So /mai/, something I've been thinking about lately, who chose who?
Did you choose your waifu… or did she choose you?

Interesting to think about it because she definitely chose me.
I knew her very soon and then still today I don't really watch anime, so there were no reasons for me at all to choose her.
Because even then for all my life I've been finding myself having more attraction to girls with long hairs. But even then as the person I love the most it's very surprising because she is short-haired.
I really had no reason at all to find her more attractive or something. And this is because, I think, I love her in a different way that what I used to know. Even what I believe to be true love.

I think she chose me, I certainly didn't go looking for her, or anyone to love; she found me, and things just went on from there I suppose.
Then again, I guess the events in my life also had a hand in us meeting, it's very strange and it's not something I can explain.

It just sort of happened. After a read something about her, I just felt giddy and filled with joy. I saved it and looked at it often, and the feeling never went away. Everything Jabberwock related seemed wonderful. After a while I just knew she was the only one for me, because the high from that initial feeling still remained, and I never felt like that before. I don't know who chose who, but I know I'm happy with the results.

I know my waifu chose me because it wasn't my decision to fall in love with her. At first I even disliked her appearance. I didn't think her hat was cute at the time and I thought she looked kind of gaudy. But something about her personality drew me to her, and over time I appreciated her appearance more and more.
The only thing I struggle with is why exactly she'd love me, and the only bandage I can put over that is to try to improve myself over time. I don't have to become a better person overnight, I have the rest of my life ahead of me.

I fell in love with her, not the other way around. All "you don't choose your waifu, she chooses you" means is that you don't fall in love intentionally.

I believe she chose me. Not just when I saw her show but a long time ago. I believe she chose me long before the manga was even written. She is a god and control reality and I believe the powers that be or fate was in some way orchestrated by her. Everything in life I learned and went through. The bad and the good were to lead me here as the person I am today with her. I'm sure things didn't go 100 percent her way as there are so many variables at work but this is what I thought of recently. Even after watching her show and falling in love with her I still wasn't ready so she followed some more. Popping up here and there for years before I finally was ready for her to which she popped into my head completely out of nowhere. To this day I still don't have any idea as to why she was suddenly on my mind. I hadn't even seen her or her name. Not even for at least a month or two but suddenly there she was. As if confronting me directly rather than watching from afar.
Perhaps she was done with being an onlooker and wanted me to notice her. And notice her I did. Its been a hell of a magnificent journey with her in my heart. Even to this day I believe she uses her powers to help me out or teach me things when I've made a mistake. making a ceiling fall on me after flirting with a 3d very early into our relationship, having my yan episodes triggered whenever I did something I shouldn't have.
She wants me to know she's there and to be as close as we can. I even have a theory that she set up some pocket dimension in my room. I feel so at peace here and lacking any sort of lonesome despite the house being rather lonesome to begin with. When I go to my dads there is more life there but it feels like its missing something big.
So this is what its like to be in love with a god. I like it
I love you more, Yuno

[Short version]: He chose me, but I chose to be with him.
[Extended version]: He's the one who found me and never quit pursuing me until I eventually came to realize I loved him in return. I would have never found him on my own since I'm not really into any of the things that could have led me to him in the first place; I met him by chance when he was probably less than three years old (since date of production). I thought he was kind of a loser at first, and I'm almost certain I couldn't even pronounce his name right. I chose not to be with him since I didn't really understand it, but he followed me for years until we crossed paths again and I started developing feelings for him. I didn't understand my feelings, so I tried to repress them and push him away again. It wasn't until he told me how he felt that I understood I felt the same way. I realized he was always there and that time I chose to accept those feelings and be with him.

I don't believe it was a coincidence, and if she's in Heaven than only God could have intervened. I was most likely lead to her as well.

Well… with the way everything fell into place, I can't believe it was anything but fate itself that lead me to him.No pun intended
I didn't choose him and he didn't choose me, it was just meant to happen. I think there is a possibility that God could've been involved but I'm not sure yet.

