after you've been hanging out for a whole weekend or whatever.

Once in 2014 I had like 4 con crushes at the same con.. It actually led to my first con abortion.
Went with a guy from highschool and we ran into some of his old friends, one of them dressed as Uzu Sanageyama so we really hit it off since I was cosplaying Nonon. They were SUPER sweet and treated me to dinner and drinks.
Settled down now and living the quiet life, but sometimes I yearn for those good old days. Actually married that highschool friend so that's nice.

Ignore her online presence entirely, or follow but don’t make a big deal out of it. They’re sleezeballs but pick up artists know a thing or two that’s not horseshit. If you want someone to pay attention to you, male or female, don’t ignore them but don’t prioritize them either. No ones going to be attracted to captain thirst, but in a social situation, prioritize the women you’re not interested in, and go in on the one you want at the end.

I actually met my current boyfriend at a con. I'd gone this con for the weekend fresh from ending a 7 year relationship after being cheated on. I'd gone to the con with friends and I hadn't planned on hooking up with anyone or meeting anyone new. I just wanted to enjoy the weekend. The Saturday at the masquerade ball my boyfriend caught my eye and I was instantly attracted. Now after being single for the first time in 7 years I was rubbish at flirting and tried to catch his eye xD in the end my friend basically approached him and said I thought he was cute. He then approached me and we chatted and had drinks and I actually stayed in his room that night. We do live 2 hours away from each other sadly but we do still see each other out of cons regularly. I even plan on making the leap to move to his area later this year.

good for you. my story is almost completely the same. but like a few months before the con I wasn't planning on going to, she convinced me. and after a little more talking she said he liked me. now the very first time I met this girl I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen, plus she was just really cool all around. her laugh is still the most amazing thing I've ever heard. after we both said we liked the other. we did the long distant dating thing. lots of videos and pics of whatever we were doing that day.
what I'm assuming was the guy she really wanted finally had the balls to tell her how he felt. about 3 weeks before the con she convinced me to go to, where we were going to do a bunch of date stuff we'd planned, she told me about this other guy, and "blah blah distance blah blah"
I was crushed, still am. my last relationship was awful before her, so i wasn't really looking for anything at the time. something happened the night before my plane left. I had already tried to get refunded which sent me into a depressed state. so, I was going to a con to be with some body who didn't want to be with me and I had more shit to deal with.
I said something to her that was said from a place of hurt and not really anger, even if there was a bit. she was mad at me. she confronted me about it. we talked and made up, she was still going to be with the other guy. nothing happened. on a rainy Friday afternoon. we just laid on the bed not talking about anything and everything. I looked into her face. she did the Eskimo kiss nose thing and looked up at me. at that moment I completely fell for her. I still feel that way about her. it's almost been a year.
I'm trying to get over her, I really am. I've been on a few dates. but none of them can hold a candle to her. which is a messed up thing because she doesn't want me, I know that. I know I should move on, but my heart hurts. every other girl reminds me of her.

Is that thing at some cons? That'd be helpful as shit.

I want to piggyback on to this to say as a girl who is single but not interested in anything romantic, I 100% prefer if a guy makes it clear early on that he’s looking for a gf. It’s stressful not knowing if someone is interested in you romantically and they don’t make it clear. You’re afraid that if you reject them before they make a move they’ll call you presumptuous, but if you just wait and see it’s like you’re leading them on. If it’s clear from the start I can turn them down and maybe be friends (in which case i am a pro wingwoman). And you’ll save time if you don’t wait around

Most of the others were just there for a weekend then done, though one had a few cons of seeing her around before i told her how I felt and got rejected.

I've had a few. My first one was a random attendee at Ohayocon back in 2010. We spent most of the con hanging out and chatting with his friends. We exchanged numbers and talked for some time until I broke my phone in like, early 2012. Haven't been able regain contact with him since.

Another crush I had was a really handsome Kaworu cosplayer I spent a good chunk of time chatting with at Youmacon. I think that was either 2013 or 2014. Not sure. I forgot to get his number and the only thing I remember is him telling me his first name.

My next crush was a fellow rhythm game fan I met at Anime Midwest in like, 2016. We followed each on all social media pages, exchanged numbers and were intimate at least once. He stopped talking to me only a few months ago though. Which sucks because he was a pretty dope friend.

I developed a crush on a Bahn cosplayer at Colossalcon last year but didn't pursue it out of fear of looking stupid. I regret that move.

Be an equally cute cosplay girl? You already have the statistical advantage (though it'd be higher if you were both lolitas) so you may as well just ask them to get a drink or whatever. It's been my experience that any female cosplayer that isn't physically attached to a dude is gay or asexual. Worst case scenario, they politely decline your advances without making a scene because you're a girl and therefore not a threat. Best case, you acquire one qt cosplay gf.

Thanks for the encouragement. Whenever I go to cons, it’s always with friends I rarely ever see so I feel weird ditching them to try and pick up girls. Maybe I’ll go solo to a local summer con as day trip and try to find a girl then

Ah con crushes... I've had a handful over the years, but I'll only go into two.

