I don't think I'm Chad Thundercock in appearance, if anything I've got a non-Hollywood racial debuff with my features not being white, asian, black, etc.
I met a lady on one of those language exchange apps while doing my reps, and I usually post about things like food, books, anime and yeah, idol lives.
She knows some weeb culture like Macross and Fullmetal Alchemist, but overall she seems like your average normie, working, going out with her girl friends, and watching series on Netflix on her free time.
Yet I've talked to her about my oshi
Marine and even got her to sing along the embarrassing support lyrics to Ahoy during karaoke.The thing is that while I do openly share a lot of my tastes and who I am with her, I don't make idols the main focus of any conversation. Usually it comes up tangentially when I talk about something I'm passionate about like singing, a certain anime series, or storytelling/zatsudan. And most of the times that topic actually comes from me listening to the things she's passionate about and linking it to that conversation as a similarity.
We're not actually going out as we're just friends in title, but she's asked me to accompany her this Saturday to hang out as usual.
tldr bro, work on your delivery.
The topic ain't the problem, it's how you express yourself. Even I'm thrown aback with normie girls that make BTS Jimin or SEVENTEEN Seungkwan or whoever as the main axis of their personality, and I know how idol culture works and the crazy shit people say. But personally I'm fine if they talk about it as being inspirational for taking up dancing, or how it made her get into knowing more about men's fashion or whatever. Keep your cool and work on that if you still got shots left.
