not a disguise. think about this, every human has the fear of the unknow. What's the stereotype that everyone have of otakus, in general? yeah. so my advice is to show that you are a human as everyone else, who happens to like anime, but it isn't the base of your life. and that "bullshit" works at least for me.
a personal example:
A girl who I met months ago in a party (she was talking with a friend, I joined the conversation, after some cigars and normal talk I got her e-mail)we talk very often now and one time she talked to me while I was watching amagami (that's why I chosed this example), I noticed it like 15 minutes after, I apologized and said I was watching something, she ask what and I say "some anime, I don't know if you like that kind of stuff" she asked me what anime I was watching and I sent her some youtube videos.
What's my point? if a woman have some feeling for you, she will disregard his preconceptions of anime (or any other thing) and maybe give it a try... well it's hard to explain, if you want someone to likes you, you should not first try to make she likes whats you like, FIRST OF ALL you make her likes you, THEN what you like.
as I said before, i'm not a native english speaker, so I don't know if you totally get my point. you are NOT anime, you are you and happens that you like anime, like you like other things too.
