Video Games Vs. Woman

I don't have a GF or wife or anything like that, but I am very impressed with you Art.

I've never met a girl that would do THAT while I was playing the game. And moreso, I don't even know if I'd even be able to be focused while playing a game if THAT was going on.

But back on topic: No. Most girls I know or hang out with don't even know about video games, or don't care for that matter. Actually, this one girl I knew used to love playing Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on my PSP while we hung out.

 My wife rocks. She'll do that.  Muwahahahahaha.  Though yeah, the focus on the game is lost, and it doesn't go very long before the game is just forgotten.

 Souixan has good advice, I'd listen to him.  And I personally think its very important to establish that you will take time for yourself for things you like to do, right off at the beggining.  Whatever the time for yourself is (Video Games, time with your buddies, fishing....).  I think it's bad to spend ALL your free time focusing on the girl during the 'initial flare'.   It sets a tone you'll have to break later.  To this day I'm still trying to get my wife to realize that I don't have to spend every spare moment that I'm not at work focused on her and making sure she's entertained.

 At least she's into games.  We mostly have different tastes, but there is always a game we both like and can play together.  We love gaming together.
