Would you date a guy that plays lots of video games?

As long as he has time for a relationship, wants to get married and have a family, and is able to keep a job besides take care of himself. Otherwise, unless he makes money being a game tester, works in the industry, or is already a professional player. The answer is a big no. Because they become so self-absorbed that you basically ignored them. I love playing lots of video games too, but I have my limits and I have priorities. I remember not playing games for an entire semester to make sure I got my grades together for school. If I didn't pass my classes, no games for me. That was it. He needs to be an adult because I am not babysitting an adult. Nor am I shacking up either. So, he needs to take care of himself, otherwise, why bother dating that guy? Other girls can have him.

If that's all he wants to do, no.. If video games are good whole life to the point he puts that above anything or anyone, then that wouldn't make for a healthy relationship Someone that likes to play video games sometimes, but still prioritizes responsibilities and relationships over video games, then that would be fine

To be honest when iam sitting with my boyfriend and he plays his game but i made sure he stopped it cause he was suppose ro be spending time with me not leaving me sitting there bored watching him play call of duty over his mic on ps4 with his boy pals wiles iam there i jst said dont u get enough of that when am not there with u so i make sure when iam not with him he gets a lot of games for a few days rill we see each other again so iam not sitting bored on my own

Does he work, does he have a social life, does he have balance in his life?
Yea sure..

If you answer no for one or more of those questions I'd have to really consider if it's worth while...

YES but he better have a job help with chores around the house he better include me in the games and he needs to show me attention and be willing to get out the house for little fresh air.

[Lovelifex]

Yeah!! Aslong as I still got attention and not ignored and it didn't come between us spending time together.
I like watching my man play it and sometimes I'll play aswell.
Some people do play to much and it comes between the relationship because the other person is craving there attention and it can hurt

Not really, I’m an adult so I’d expect to be with someone who has aspirations and doesn’t necessarily spend hours on video games all day. It was adorable when I was a teenager sure but I’m grown now so I want someone with a mature mentality.

[Horror_lover92]

Yes, because I play a lot of video games, but I also have a job. So if the guy has a job or finding a job I would be fine with that. I'm the type that likes to play video games than going out anyway.

[FictionalCharacter]

If he is patient and can control his emotions. Cause I’ve seen when guys have their headphones on and playing LIVE. That once they’re interrupted, they throw the control or break something.

As long as he's giving me attention and doesn't control his life then yeah why not. We all have our outlets to relax,

currently dating one, except he never plays them around me and when he wants to he always politely asks me If its okay if he does so, I feel he doesn’t like taking away out time together which is very sweet.

Long as they had a proper job, cleaned themselves daily and properly and did things other than games, yeah sure.