The one that hit me the hardest was a girl I met while cosplaying. We chatted about each others' cosplay and really hit it off. We lived rather far from each other, so we met up at the occasional con and flirted over text for a long time. It got to the point where we would talk at least a little every day. We did a few couple-cosplays and slept together once. At some point down the road she invited me to a party at her house. I committed to going, but since I was so far away it only made sense to go the night before and stay the night with her. A few days before the party, she told me she just started dating someone. I was gutted; we had been flirting mere days before so I didn't see that coming at all. I drove up anyway, hundreds of miles, slept on her couch, and genuinely enjoyed the party. We all drank and stayed the night. In the morning, she emerged from her bedroom with her new boyfriend and a hickey on her neck. The situation was a bit painful, but I understood. I could never be what she wanted or needed. We lived very different lives hundreds of miles apart, and I was in a committed long term (poly) relationship with my now fiancee. We're still friends and meet up at cons. I wish she were more honest with me leading up to that situation, but I don't hold a grudge. We had good times and good feelings along the way, and I value those experiences.

cont.

My favorite one though is my current one. She is a gorgeous chaos lesbian that I met through a mutual friend. I knew that she was strictly a lesbian and not bi from her own account and from others', so I never even imagined anything happening. Well at some point we all got drunk and started discussing our various kinks. I sensed interest from her in something I was describing, so I asked her later when we were sober if she wanted to try it. To my surprise, she was game, so I brought my 'equipment' to the next con. We had a good time and decided to make it a regular thing, so we hook up at any con we're both at (Since we're also hundreds of miles apart). She broke lesbian edge for it, which is flattering. Turns out one can be lesbian for romantic partners without being so restrictive physically. Now I suppose we're friends with benefits?

So did you actually have sexual intercorse, or is your thing and "tools" related to bondage or something that can be done non-sexually? Because if it's penis in vagoo, she's not a lesbian. If you're tying her up and spanking her or doing things that don't involve actual intercourse, then she can still be a lesbian, because you're not fucking. You can do a lot of kinky things that are considered non-sexual by a lot of people.

Not me personally, but someone had one on me, I think. Read on for why I am dense as a rocl. I was at a con a few years ago, dressed as Joker, and a girl dressed as Harley Quinn walked up to me and asked to follow me around, handholding and all. She then asked if I had any gum, which I didn't, and I informed her of such. We eventually got separated at some point.

It was about a week after the con that I realized what had happened. Haven't seen her since.

I met somebody at a convention that was quite recent, actually.

They were really funny, and we both had very similar tastes in things. So alike as to not only finish each other's sentences, but having near identical mannerisms. I passed them by the next day only once, for a passing "Hello," and although they asked for my Instagram, I haven't messaged them since the convention ended...

I am so very struck by our connection that day, but I'm also too nervous to message them!

Just got out of a pretty major con crush I guess, wouldn't mind getting it off my chest.
I met a girl last March, & we hit it off really well. We became friends pretty easily, but not super close; she was pretty private about her personal life with our whole friend group, and I've been withdrawn from meeting new people as well the past while due to my mental health.

By the summer, I was crushing on her though, and super hard. Which is a big deal, because I RARELY crush on people, and when I do, I feel it deep. I was pretty sure she was also gay, because of some comments she made (which I see now I likely misinterpreted), and the fact that we cosplayed a few lesbian ships together.

By like, mid-Nov we drifted apart a bit due to both our work, & I kinda stepped back and realised that my crush was based on a lot of things that I had idealised in my head about her, and we hadn't really shared enough with each other to warrant a crush like this, & I had ignored some huge red flags in her personality, so by Jan, I had mostly forced myself over it. I kind of withdrew from the friendship a bit as well, since a lot of my enthusiasm for it was from infatuation, & in reality, we didn't have a lot in common at all. I still chat with her & see her at cons and stuff, and we're still friends, just less close than last year.

At a con in May tho, I saw her again, and was really surprised to meet her boyfriend for the first time. Firstly since it was someone that a lot of my friends disliked, & secondly, I didn't even realise she had a boyfriend of several months (since we haden't been talking much). Though it wasn't as soulcrushing as it would have been six months ago, it definitely felt weird. Not bad, but weird.

But yeah. Sorry for rambling, rant over. I feel like I matured a lot from this experience (even if most of it was in my head), and I'll be better equipped to not let infatuation & idealisation run me over in the future (am 20, haven't been in a relationship yet).

I had a con friend who I always super lowkey had a crush on. Years later, after many cons together just as buddies, something really sparked between us. We’ve been together for a couple years now after relocating to the same state. We’re still bonding over cons and cosplay and everything is pretty amazing.

I haven't actively browsed /cgl/ or cosplayed in years, aside from the odd pop-in here and there. This thread made me realize how much I missed it.

