I actually met my girlfriend of 7 months on okcupid.com as well. She's not exactly a fan of animals without legs, but she likes me for me, and accepts that they're a part of my life. She's coming around a bit though, and as long as they're less than 100g, she doesn't mind holding them.
I'm sure things will work out for you and as people have said, take time for yourself and someone great will come along when you least expect it!
