Never had one, never will as I see no need for a kiss, let alone a relationship.
Just a waste of time if you ask me.
2D offers everything a relationship offers without the pain.
I would tend to disagree. I havne't had the time nor the effort to search for someone to be with, nor have I really purisued any girl. However, I have had the luck of finding persons that I devoloped feelings for naturally, and luckily they did too, no real effort spent, because it never felt forced, our friendships just grew into something more. For me at least, having someone you really like, that likes you back doesn't feel like a waste of energy or time at all, you actually crave spending time with that person, being close to them. It also helps you grow as a person, when you get to know someone so well you start to learn more about yourself too. As for 2D offering everything else excluding the pain I'd say you're way off. If you substitute real life relationships for cartoons, it might just fill the void enough to get by, but the pain is there, it's quite evident in most hikikomori/otaku-dense places, where everyone seems either depressed or so deep into their escapism that it hurts themselves and those around them (etiher sooner or later). Sorry, I don't mean to sound preachy, I just had to write my take on it. The way I perceive things might be way off, so if you completely disagree with me; fair enough mate.
