 you know what. who cares if you play the stupid computer games lol if its something you enjoy, just keep playing it and if a girl doesnt like you because of that, its her loss. i think its stupid for people just to judge you because you play a computer game or a video game. just continue what you are doing, and you will find a girl that likes you for you. it mite take some time, but dont rush it. good luck =] ~Kristinap.s.my last and only 3 boyfriends that i have had, all played video games. personally, i thought it was very cute. because they got all excited about winning, or getting a new one.

 Some of us girls like to game too. The problem is that when you're playing, you're not out there meeting anyone. Try joining a club or a sport where you can get some exercise and meet people. You don't have to give up gaming, you just need to add other things in there to round out your personality. You don't want a girlfriend who doesn't like what you like anyway.

 You could try cutting down on your game play and go out with your mates - have a laugh (Note down that you don't need alchohol to have fun).
It's true that some girls are attracted to geeks but make sure they know that your life isn't all about WoW and you do have a social life outside of the game.
Also: Desperation isn't really the best way to describe how you feel. I understand how you must feel either fed-up or lonely (I was in the same boat for 19 years (Basically my whole life)) and I know how it feels but you shouldn't let it get you down - enjoy your freedom while it lasts, I finally realised that what I should do and was very happily single 'n' loving it. So enoy the freedom while you have it cos it's not gonna be forever.

A lot of my friends play WoW and they are all like 18.. Don't worry, girls won't think your a geek, they'll think your a boy.
Never change yourself for anyone.
Good luck sweetie. xxxx

 You shouldn't have to give up your interests for a girlfriend...it is a question of finding someone with similar interests to you really and that often takes time! As for worrying about girls thinking you are a 'geek'...I wouldn't worry so much because in my experience the only people who use that word in a derogatory way are never terribly bright and care about superficial stuff a tad too much...my point is that you need someone on your own intellectual wave-length as the foundation for any good relationship so just wait for the right girl to come along, don't be desperate for a girlfriend and enjoy your games!

 I have a few friends who can relate to you. Seems like all they do is play online games, and some of them have been without girlfriends their entire lives. Thing is, I don't think it bothers them. They are enjoying life, and that's what you need to do just now. There's no need to be "desperate" for a girlfriend, if you are enjoying your life.However, if you are interested in meeting somebody, then go out now and again. I'm sure you have friends who play the game, so why not everyone say "You know what, it's a nice day, why don't we do something outside of the internet?" and then go out somewhere, maybe even somewhere where there might be some girls around. You never know what may happen.I understand WoW is a great game, but you obviously crave some kind of social life, and it's something that would be good for you to develop.

 I was briefly addicted to the game too, you're not alone. Try setting designated time periods to play the game; like for 2 hours after dinnertime, or for an hour after you get home from school. Maybe even just allocate yourself 3 hours in the day to play and choose at random when you want to use this play-time. This will give you time to go out and make dates with friends and the like. It's a terribly consuming game and a lot of fun to play but when it starts becoming the focus of your time, you know you need to take it down a notch. The longer you spend isolated at home in front of the computer, you're distancing yourself further from every possible girlfriend and from your existing friends. Try going out more with some friends and as sexylove simply says, show those girls that there's more to you than the computer-gamer! You will have a good time having a laugh with your friends and when you get home, you can use up the time you set aside to play WoW. By the way; there's nothing wrong with being a little geeky. Just take the reins now before it escalates beyond your control. Take care.
