This might seem like a deja vu to you, but that's because I posted about a month ago, but I forgot what the thread was. But basically I'm posting this because things have gone for the worse and I really badly need advice.

So basically, I seem to only be attracted to girls who are obsessed with The Legend of Zelda like me.

A few weeks ago I met this girl in my class who is very sweet and quite honestly, I feel I might have a shot with her if I put in some effort. And at first I felt like going for it.
However my brain came to its "senses" and figured since she doesn't like Zelda, then she's no good. And I'm honestly really sad by this.

I know I make a big deal out of mentioning Zelda but I think that in general there is a bigger underlying problem. I am a part of a minority since my parents are immigrants in this country and for a few years I've only gone for girls who were culturally similar to me. As in girls who grew up with the same culture and traditions as me. This was a big deal to me and I refused to date outside of my culture. This was by the way completely my desire, my parents never pressured me into this. I feel it was a part of my "identity crisis" that many immigrant kids go through, growing up.

Well, I dated a few girls who were culturally compatible with me however things turned bad and in general I stopped caring for my parents culture so I decided that I no longer wanted to date girls from my parents culture.
However without noticing it, I must have replaced the cultural requirement with the gaming requirement. Now the girl had to share the same passion for Zelda as me since that gaming series meant a lot to me, growing up.

Basically, what I think this is, is me being attracted to girls I have things in common with. And not just any things, it has to be things that mean a lot to me.
But of these requirements have meant that my dating pool is extremely small and honestly, I wish I could stop thinking like this.
But I can't. For instance this girl I met in my class, since we don't have Zelda in common, the fear of later meeting a girl who does like Zelda will result in me getting really jealous and feel like I "settled" when I could have gotten my dream girl, somebody with the same passion in common.
I honestly don't know how to deal with this. It's not just something I can switch off. All I can think about is just meeting a girl who shares the same love for Zelda as me and I feel like that's the only way to get over this.

So this is only for taking actual photos and not digitally manipulating them? I couldn't find a photoshop/program area on here.

Have you read the forum or did you just post hoping it would match your expectations