I had a pretty bad crush on a girl I met at a con years ago and spoke with her every time we both went to the same con but nothing ever came of it, maybe something could have the first time we met. She was sending me all the right signals but because I was a sperglord of course I spilled my spaghetti walked away quickly and cried myself to sleep.

I saw a sad looking girl siting alone on a bench watching storm clouds.
I pretended to be watching them too but I was creepily glaring at her. She was cute.
She then moved behind a pillar to lay down.
I felt really bad like I made her uncomfortable so I left then talked to my friend on the phone about it, he said to just leave it but I went back and apologized to her.

Turns out she didn't notice and was trying to sleep then we started talking and she taught me how to make origami cranes.

We're friends now and I'm trying not to be a creepy mess at cons anymore

Step 1: Be a virgin.
Step 2: Rarely experience social interactions with members of the opposite sex.
Step 3: Look forward to a day for months, planning intricate costumes and spamming /cgl/ with shit like “Are cons a good place to find a gf?” “What type of men do women like?”
Step 4: Attend con. Meet another nerd in a social environment where socialization is encouraged. See that they don’t recoil from you.
Step 5 (optional): Actually escalate to something physical. You’re a nerd virgin who doesn’t party so this is a rarity that you will cherish and brag about for months, rather than forgetting about it a week later like most normies.

I'll try to make this short.

- My first con.
- Fanime 2009
- See a girl yelling, "Im on a boat" in the convention lobby.
- Laugh and think to myself: Wow, I'd like to meet her.
- Later get introduced to her by some random .hack cat girl that I befriended.
- She's a 5 ft, white girl with brunette hair, wearing a red kimono.
- The 3 of us wander around the gaming hall.
- We decide to split up but exchange numbers.
- I've forgotten her name so I hand her my phone and ask her to spell it.
- Asks my last name, so say it once.
- She repeats it back with decent pronunciation and proceeds to spell it correctly. (Super wierd since its a Japanese name with like 10 letters)
- Grab tacos an hour later, bring my friend and his gf along, but he leaves because the girl I like is too loud.
- Later see girl with 4+ guy orbiters.
- Stop to chat. She and 5 sailor scouts introduce me to caramelldansen.
- Am confused and ask if thats the whole dance.
- Laugh and take a video anyways.
- Few hours pass and I miss the ride back with my friend because we are staying at his gf's house.
- Oops.jpg
- Text him its np, I'll figure out something.
- Girl asks where I'm staying.
- Laugh and tell her I'll sleep under the tables since I missed my ride.
- She says her room is pretty full, but I can stay if I give her $20.
- Agree and find out she has a King bed at the Fairmont.
- There are 3 girls and 5 other guys +me.
- Worry that the other guys seem to be into her, but she confirms she isn't dating anyone.
- We try to sleep in the bed sideways to fit 7 people.
- Girl has to leave room at 1 am, because she is chatting too much and the other people who paid her money want to sleep.

>> No.10214413

- I offer to head out with her.
- Two other orbiters and 1 girl chime in to leave as well.
- Wait through 30 minutes of conversation in the lobby of the Fairmont tower.
- Ask her to take the elevator with me.
- She agrees and we go to the top floor.
- I tell her: "You are amazing and it would be cool if we dated."
- Adding quickly, "I'd understand if you'd prefer to keep the entourage of boys pursuing you, but if so I'll have to take my leave. I think we can be good friends, so either answer is great to me. :D"
- She agrees tentatively, but with conditions.
- "Before we date, we should go on a date first. If that goes well, I'll say yes."
- Fast forward 2 days
- We are dating.
- The other guys in the room congratulate me.
- One shakes my hand.
- Another declares "The best man won."
- A third guy sulks, but later hands me a chocolate bar and asks me to give it to my GF. (Apparently, they attend College together)
- He leaves and I throw it in the trash.
- Fast forward 10 years
- We have 2 young kids.
- My wife had a bad AX with the earthquake and other things not going well.
- She's sleeping soundly, but I thought typing this would cheer her up a little. (I don't frequent here, but she does and I hope she will read it)
- Thanks for giving me this chance CGL!

TLDR: You can crush on someone and if they happen to be into you maybe it can work out. I don't suggest the methods I used, they probably won't be successful in the current day and age.

My current s/o and I were kind of like this, so it's nice to see that others had luck too! He also felt like he was settling for being alone forever before me too.

I fucking hate myself. I should have gotten up and offered to help her carry shit at least. Could've talked to her more then. This girl is seriously amazing. Even we were just friends that would be enough for me. I just want to be able to talk to get about weeb shit again. FUCK. It's been 4 years since then if I have even have the years right and I still can't stop thinking about her. Never met another girl like her. I hate who I am and hate who I was.

Had a girl who did this to me constantly but then I notice she does it to everyone and she is just a succubus taking advantage of such signals

In short, don't trust women at all. The only sure sign she is into you is if he WANTS to go somewhere with you and hang out, bonus points if she goes out of her way to do it
