My recent relationship just came to a close after spending five years together. We couldn't have been MORE different. She was totally outdoorsey and hated video games whereas I've been a gamer since I was eight years old. She was a devout Catholic and I'm Atheist. I liked reading novels and writing whereas she hated anything of that nature.
I work two jobs and don't have a whole lot of free time and I'm not even sure where to begin looking. Any suggestions?
Update: Gaming isn't the ONLY thing I do. I just really enjoy it and is my biggest passtime. I also go hiking, play with my dog and ferret and go to the mall and movies.

Go to places where you enjoy spending time. Chances are the girls there enjoy that stuff too. I know you said you work, but in the time that you would spend with a girl if you had one can be spent looking for one. Best of luck!
Banemorth.sorry for this little digression from your topic.I just couldn't help myself! xD
Ok, so you could meet girls at parties.you don't have to go to parties all the time to meet girls you think you'll like, just once a week, even once a month if you're too busy. Next time you go to the store to buy a game of some kind, or a book you like, scope around a little bit and if you see a girl you might like go over to her and ask her if she played that game before or if she read that novel you just picked up from the shelf. If all else fails you can ask one of your friends (be it male or female) to hook you up with a girl they think you'll like! That seems to be a very efficient method.worked for me!
Why should girls who like bands be dorky? FYI Local bands (anywhere) are just trying to make it and sometimes the 'dorky people' help them to the path of glory. - 6 months ago
don't they have online games where girls go and play? Of course maybe the ratio there is 100 guy to one girl.at some point in your life you will have to re evaluate if games are more important to you than a relationship with another human being; my friend's friends are into games heavily, and their life revolves around that. Definitely not a healthy habit to have, and I don't think most girls are down with 'gamers'; so you can play your games, but at some point you will most likely have to compromise that activity with spending more time with a gf, and I've met many women and I only knew of one that liked video games; she was pretty hot too. Of course, she thought guy gamers were losers cause that's all they did---play video games and had nothing interesting to say.nuff about that.places to meet people---have you tried those atheist philosophical groups? My friend goes to one and plenty of women there. Maybe there is one in your area. They have social events and that lets you meet more people, etc.unfortunately, once you're out university, meeting women is such a tough thing to do, unless you're out there trying to be social or being out there trying to get involved in community events. I did volunteer activities too as those tend to be filled with women.
