I thought of High Fidelity for this one. Rob is a guy who is obsessed with his record collection. He reorganizes his thousands of records when he's bored (alphabetically, chronologically, chronologically by his life experiences, etc.), doesn't like other people to touch them and is passionate and neurotic about every one of them.
This carries over into his life and affects his relationships - Laura, the girl he's seeing, calls him out on it and he doesn't seem to mind. To him, music and his records are his life.
Anyway. I don't know if I could stand dating Rob. I looooove music and obsess over it, but it seems like he's married to his music and only dating Laura.
But on the other hand, if that's what he does in his downtime, who am I to question that? I have my own neurotic obsessions (namely
American Idol back in the day - my BFF and I would make lists of our favorite performances, list every contestant ever on the show, watch the videos over and over, quote it, everything) and I'm sure it was obnoxious, but it's what we loved to do.
Would you date someone so obsessed with a collection that it interfered with his or her daily life?

If I was certain he'd have enough time for me and not spend all his time obsessing, then sure.
Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes!
They'll have a life other than me, and that's sexy to me. Not only that, but I won't have to be around them ALL the time. I don't care what other people say; you shouldn't have to be around someone all the time with no downtime.
it wud depend on wut he wuz collektin now wudnt it
No, it wouldn't be a bad thing to me because it shows they love something enough for that. And what more, if they let me touch it/handle it, it'd show how much they trust me. It's an awesome thing for people to have collecitions and let it effect their lives because it may be their anchor. It's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't see it as a bad thing.
I don't think I would. Unless he could put it aside and give me the time of day. And let me touch it. Because the more he puts the "do not touch" ... the more I will do it :D
Uhmm... Dunno,that's not normal, he'd need therapy!!
Yes, especially if it were something I enjoyed. Why not? It's good to be passionate.
I don't have anything to add to this except damn, I love that movie.
Yes. I've an obsessive collection myself.
of course not.
definitely depends on the collection... if a guy had a record (or anything music related) collection, id date him.
I heard about this British guy who's been obsessed with solving the Rubik's cube all his life. He married his wife but kept the cube in his pocket all the time. The wife felt like she was married to the cube and her husband. And when he finally solved it after more than 20 years, he cried. Attractive, no? NO.
