Dating a girl who likes Yaoi. Please advise

I don't know many girls that like Yaoi (male on male anime), but I'm sort of seeing a girl who's a big fan of Yaoi stuff. What is the mentality going in that I could expect? How should I bring it up in a conversation? And do girls read it for the romantic comedy stuff or is there more to it? Btw, I'm going on a first date with her next week. We're not together yet.

  • As a young, heterosexual female you likes Yaoi, I can honestly say that you have nothing to worry about. Most of the time, girls just read it for the completely fluffy and adorable romance involved and the hilarity that often ensues. There's no deeper psychological issue at play here, and you don't have to worry about her wanting you to watch it with her - she won't even expect you to understand why she likes it. The most you possible have to worry about is her potentially fangirl-ish tendencies involving squealing in ecstatic happiness whenever she encounters a particularly adorable example of Yaoi. Chances are she won't bring it up in conversation, and if she does... honestly, most girls who like Yaoi know that it's an awkward subject for guys - and even other girls - and will try to avoid it until they know you're position on it. And that usually only applies to other girls. If she's talking about it on a first date - which is the only way it should come up on a first date, I'm sorry to say that this girl has no sense of appropriate social interaction and you should probably call it quits after the first date. If it doesn't come up on the first date but does come up later on, maybe try asking her what she enjoys about Yaoi, and admitting if it makes you uncomfortable for her to talk about it with you. She'll probably understand.

  • Don't even touch on the subj. Lol. I mean unless she openly discusses its all good. I used to like it too.. But its pron none the less and not something we openly talk about lol.

  • Girls do watch it because it's cute and it turns them on!

  • You would be interested in knowing that an underground survey conducted on individuals who partake in this "Yaoi stuff" are overwhelmingly young, heterosexual females.

    Google scholar it, there is a fair amount of research floating around out there.
