Ah, to be a weeb in love! Or well, find another person that can listen to your waifu/husbando ramblings without complaint. Sadly, some of us are not so lucky to find someone like that in the wild. Which is probably why the concept of dating websites even exists. But what about dating anime websites? Specifically for anime lovers like you and I? Is that a little cringe? Maybe. But who wouldn’t like to be with someone you could share your interests with?
There aren’t very many anime dating websites exclusively made for anime and manga enthusiasts out there. But the market is definitely there, with sites like MaiOtaku being in the running since at least 2009. Other sites usually include being an anime fan as a filter to more finetune your dating pool, like with eHarmony. But if you’re looking for a Sophie Hatter on the search for a Howl Pendragon that isn’t as flaky?
Look no further. These are some of the best anime dating websites for you to find you weeb soulmate, in yet another round of Get Ranked!

7. MaiOtaku
MaiOtaku is probably the oldest anime–exclusive dating website on this list. And for good reason, it’s been around since the late 2000s. And the layout kind of matches the vibe here. Think of it as Anime MySpace, where you can fill out profiles but write on other people’s profiles too.
Despite it being marketed specifically at people looking for a romance, they also have an option to just make new friends or even find people to buddy up with for your next anime convention!
6. Coffee Meets Bagel
There is something to be said about how female geeks tend to feel more apprehensive on dating sites versus the male geeks. And so, Coffee Meets Bagel is the perfect app for them.
Thanks to its paid membership only access, Coffee Meets Bagel helps anime weebs connect through a genuine conversation rather than just straight up swiping. Best part? You can only connect with someone if both of you swiped right on each other, which filters out any creepy messages coming unsolicited.
5. eHarmony
Okay, we’ve all heard of eHarmony before but did you know they had an anime and geek specific filter too? The best part about eHarmony is its frankly huge database of potential suitors.
Like, with around 20 million users and 600,000 happy matches, there’s bound to be someone for everyone here. Moreover, this is a free website. The Basic membership costs nothing and its higher tiers are relatively cheap for an annual payment!
4. Match.
Match. has 2 of the strongest assets in its favor: 30 million people, all looking for love, and an interest based filter. While it isn’t specifically an anime exclusive dating website, it does allow the option to seek those with similar hobbies and passions.
And you don’t have to commit with a swipe immediately, because you can just search up different dating profiles using specific keywords and find someone you can genuinely get along with.
3. Snack
This is one of the newest dating websites around, but it’s special because it is an anime and geek exclusive dating app and available across Google Play and Apple Store. Snack is a super cute app that is more focused on getting people to know each other rather than just shallowly swiping at a picture.
Instead of the swipe system, members upload short videos introducing themselves and it really makes the connection feel a little more real. Though, one of the coolest things about Snack is how it covers not only anime, but video games and cosplayers too!
2. SoulGeek
Okay, does the name SoulGeek make someone else feel like we’re talking about some lost NES RPG from the 90s? Nope, just me? Alright then. SoulGeek is, like, the dream layout for older geeks into anime. A self proclaimed ‘cyber home’, SoulGeek aims to connect love of all things nerdy.
That includes anime, obviously, but even enthusiasts of the fantasy genre or sci-fi lovers can hope to find like minded people through the dating website. It curates possible matches and sends them to you via newsletter, so there’s no time limit on a response!
1. Geek Meet Club
We love an anime dating website that actually feels modern and enjoyable in equal spades. And GeekMeetClub is a new offering on the market for anyone looking for a dating app with a little more personality and a lot less restriction.
Because sometimes, you might not necessarily be looking for love, but just like minded folk that you can form a connection with. And then fall in love with them, like one of your favorite anime tropes. But really GeekMeetClub is perfect for weebs and nerds alike, with a heavy focus on being as inclusive as possible!
So, if you think you’ve been lacking in love? Maybe you just weren’t looking in the right places. Regardless, maybe you can try your luck at some of these anime dating websites and finally find the Orihime Inoue to your Ichigo Kurosaki.
Or the Geto Suguru to your Gojo Satoru. We don’t judge. Happy connecting!
