looking for western friends
 

Hello, i am a age 16 and japanese girl. I like to make friends with you if you don't mind. I like to talk about anything but no relationships. ^^

I'm bracing for the flood here.

Hana, if you really are a 16 year old Japanese girl... I sure hope you're ready for shallow friends that are only interested in you for your ethnicity. And you better like talking about visual kei, anime, and pocky! :D

Noooo, Keaton, how could you?! Hahah, actually I believe it. Too many otakus only interested in "Japanese this, Japanese that," generalizing the people too -.-; I hope I don't become "enemy of otakus" because of this." ><

I don't know, I was too shy in high school to chat with the exchange students in my Japanese class (which I regret now) even though it would have been a great learning experience on both sides. Maybe I should take the chance now.

Search your feelings! You know it to be true! Join me as an enemy of the otaku, and we can rule this forum as... we'll hammer out the details later.

My penpal became the love of my life, but it doesn't have to be romantic, you could learn a lot of other things together.

Otaku, please stay out of this thread :)

No! I don't believe it! It's not possible! You can't be my father! NOOOOOO! XD (just kidding)

The horde has done a surprising job of self-control so far. Shit, I jinxed it -.-;;

You're right though, it doesn't have to be romantic at all. If it ends up that way...well...damn, that's great. Lucky you though! I want to find the love of my life ;[

how come there is a bunch of threads about people wanting "japanese friends" and now theres one looking for them and they arent here. im actually surprised

Friends are friends. doesnt matter where they are from!

Threads like these make my disbelief detector go off quite loudly...

Agreed with Arikado and Koir. Must be some kind of otaku IP blocker or firewall. I'm baffled. At the same time, I have a few people I think could be behind this ;)

Ha, you must prove your existence with...PICTURES!!!! jk

I don't consider myself an otaku although I do like anime and manga but its not out of balance with the other things I do. Anyway, hit me up if you'd like to chat. Be wary of the "others" on here. They may drown you.

The OP didn't mention anything about anime, j-pop, manga or anything otaku.

they are talking about how otaku's will glomp this person

If people noticed: "I like to talk about anything."

I think the "but no relationships" part is the a key factor to the invisible wall.

The irony is that the anti-otaku glomped first.

*beams with pride*

Times are changing, I hope

Lmao! I also noticed this. For the better then?

One can only hope.

Friends
 

Hi, Hana83! I'll be your friend. I live in Canada, and I'm a 13 year old girl. (Sorry, is that OK? I know some other people who dont really like having friends more than a year younger or older than them.) But other than that, the only thing is that I don't have my own e-mail address or msn, so it could just be private messages.:marusmile: Hope to hear from you soon!

I want to be your friend. Im a westerner from western europe but im not white, im light brown. PM me if you want to be my friend

Hello, Hana!
I'm a 15 year old girl from the US.
My email is [email protected]

Cheers!

Oh and I am not responding because I am otaku. just for your information. *looks at Keaton421*

You mean this one, that's on your website? :D

I knew the flood would come sooner or later.

The next day at high school:

"Konbanwa, everyone! Haii~ I have a supa kawaii (that means cute!) Japanese friend and youuu don't! Ne~~" Status symbols ftw.

I just didn't know the qualifications for making friends these days were "has email address"

...Darn it. You got me there. XD The only reason it's on the website is because I wanted to provide an email address in the unlikely event that somebody would need to contact me. I'll go provide my other email on there. Thanks for pointing out that I needed to edit that.

Konnichiwa (^_^) I'm an Italian university student I'm studying engl and Jap :) I'm a girl .I've added you on msn hope to hear from you soon
Mata ne :D:ywave:

Um hi am i considered western ? I live in the states but wasnt born there. Anyways Would you like to be friends?

Maybe she wants that? Who cares, she's not complaining, and she's making friends.

Friend
 

Hello I'm Jess I'm from Australia, female, 15, you wanna be my friend?:D
If it's to late and you already have enough friends, then that's alright :)

Haha... good call.

If it's not the Otaku scaring away the native Japanese it's the cynical elitists.

No, I think the otaku can get the job done. I'd chose the cynical elitist over the latter any day.

I'll add you up, I could use a friend in Japan since I'll be there come March, and it would help to have some people I can communicate very easily to in order to make my transition there easier.
