31 [M4F] SoCal/SFV - Looking for someone to make my life more interesting

So as the title says, I'm looking for someone to be in my life, as I'm pretty tired of being forever alone.

At 31, it feels harder to meet women who want to be around someone my age, even if I'm still young at heart. I've been on dating sites before, but I usually get no responses, or in the rare few cases I do get to talk, chat or even meet someone in real life, they have some serious issues that they suddenly bring up and then take it out on me before they walk away and disappear from my life after a date or two. Even texting/calling goes from constant to suddenly nothing for no apparent reason, throwing me back into the Forever Alone pit of despair.

The song “Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend” by The Mr. T Experience pretty much is the theme song to my love life.

Its rather depressing when I have to spend my free time in front of the computer at home and looking at the phone that never rings while my friends post about parties they attended, new relationships, date night photos and events they went to. I don't want to just spend another night at home alone and questioning what went wrong in my life to make me a longtime member of the Forever Alone club. I want to be able go out and do stuff with someone, talking about new and old anime, trying new food, singing our hearts out at a local karaoke place and enjoying our time together or at least have a meaningful conversation on the phone with someone who isn't going to just throw me away like garbage after one date or a few text conversations.

I'm tired of feeling like everyone but me is entitled to be in a relationship with someone. I'm tired of wondering if the day when I will be with a girl who wants to be with me will ever come and end the loneliness or am I destined to remain alone for the rest of my life while even your typical Scumbag Steve can get himself a girl whenever he wants.

Simply put, I want to end being forever alone once and for all, so I can raise my head and say that I am worthy enough for a girl to be with me.

So about me:

• I'm Asian / White

• About 6'1, about average weight (though I'm in the process of dropping some weight), non-smoker, rarely drinks

• I live in the San Fernando Valley

• I wear glasses

• I'm currently going to school full time to get my Bachelor's degree in accounting. I had been working full time as a cook for a few years, but I realized that working for low wages, no holidays or weekends off and feeling burnt out all the time isn't a way to live nor meet new people.

• I like cooking and baking, which is the main reason why I worked as a cook for a few years

• I love anime and manga and go to anime conventions when I can. Yet, I end up feeling like a wallflower at the conventions since I don't know anyone else who goes and it feel like its hard to talk to fellow attendees, especially since I'm getting older and the attendees are getting younger and seem more introverted.

• I also like photography and do cosplay photography when I go to anime conventions.

• I like playing video games, though I'm not really a hardcore gamer. But I'm always down for new suggestions or trying out multiplayer with someone. Even better, maybe we can take a trip to Round One and play games there.

• I enjoy learning foreign languages, playing guitar, karaoke. bowling and trying out new restaurants.

So what am I looking for:

• Someone who isn't a flake. Believe me, I've met and had to deal with more flakes than anyone should ever have to. I can promise you that I will never flake on you, so I would expect you to do the same.

• Someone who love anime and manga as much as or even more than me. I mean someone who actually knows more anime than just the couple of anime shows they saw dubbed back in Jr. high on Toonami and forgot about since. Someone who actually keeps up with anime/manga and can actually recommend a good series that actually airing (or just finished airing). Its just a lot easier for me to relate to someone who actually likes anime/manga and keeps up with it than someone who doesn't. If you don't watch anime or read manga at all and absolutely don't have any interests in trying them out, please do not reply.

• If you cosplay and/or go to anime conventions, that's even more awesome, since I would like someone who wants to go conventions with me and if you cosplay, I would like to improve my photography skills.

• Someone who loves food as much as I do and wants to try something other than McDonalds or something that came out of a microwave at a 7-11.

• Someone in SoCal who is in or at least is able to drive to the SFV. Of course I can drive and we could meet somewhere halfway or I could meet you in your area if you're not too far away, but I don't want to have to constantly drive out if you're more than an hour and a half away from me and don't even have a car.

• Someone who is capable of starting a conversation and keep it going, as well as being a great listener. I'd rather have a girl talk my ear off than me trying to talk to a brick wall with the conversation going nowhere. I've been told that I'm a great listener, so I would hope that I can also be listened to as well.

• Someone who is actually capable of writing a message out. The last few times I talked with someone who couldn't write more than “'K”, “Yeah”, “Yeah, its cool.”. I'm not looking for an college level essay, but it would be nice to see some thought and effort put into a response.

• Someone who actually has time to hang out with me. As much as I like texting and calling, I also want someone I can actually go out and see in person at some point.

• Someone who knows to leave their personal drama at home. I get that people have past issues with their exes, but I don't want to be treated like a punching bag and be treated like crap because your ex boyfriend was a total douchebag to you and you don't have any other outlet get that drama out.

• Someone who is between 21 and 34 years old, doesn't smoke, isn't shallow and doesn't have kids.

Really, all I'm asking for is a nice, normal girl who shares my interests, which I don't think is asking for too much. I have never flaked on anyone before, I am always loyal, I am a great listener and at the very least I can be a good friend. So my hope is that you have some common interests with me, actually know to make conversation, are loyal and you're not shallow or a constant flake. I want someone I actually can relate to rather my exact polar opposite.