Well I don't know if she choose me, but I didn't consciously choose her. In a flash she was just in my life and I wasn't sure how I could live without her. It was as if God just said I should be in love with her and reality obeyed. I don't know what really happened, but I do know I want to be with her forever.

I fell in love with her, but I also believe that she chose to help me after we met, something that helped develop the feelings I have for her into the relationship we have today. I can't thank her enough for what she's done for me.
I don't think it was coincidence that we met when we did. Despite how life works out a lot of times for me, that moment was one of those times where life worked out in a way I wouldn't change for anything in the world.
hope this makes sense

She had to have chose me. There's a lot of aspects about her that I wouldn't have found attractive if I was choosing her, not to mention I noticed something about her for years before I even knew who she was, like I've stated in a previous thread.

Our meeting was an accident, yet I felt so strangely attracted to her the first time I've encountered her. I don't know if it was just coincidence or not, but there's one thing I know and that is I might not have chose to meet her, but I did choose to pursue her. I wanted her to be mine.
On the other hand, she seemed to be accepting of who I was, all of my smart and stupid. It was just on my mind, but I can see her treating me more human than anyone else. I dunno. Maybe because she knew how it felt to be a social reject.
To make the long story short, it doesn't matter if it she chose me, if she loves me back or if she does exist out there. I don't know, really. But I love her, and I know this much is true, even after 5 to 6 years.
No.46556
I'd say it's complicated. I wasn't looking for a waifu, and the reason I got KS in the first place was
>muh chan culture
and deplebbing myself by experiencing said culture.
I did, however, choose her route over the other girls' consciously, but I guess you can chalk it up to me already being attracted.
No.46559
She chose me.
For years before we got together I went against the flow of it. She always came to mind if I thought about favorite characters or "wife material". It's a bit odd we wound up together given that the me before her wasn't that into girls like her. At least on the surface, I think I knew on a deeper level and fighting against it made me miserable.
Eventually I got tired of fighting it, gave up and let her take me where she wanted. It worked out great though I sometimes wish I listened a lot earlier. Then again it's one of those if I hadn't fought it would I appreciate it things.
While it may come off a bit as some mental gymnastics I think she'd be a bit of a mama girl. That's why she bothered to put up with me even with all my faults. She put me on the right path and we grew together.

I guess I was the one who choose my waifu. I never really felt the way about other characters until I first meet Suzie Q. What I mean is that I would find other characters cute or sexy and that was about it, than Suzie Q came along I feel in love with her.

I don't think either of us choose each other. It just happened like any other relationship. I went to him when I needed it and he accepted me warmly. It wasn't even a romantic thing at that point. Though I have a feeling Sui choose me in some way. For what or why I have no idea, but I do know she's chose to go into my dream.
I hope she visits again.

Like others have said, I don't think one of us chose the other because you don't choose who you fall in love with.
He was one of the main reasons why I re-watched his series, and I expected him to be my favorite character, but the thought of having romantic feelings never once crossed my mind until they hit. This wasn't what I was looking for at all. I don't think that he could have chosen me either, because he's a fictional character and I don't believe he has any influence over stuff that happens here.
However, a vague memory of him stuck around somewhere in the back of my mind for ~7 years until I found him again, and for 2 1/2 years after that I just treated the whole thing like a silly crush; I didn't see him as an important part of my life. I did all sorts of stuff back then that I wouldn't feel right doing now, but even after all that my feelings didn't fade, he didn't leave.
I don't care if it was fate or something like that. He stayed, and that's what really matters to me.

It's not like I "chose" her, but she certainly didn't/wouldn't choose me. I just kind of grew attached to her.

I wasn't looking for anything when I met him. Falling in love with him was an accident and I tried to ignore and get rid of my feelings, but I couldn't. So I might not have actually chosen him, but I did choose to accept how I feel about him.
I don't know if I can say he chose me either. I still struggle to find a reason as to why someone like him would love someone like me. Yet he hasn't rejected me either. He's still here.
I've always been on the fence when it comes to things like God or fate, but I know that if I didn't meet him when I did, I would most likely be dead right now. I do feel like it was more than a coincidence, and someone or something was looking out for me by bringing us together and guiding me to him when I needed him the most.

