writes:Is it good to have a girlfriend who is a gamer? I'm a huge gamer and I've been playing video games for my whole life. I would like to have one, I just a little worried that she'll take over and my gaming days will be over. I just want to have fun with girl gamer's, just as much as fun with guy gamer's. I would like to play multi-player games with her. I really want to have a lot in common with a girlfriend. I do think that girls can play video games too, I don't care what other people think. I just want to have fun with a girlfriend.

What is important is that each of you get "alone time" to do things that each of you desire. So long as each of you get enough time to do your own thing, it shouldn't be an issue. Do realize, however, that starting a relationship will probably require some changes to gaming habits regardless of whether she games or not.

 IMO it's better to have her share the interest rather than her constantly complaining you need to get off of it and spend more time with her. Then eventually leaving you because she's tired of the game getting all of your time.
In other words, this girl is a rarity..hang onto her!

However, you don't need to restrict yourself and say 'I will only date gamers' because you never know who you might meet, you might find someone with other interests, but still have a perfectly good relationship that works really well.

 I'm a gamer of sorts. I don't typically play with my boyfriend, but I do watch him a lot and play on my own time. He enjoys it and so do I. The keep point in finding a good girlfriend is having things in common and enjoying each others company whether or not you're actually comminucating.
If it means that much to you, make it a deal breaker... if it doesn't just make a point to tell your prospective girls that you'd at least expect her to be okay with your use.
Hope I helped. :)

reader, anonymous, writes (2 February 2012): Hi! I am actually a gamer girl myself. There are a few negatives and positives to dating other gamers... first lets discuss meeting through a game. This can be good bc obviously you both enjoy that particular game therefore right away youve something in common. And in an mmo type game if youre long distance it can really help bc its like youre actually together bc you cant interact together. Do dungeons raid groups quests special in game events etc. It can be a lot of fun!! :) But with that being said it can also hurt your relationship. Even in game jealousy issues can arise. Such as other girls present or talking all night in mumble or ventrilo with other girls or her guys etc ... perhaps discuss that in the beginning to prevent arguments.Now when you live together ... which I live with my gamer bf ... can be a bit different. Jealousy issues are worse bc you can look over your partners shoulder and see conversations or whispers/tells from other people and argue about it even if its innocent. Or if in a guild and you are interested in raiding theres always that chance you or your gf will be left out which is really annoying! But the positives are (which if the person lives close) you can have nights that revolve around the game! Like order pizza drink shots when dying on a boss fight etc it can be a lot of fun. The only bad thing is when you lose interest in the same game and you both drift off to other ones.. that does cause problems... i know that all too well. lol. But it can def be a lot of fun as long as you dont mind drama on the side haha.take care!
