/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Heyah there /cgl/
how do I trap? (I'm a girl,wanting to look more like an androgynous male)
I won't post pic but i can describe or find someone similar (way too shy to post a pic of myself on 4chan)

>How does one get an otaku bf on a con?
Srsly? Simply by being a girl... show that you are nerdy but social at the same time and they will come swarming.

>Do I need to cosplay?
No necessarily, especially if it's your first con. It's a bit "safer" to check everything out before doing it. But if you feel up to the task... do it.

>I'm also awkward in a non cute way.
Tomoko Kuroki Level awkward?

Be as self-confident as possible and just chat up to guys that interest you. If they cosplay, talk about that, if they stand at a certain booth maybe hit that up. And since you'r new to anime, hit that up as well and ask for recommendations etc.
It's really not that hard as a girl, if you are at least a 6/10 they will hit on you anyway.

You already have the looks for her.

I've had a substantial lolita wardrobe (11+ brand dresses, blouses, accessories etc. etc.) for five years now, most of which I've never worn outside of the house. I really think I'm too ugly for it half the time. And although I 'fit' the clothes, I'm a fat pear shape. I just don't think I'll ever be pretty enough to live up to the magic I feel when I buy them, but they make me happy when I look at them.

I'm a sad person ok

>be a fat sixteen year old, into lolita for about half a year and self conscious as fuck
>do my best to start wearing coords out in everyday life, very mixed results
>go to walmart with my father to buy a couples of things
>three mexican bros start laughing at me
>they take my picture without my permission
>"dude I cant wait to post this to facebook"
>catcalls, bo peep, pointing, etc.
>everyone in the store staring at me
>n-no.jpg
>courtsie and leave rather distraught
>cry in the car with my father
>vow to lose weight and become more confident

Honestly I think that day hardened my resolve more than anything. I'm glad I didn't give up; every outing has been wonderful since!