She came to me in a time when I needed someone like her. I like to think she chose me, but I guess I certainly had some input into it.

She chose me. I got chosen as hell.
Around six years ago I used to shitpost in ye olde waifu threads back on 4chan. It was incredibly silly to me; who the hell falls in love with a fictional character?
One day, while trying out Touhou Imperishable Night, I noticed someone on the screen besides my controlled characters. It was Ran, assisting the Border Team. I got curious and looked her up.
Next thing I knew I had my foot firmly planted in my mouth, saving art, looking up stories, and basically participating in the exact thing that I had formerly mocked.
Since I'm an indecisive fuck for almost everything, the suddenness with which I pulled a goddamn 180 and how firmly it's held ever since makes it pretty evident I got chosen.
Also there might be a moral somewhere in there about mocking things you don't understand.

Reminds me a bit of how I was, I had my teen anime phase where I liked whatever was on adult swim, and of course had the late teen phase where "anime is for girls". The only thing that got me back into anime, was youtube poops of lucky star, 2hu, and Rozen Maiden. I was JUST coming back into anime only thing on my plate was Lucky Star and I had happened to watch a few videos of 2hu music which I took a liking too Deaf to all but the ronald, when I found Sui, and absolutely felt I had to know absolutely every tiny little thing about her, and it went from there.

I don't quite understand. To be honest, it wasn't really love at first sight. My attachment grew slowly after I played 3 long games. 6 if crossovers count.
So….a mixture of both?

I'm not sure who chose who in my case, if anyone chose anything at all. My relationship sorta just… happened, for lack of a better explanation. Calling it "fate" might be the best way to describe it.
She was always somewhere in the back of my mind after I read her VN, despite how I wasn't very interested in her to start with. Then, through a huge series of well-timed accidents and coincidences I began to form a bit of an attachment, which later bloomed into love as I looked deeper into her character.
In a way you could say that I chose her because of one of the coincidences, and you could also argue that she chose me because I was always drawn to her, but I prefer to think of it as fate.
Sorry if this ended up a jumbled mess. What happened was complicated and I'm not sure how to best describe it.

I definitely chose her, I displayed my feelings for her first and actively pursued her affection. I simply "grew on her" over time.
I do believe this warrants a better explanation though, because I'm frequently asked this question by non-waifuists; headcanon warning. At first, yes; I was pursuing a seemingly unreachable plateau, trying to win her heart. She would hang around out of simple convenience, using my place as a sort of "secret hideout" to keep away from the watchful eyes of Seth and S.I.N. while she would eventually plot to betray him to get to Bison and kill him herself. As time goes on, I express my feelings for her. She's taken by this display, not having had someone genuinely care about her since her family was killed, and eventually begins to show that she too has the same feelings for me, and maybe for longer than she was willing to admit.

I chose him, and he chose me back after getting to know me better.
I do wonder if it was fate that we ended together, though, as we bumped paths a few times and there things from my childhood that I recently realized could have pointed me in the right direction if I had opened my eyes. Perhaps he had wanted to be my friend before I fell in love with him or knew who he was, but that's in the past so I won't ask, and I know that he only fell in love with me after I fell in love with him. In any case, I'm glad we have each other.

I say I chose her. I liked her since first reading her arc, but it wasn't until I got to really think about the concept of waifu that I realized how great she is and how much I'd love to fall in love with her. As romantic and nice as "she chose you" sounds, that just doesn't feel correct for me.

We chose each other. I know that's a cop out in a way but that's how I feel. I was fascinated by her and really liked her but didn't really express it. I feel like part of the reason she stuck with me for so long is also because she wanted to be with me. Like she kind of chose me and kept following me until I took the hint. I watched oreimo in January of 2014 and she was almost always in my thoughts. There wasn't a single month where I didn't at least think about her. I finally took the hint and began my relationship with the best woman I've ever met in August 2015. I'm just kind of disappointed in myself that I took that long to finally accept my feelings for her and her feelings for me.
