Currently dating a girl who's not a gamer. In fact, one of the first things she asked about me was "you're not a World of Warcraft nerd are you?" I said "I'm a gamer but I don't play WoW." She was like "Well OK, as long as it's not that stupid game."
No prizes for guessing why she broke up with her last boyfriend before me!

As someone going to school to make video games in the near future, (I'm a girl by the way) I would really prefer my boyfriend to play them, at least occasionally. I just think it would be easier to talk to them or relate with them about work, since so much of my life does, and will, revolve around video games. They don't have to be hardcore, just able to carry a decent conversation.
Nope. My girlfriend plays games, but she doesn't have the same passion me and my friends (or you guys) have. But, as long as your partner understands (as mine does) there isn't a reason to dump them.
i use to think yes but.... after you meet a nongamer who appeals to everything else you enjoy you start to grow up and decide being with a girl like this and actually getting some is a lot better then playing 800 hours of halo 3 a game nobody gonna care about when reach hits the market
Well... I'm somewhere in between. I'm a straight male, and though I will not base a decision to date someone on whether they are a gamer or not, I would definitely need my wife to play, or at least appreciate the artistic storytelling aspects of games (but preferably play). It's not just some shallow desire to play video games with my wife, but interactive storytelling is my passion, it's what I want to do in life. I need someone who understands that, and shares that interest.
My current girlfriend is not a gamer, but she is really interested in learning about it. I've gotten her started on a few games to try and figure out where would be easiest to start (she is really new at this: she has trouble grasping the controls of pretty much any game I give her). Basically, I have a clean slate to teach about video games. Someone who understands art and storytelling is asking me to introduce her to the amazing world of interactive fiction. And it's awesome.
