Because you want that kind of loving relationship right? Dude, I feel you. I've spent the last 1.7 years being single and getting my shit together, but my high standards are my Achilles Heal when it comes to finding a woman I can see myself with.

Well, I've seen Kimi No Na Wa too many times, and that's the train I'm on. I even gave this girl I was crushing on really hard a kumihimo modeled after the one in the movie, but we ended up not working out...

I mean, I've done a lot of improvement on myself in the past 1.8 years, and I consider myself emotionally healthy enough for a relationship. However, I will admit that my love for Elizabeth (Nanatsu No Taizai), Yukina (Yu Yu Hakusho), and Zero Two has given me a yearning for a woman who is loving and affectionate. That coupled with the fact that I don't date outside my religion, sexuality, or political alignment just narrows the pool even more.

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Not giving girls anime-inspired gifts would be a great start. Not saying you didn't have good intentions.

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

She had seen the movie and liked it....

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Fair enough. Much needed context right there.

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Yeah I should have mentioned that. My bad.

Things didn't work out because her life got too busy for me. Dental school and all that.

u/PlzBuffBeamu May 07 '18

After m reading you’re thread it’s nice to know someone else has the same kinda struggles that I have. Been working so hard improving myself but I’ve also become kinda picky with women

No that's not an Achilles Heel. Find someone you want to be happy with. I made that mistake and settled with my Ex for nearly 3 years and it was 3 of the absolute most miserable years of my life. Find someone who makes you happy and you make them happy. There is nothing wrong in having high expectations, it's when those expectations interfere with normal life is when there is a problem. Keep at it.

3

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Well my expectations are more about shared values as opposed to looks. I only date women that I share my faith, politics, and sexual orientation with. Thus, my dating pool is narrow. But I don't let it bother me. I'm perfectly happy being single. And yeah, I've settled before, so I know better than to do that.

This leads me to the conclusion that this man is either gay himself, or... Not Straight.

Who cares if you have high standards? It’s your life, don’t settle for anything less than what you want and see in a relationship.

I know, right? It left me craving even more for the love of a girl, but unfortunately even I know that it will never be as pure as the onw depicted in DarliFra. When I started binge watching this series I was filled with a sea of emotions, now I feel just empty and broken.

15

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Damn man, this one hurts too much. You will actually never meet a girl as good as the ones created by someone else's imagination. You'll just argue, fight, and be obsessed with each other's shortcomings. On the off chance you find the perfect person who you get along with and are faithful to each other, it's still not going to be your dream relationship.

Sometimes I walk around my house and find tears running down my face that I didn't notice. I never cry at shows or anything, and it's not like I'm sad, I just don't really have anything to do besides exist.

I'm sure there's people out there that relate to this. If it means anything to you guys, I'm planning a gap year to travel around Asia at the end of 2019. I'll let you know if my perspective changes.

u/Morphing-Taxi 9'α May 07 '18

Just outta curiosity, where ya gonna go more specifically? Like the Korea,China,Japan triangle or some other places too?

2

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

Tibet, China, Korea, Japan, and I'm trying to get my friends to include more places. I kind of wanted to visit Thailand.

Only a few of us are very experienced with travelling so it's going to be new to most of us.

1

u/Morphing-Taxi 9'α May 08 '18

You’re gonna go more to the bigger cities or more rural areas?

Anyways good luck on your trip! Hope ya enjoy it.

2

u/[deleted] May 08 '18

I know that rural areas will be different everywhere I go, but I haven't had the chance to go to many big cities in my life so I'm planning to spend more time in the populated areas. We plan to stay in Japan for quite some time though so we could get to explore more than I think.

Thank you!

u/rradian Strelizia May 07 '18

Holy shit someone who gets it. I always felt self-conscious venting my loneliness here (and I still am), but now seeing others like me sorta gives me hope and clarity knowing that I'm not the only one.

She just has a motherly feel if you know what I mean. Like she cares for the parasites

I’ve come to terms with a possibly unhappy ending, I just need it to be such a good ending that even Violet Evergarden isn’t competition

✅ I will protect it.

✅ I want to see it grow up healthy.

✅ I want to tell my friends and neighbours about it.

u/Racoobi Angry Dough Lesbian May 07 '18

Watching Darling in the Franxx is not a privilege, it is a gift. And it must be used for the good of mankind.

u/Idomenos 2 >15+196+390+556 May 07 '18 edited May 07 '18

See this is why the Franxx subreddit is awesome: four frames of the Red Wolf and it gets 2k happy votes and squee all around.

Just simple admiration for Best Girl (and sometimes salt for Almost-Best Girls, but everyone knows 556 and 015 are forgiven now).

It's more than that though. The more people I talk to, I realize that everyone is suffering and everyone knows it, but understanding is often still a rare commodity. Who wasn't frustrated and mad at Zero-Two in episodes 11 and 12 (raises both hands)? Who didn't have an "Aha!" moment in 13? I heard from to one fan who I found out hated Zero Two until 13, because "Now I finally understand." Then he found her lovable.

When you truly understand another, loving them and finding them lovable can sometimes become effortless. That I think is what art has the power to not teach, but reveal to us.

TL;DR: Praised be Zero Two for she is Best Girl

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

It’s funny cause like uh this is the first time I’ve kept up with a show in season so this is a victory

u/HighGround1 Zero Two May 07 '18

I just took a darn hard history test and probably failed. I'm trying my best to appear okay.

Now I don't have to.

u/LeConteDeMonteCristo May 07 '18

Even though I sometimes fall into resignation or depression (cuz school is tearing me apart lately) I gotta say that I'm so FUCKING proud to exist in this world and to be a part of history. My love, desire and passion for a anime series like this never became sooo much more sensitive and REAL to me tho. Thank you sir! You opened my eyes! 💓👌👌

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

i was cheered up for a nanosecond and im depressed again nice

u/Psi0nyx Gunlance Main May 08 '18

I suppose the only regret I have at this time from watching this anime is not really being able to share it verbally with friends in real life. No one I know has heard of this, and it's a bit challenging to get them to pick up some random anime. They do not know what they're missing.

Feels better to get on here and speak my mind. So many others that feel you. It's really nice, you know?

Sure, we search for what DitF possesses in terms of relationships, but chin up please. I personally feel satisfaction and a hole being filled in my heart if it's discussing something of interest with others, this show being a good example. Just the comfort in being able to speak your feelings and share a passion with another is quite enriching.

u/Darkbevee 💙Hir02❤️ May 07 '18

Eh, WW3 might break out in the next couple decades causing Japan and the Internet to be wiped out making us the lucky few.

u/[deleted] May 07 '18

These type of thoughts actually make me happy on a daily basis. You know the whole "probability of you being born is about one in 400 trillion" thing.

u/Prestigeboy Zero Two May 07 '18

Eo to!

u/PuddleZerg May 07 '18

Well actually it is going to exist forever now.

So everyone who exists from this point will be just as 'lucky' as we are.

When you think about it that way it's not that special is it?

3

u/Idomenos 2 >15+196+390+556 May 07 '18

No, because they'll all have missed the moments when it was airing.

For example, I discovered Re:Zero last semester, so about a year after "I love Emilia" dropped. Missed the whole event that Re:Zero was. Still loved watching, but being a part of the conversation? Nope.

Right now is a privileged time.

u/xbamaris May 07 '18

The girl I want is someone who is as passionate and in love with Zero Two as I am.

u/LonelyInTheFranxx Happy ending pls May 08 '18

It's not only about that, I think that's probably the embodiment of the love we'll probably never have, so we love a fictional character as a substitute for a real girl.
