Gamer Girlfriend?

My girl's quite the gamer, and much more proficient at the old SNES classics than I am.
That being said, I do know the joy you speak of, as I had an absolutely lovely afternoon of a Mother's Day spending time with my mom, teaching her how to play Pikmin. She wasn't all that good, but she really had a lot of fun with it. And isn't that the point, after all?

Doesn't matter to me at all. I had girlfriends who played games with me a couple of times, but it really didn't matter if they did or not. If they played then it was more of an added bonus if anything.
Eh, in my case my girlfriend's not so much a gamer as a comics nerd. So we've got our separate areas, and they're slowly leaching into each other.
Didn´t actively look for a gamer GF, I just came across one... It does make things easier, at least she doesn´t look annoyed/confused when I mention something like "Mumorpoger"
If I had a GF who played games it would most likely be one of these 3 scenarios:
A: She is to good and always wipes the floor with me. Pissing me off.
B: She is not good at all and her incompetence makes me want to scream. Pissing me off.
C: She likes games and has my skill but the games she likes are ones I cant stand like sports, racing, Movie and/or casual games like the freaking retarded Facebook games (Though I do like Bejeweled). Pissing me off.
Though it would be hot as hell if she had my skill and liked the same games as me.

Unfortunately for me I live in a very non-nerd environment. 98% of the people here are more into sports and partying instead of the nerd life. The other 2% are guys, no girls.
I'd love to be in a relationship with someone who plays games (hell, I'd love just to be in a good relationship, gaming is an added plus.) I don't ask for a girl who has beaten Mass Effect or plays WoW (that'd be really cool though) but someone who at least understands games and doesn't get pissed off at WoW like my previous girlfriend who I cut down my time on that game A LOT for.

Why aren't there girls like you where I live? I'd have a friend with double x chromosomes that I can actually talk to about things I know without them not knowing what the hell I'm talking about.Sydust said:
I have the same situation. She plays games of course (the overwhelming majority of people my age play games), but she has little interest in the sorts of games I tend to play. Still, we did get some good entertainment when I pulled out my SNES so we could play Zombies Ate My Neighbors.JRCB said:
My fiancée enjoys games almost as much as I do, but she's a bit pickier about what to play and when. I enjoy single-player games on the whole along with some multiplayer ones, but she likes to play single-player games socially. For an example, Oblivion. A great game by most metrics. She, however, won't play it unless someone else in the room with her is also playing it. It makes the status updates, strategy ideas, and "WOO A LEVEL" all on-topic for discussion, something she greatly appreciates (I guess talking to somebody about Oblivion when they're playing Minecraft wouldn't go so great, huh).
Well, my girlfriend is a gamer, through and through. Sometimes, I'd actually like to see her play less games.Mr. Google said:
Obviously, I am a gamer, and I love playing games with her. Some of the primary titles we played together were/are:
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
League of Legends
Lineage II
World of Warcraft (Thankfully no more..)
If I could name one game that really brought us together, that really felt amazing to play with someone you truly love, it was definitely Left 4 Dead 1.
We each individually clocked around 150-200+ hours in L4D1 across 2008/2009, mostly doing co-op expert campaigns and some solid versus.
L4D2 we've both only done about 100 hours each by comparison, but we've still had a lot of fun with it.
Anyway, yeah, it can be a sweet thing, but there are two sides to every coin. Don't forget that.
My current Gf is a gamer. But she leans towards casuals (puzzle games, mostly). She's good at them, so I can't blame her. The thing is, I don't really play them. I like shooters and rpgs mostly. She does like rpgs, though. She beat dragon age original, and has become a fan of the series. She may not like shooters, but she did beat infamous (which, let's be honest, is kind of a shooter game in a way). Other than that, she doesn't like most games I like.
Heh, I've got 90 hours on Fallout New Vegas as well!
Anyway, yes, I would like to be able to play video games with my significant other. (I'm a girl, so in my case it would be a boyfriend). Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of FPSs. I like RPGs and the like so if there isn't an interesting story, I tend to get bored. The down side to those games is you usually can't play with someone else, so we'd probably have to fight over the controller.
For now, though, I don't have a boyfriend so I've been teaching a non-gamer friend of mine the wonderful worlds of Baldur's Gate and Red Dead Redemption. Yes I know Red Dead Redemption is technically a shooter, but Marston is awesome! And so is autolock. I know, I'm lame

Seeing as about 75% of my life revolves around gaming/game references, it'd be optimal that my future girlfriend had some understanding of what I was talking about.
Except if they're better than me at what I do....

Something to keep in mind, is that there are different kinds of gamers. There are those triple-A titles, and a series of others. The Triple A titles are targeting people that have been gamers for YEARS! There's enough leway for the less experienced, but many of us have experience we draw off of that we're not aware of. Hand eye coordination, multitasking concepts behind combat engagements, and just a whole mess of things. Yeah, you'll girlfriend WILL get better as she plays. 
But in the mean time, I wonder just how much she's enjoying a game she's that confused with. I'd get frustrated, I think.
Anyone that dates me is then dating a gamer girl. My partners have all geeky in some way. (though recent dates have been with a series of different kinds of women, so, I can't speak for all of them in their gamer skills.) I'm down with having a partner that can wipe the floor with my ass in BlazBlue.

Mine isn't a gamer, and isn't interested in anything of the sort, but doesn't mind me being a gamer.
*Jumps in on single gamer girl on the forums* YESSS THANK GOD.Veldaroth said:
Just fuckin' with you.
I got up to Mexico in Red Dead and couldn't be bothered to play it anymore, bored me to tears after that (prior to that, I thought it was amazing by the way.) What part are you up to?
75%? I'm impressed that you came up with a number. Studies have proven this number no doubt? =Pbloodrayne626 said:
