My ideal man isn't real

My boyfriend introduced me to this vintage (from the 80s) anime show, and I started getting really into it. Problem is, after a while a new character was introduced, and I kind of have a crush on him. But it's a cartoon! It's not real! Not only is it physically (although guys who look like that in real life do nothing for me), but his personality and everything, he's so ideal.

What can I do to get over a stupid and pathetic cartoon crush?

    I found this forum by seaching fake feelings.
    I do not usually lie or fake to womans, but if makes she feels better i would.
    Look for someone with my skills(if i do not tell you about that, you would never know because i fake a lot good).

    I love Bayonetta, she's sexy! I also have this little crush on Chloe from the game Uncharted 2.

    No worries! I get those all the time, it's just being a fangirl. It's actually a really common thing, though alot of people on this site aren't quite used to the idea, as I have learned. If you think it becomes a serious issue in your life, or lasts to long, you can try to seek out help from a therapist. But for now, just take it easy. It's a normal thing and happens to many people.

    Envy from Fullmetal Alchemist is the current one. I'm not normal, but I believe the habit is. I mean, look at all the Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson fangirls! You'll get over it, don't worry~

    When I was a teen I totally had a crush on Trent from the cartoon Daria. There are guys in real life who emulate your ideal; you just haven't met them yet.

    You will, given time. Loads of people get "cartoon crushes." If you think about it, it's not that different from getting a crush on a character from a movie - they might be played by a real, live actor, but the character isn't real. Don't stress it.

  • Girl I feel your pain. I used to be in love with a whole lot of hot anime guys. The sex dreams about them were so good I would cry when I woke up.
