My ex played a lot of games. I play assassin's creed and madden sometimes but she was a way more serious gamer than me.
To be honest, I thought league of legends was really cringy and stupid but you know what? I never let her feel like I felt that way because I knew it's what she liked to do to decompress after work or when she was stressed. And she really didn't need me taking something which brings her life peace away from her.
You see, I understood the simple concept of shutting the fuck up, supporting the person I'm in a relationship and taking an interest in her interests even when they weren't that interesting to me. (I was very bad at League)

First define a lot.
I personally am not into gaming because I feel it destroys imagination and the ability to calm down. It rather enhances aggressivity because it frustrates people and freaks them out.
Especially after so many lockouts I'd prefer someone that likes to go out and is socially active.
I'd consider that less in terms of clubbing but someone who likes nature and is open for date time activity.
My boyfriend is a gamer guy and we’ve started dating only fairly recently. He plays a lot of games and gets excited when a new favorite game of his gets released. He plays for hours and we talk only in the mornings and at night because we’d like to manage both our studies and our relationship.
I’d try to spend more time with him. I’d even download a few games or something and even start gaming with him. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll tell him that I want to spend more quality time with each other and if he doesn’t listen, well..
I already do. He makes a lot of time for me and involves me, so I don’t mind.

Definitely! I already play a lot myself. I'm actually trying to get my partner into playing then more with me!
1000% totally, as I play a ton of video games as well.
But, I’m successful in my job and I’m pursuing other goals outside of it and having progress in that as well.
So, while I play a lot of video games, it really has no bearing over the important aspects of my life (family, friends, lifestyle, career, well-being, etc.)Wow times have changed, back when I was younger women were repulsed by video games.
I have already dated 2 gamers and it was nice to have an extra thing to do together and a common thing to talk about. Playing games is usually a lot more interesting than watching TV unless I just feel tired.I love the idea of playing video games together with my SO! I want a gamer girl! Lots of easy fun for texting or practically free dating. And if we get married I’m going to play games together with my future kids, and would love for it to be a complete family event.
of course. I also like to play sometimes. I think that such spending time together could be interesting and fun. I believe that you should not forbid the other person what he likes and what makes him happy
No absolutely not... I have precisely zero interest in wasting time playing video games and suchlike.
Of course i would. I would love to, but am married already 😁. Am teaching her now, so far all car games are fine, 3rd person? We are still working on it
I play video games too but a person who was obsessed with playing a game would be a turn off if they are 25 and older. Your young so it’s ok for someone your age.
Yes. I love gaming too. and want like a gaming hubby in the future and perhaps get like a whole gaming setup next to his and we could play together like thatd be fun af
Yeah I tend to play a fair bit to chill out.
PC stuff
if someone I’m dating has a hobby or interest, then I’m happy they can do it.
not a problemYes of course! That's how my boyfriend and I met, we were just online gamer friends and we started to like each other.
Yeah sure, if they know how to balance their time with their partner and their alone time, then yeah nothing wrong with it
Sure. As long as they had a healthy life outside of that too and weren't, like, a Twitch streamer or something.
Yeah and I'll even join him
Nah... probably not... but honestly it depends on what you mean by a lot.
When you qualify with “lots”.. Probably not.. it just is not my type. I am a outdoorsy person and being cocooned in the house playing video games would just not be my thing.
Yes, it is literally on my list of musts in people I date
If she plays way too much? No. But a few hours a week mainly being when she has free time from work/school? Sure
Honestly probably not. I haven’t touched a video game in a decade, if that was a main hobby for a girl I just doubt we’d be compatible
Yes, there are a lot worse things she could be doing.
