How does your girlfriend cope with your gaming?

My GF is a bigger gamer then me she plays D&D xD and now i play it to appease the women *rolls 1d20*

Simple. My girlfriend happens to be a gamer as well. Every girl I've EVER dated was into video games too.

Hell, Bloody Roar Primal Fury got me one of the happiest relationships I ever had. xD

when i had one she didnt mind at all. when she would text me asking what i was up to and i told her i was gaming she would always insist on texting me later.

Don't worry, i haven't ever asked one out either...or had one...lonely...(though i am 13 :O )

Mine isn't a gamer, but she doesn't mind. Different people like different things. Although she likes watching me play certain ones, more story involved ones, like mass effect. The deal is, I can play video games when she's around as long as we sort of cuddle while doing it...she called it a compromise....more like win-win situation. And for the people who are saying " I don't have a girlfriend woe is me" I was in the same boat til this one arrived. It's better to find a good girl rather than just test the waters all the time.

I'll let you know once I get a girlfriend.

Godspeed.

My imaginary girlfriend doesn't like video games very much, I keep giving her the controller but she always immediately drops it.

Yes, same with my XboxGirl, everytime i push her button she makes a weird noise and glows.

Hopefully most people will have the presence of mind and social aptitude to do something other than sit on their backside playing Dragon Age while their neglected other half weighs the pros and cons of the relationship! I've learned that being a "Gamer" doesn't mean you have to be a one-note hybrid of man and console. Just as well, because it isn't a paticularly attractive motif to adopt!

The best advice I can give is to keep the controller out of the relationship; find things she enjoys and do them together. If she's also into gaming then all the better, but don't use that as an excuse to avoid doing other things too.

your quite right i think people forget that games were meant to be recreational and not really a life style
im 90% sure someone will have some comeback to this im not sure why

Well considering she is still in bed 3 hours after we've woken up because she is on Facebook games, I don't think she minds me gaming.

I am the girlfriend soooo if im with a guy whos a gamer, i dont have to cope, so to speak. If he is as capable as me of tearing himself away from games, theres no problem. As long as he can balance social life + gaming, s'all good. If he cant make time in his busy gaming life to see me then hes told exactly where to go.

Pretty much in the same boat. I can play as long as she can sit on my lap and watch. It's kinda irritating. but better than no gaming at all.

While I game, she will make teddy bears and other stuffed toys. I've yet to convince her to play Little Big Planet, I feel she'd enjoy that game.
