You could always come up with activities that involve her. Go for a walk with her, take her to a nice little restaurant for a meal, Go to a movie she would like to watch etc etc.. It's easy, all it takes is a conscious effort. On the other hand, you could always bribe her with chocolate after hard day at work, as well as offering to massage her feet.

Quickest way to turn a girl off you is to dote on her like that. Those things are all at their most effective when they are the exception not the rule in how you are with them.

Girls like more than anything to see a guy being competent at something. The problem is video games are silly little toy play things so they don't count. If you were spending those hours a day doing something like painting, practising an instrument (better yet being in a band) or basically doing something that has a cool factor you'd find her far more tolerant of the inattention.

Girls just like guys want what they can't have (take how her walking out gave you a wake up call) so you owe it to some one you like not to give them what they want that way they will always want it when you come through rather than being bored of it.
 
I'm quite lucky, my girlfriend is a games tester and she's always the one asking me to play something. :lol: We spent hours playing Gears 2 this weekend :D

I knew to hold onto her when she made her own Gamertag just for Black Ops ;)

Now, all we need is 3.1 billion replicas of her and the rest of the males in the world can be completely happy. :D
 
My wife knows I'm a gamer, she lets me have my game time now and then, but usually hates when i play for like 3+ hours (her Attention span wouldn't last more than an hour) but we do play games together as well, usually not video games, but other games like Cards, Scene It (our fav for parties lol) and we also like Yhatzee and the like. so you just need to make time for her, AND yourself. the relationship wont work unless you BOTH are happy! Video games dont have to ruin your life, so dont let them. yes its hard to not game for like 12 hours and just sleep for 8 then game for 12 more, but with motivation you can game for like 1-2 hours a day and spend 5-6 with yoru girlfriend. Hang in there, and think of it like this, it could always be worse!
 
I think gaming is just a fad that many people will grow tired of once they've been at it for a few years. Of course there are some who persist with it for decades.

I've been a console game for just three years and its starting to grow thin. (Before that it was just the nintendo gameboy for me in the 90s) Its because I've seen almost all the tricks and fancy bullet points in games now. I picked up the PS3 because of GT5 and Killzone 2. Ehh, now they're just another game to me. Of course there have been unexpected gems like Valkyria Chronicles, COD4: MW (face it, this game was awesome, the rest of them are crap though), FIFA 10 (my first FIFA in a decade, finally a decent football game), Red Dead Redemption (yippee, finally a good western, why do people hate this genre?) and many more. But after a certain point, its just the same old same old. I don't expect to continue gaming past this year, at least not on a daily basis.

On a side not, look through IGN editor's choice list for any console and you will find only a few top ranked games that interest you. The games we look forward to the most often turn out to be a disappointment (KZ3, GT5, COD MW2, NFS FF XIII etc etc) and I think this sentiment might be in part due to fatigue.
 
I was expecting something better and not a thread about "my first break up"

or

Stand up lose weight fight ****** corrupt government and build a better future for everyone.

Agreed. The thread title was deceiving.

Tell her to hit the road.


But not the road you're driving on in-game because you'd have to swerve to miss her and that would ruin your lap time.

How useless but completely hilarious! Best thing I've read all day. Thanks for the giggle.

Grow up, this is the off topic forum, and I wouldn't be surprised if this affected more than the one person on this board, it is a video game forum afterall.
