I play games far more than he does. But he seems to like the fact I always have the latest releases. Occasionally he'll get into a game, but no where near as much as lovely me.

My girlfriend doesn't mind me gaming. She likes sitting and watching me play, or she'll ask me if I want to play such-and-such game so she can watch. XD

She's not the best gamer herself, but she's getting better, has fun and lets me help her. She does backseat-game a bit, but she's helped me out a few times (nearly missed a plasmid in Bioshock), so I shouldn't complain!

She respects my choice of hobby (gaming as well as programming) as well as I do respect hers (medieval stuff and some other) so we get along quite nicely. It also is a plus I'm a bit into her hobby as well. But then again, we are together for about 3 weeks now, so it may change somewhere along the line.

She doesn't care as long as I don't ignore her for it, and once in a while we'll play together.

my boyfriend usually swtches his pc on and kicks my ass in whatever i am playing^^ or we just sit next to each other and watch each other play. it's something that connects us rather then seperates us, really :)

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

I had one, but she wasn't with me for that that long. She didn't even know I was a gamer.
Third

At least im not alone in this universe.

What girlfriend?

I'm 19 and in college and have never even asked a girl out.

[sub]God, I'm pathetic.[/sub]
Nah you're not really. First time I went out with a girl was much later than that.
My philosophy has always been if a girl finds my Goldeneye64 skills as anything less than arousing then she's not the girl for me.

My girlfriend plays video games, apparently. I say "apparently" because the only hardcore game she plays is L4D. She does ***** me out for playing D&D, even though she has never played it before in her life. She's one of those people who believe everything they have heard from rumor AND one of those people who don't ever try anything new. I don't want to be with her anymore...

It is not an issue. She is in college in England, so I only see her, say, once a month. By that time, all I'm intrested in is getting her knickers off! :)

I think my fiance' is quite tolerant, considering I sink a lot of hours into gaming, I think she finds the fact that I'm a geek rather endearing.
My girlfriend's more or less the same, though I go through phases of sinking loads of hours into gaming and then hardly any at all. It usually depends on what else is on in my life. Back to the point, I suspect she'll support anything that keeps me away from the pub ;)

She's fine with it. She understands that I am a geek and that is what I do when I'm at home. Key phrase: "at home." It doesn't stop me from seeing her and even if she calls while I'm playing I normally don't mind stopping to pick it up. Usually we talk through text so its even less of a problem.
I'm slowly easing her into this strange world. She's teetering on the borders of "purchaser of Imagine Babies" and "plays Layton in between Pokémon training." Although she did manage to get herself onto WoW a few weeks ago with no input.

I usually end up playing whatever MMO my girlfriend plays. Unfortunately it usually makes me jump games a lot, but whatever keeps her happy.
