Gaming or Love?

[Brroke]

I admitted to myself last night which one I would choose... Gaming(!)

Anyone else?

[black mamba DSO]

lol. Love for sure. I'm a hopeless romantic.
----Double Post Merged----
BUT, you shouldn't have to choose one or the other. It's important to find someone accepting of you in all aspects. I probably wouldn't be AS into video games if it wasn't a hobby for my husband. but i'm glad it is :D

[SweetAmbrosia]

lol ... *Whispers* Gaming

[Small fry]

Love... I love gaming, but if I HAD to choose most defintely love.

[ToX1C]

hmmmm meet a lover over a game you get both :P...... but if i had to choose love for sure i love my girlfriend so much lol i couldnt live without her

[H2O Gotham]

Well I've only got one real choice, and that would be gaming, my love life has been less than admirable or even enjoyable.

[PMS Fedaykin]

it used to be gaming. until now. he's amazing. = )

[chickhawk]

psshhaa.... I choose Gaming... in the end, Gaming doesnt hurt as bad as love.
hahah wow, let me turn off the dark cloud over my head :D

[black mamba DSO]

lol ... *Whispers* Gaming

OOh, i'm tellin your hubby! haha ;)

[H2O Default]

Love. No contest.

[DejaVu PMS]

Love. It does help that my husband enjoys gaming too.

[Psycho]

I admit Ive chosen my xbox over whats now an ex girlfriend, my girlfriend can complain about me spending so much time on my xbox, but I never have to listen to my xbox complain about being with my girlfriend

[Catalina DSO]

I would have to choose love. Hubby and I have been through a lot in the last 23+ years and I don't see throwing that away for a game.

Of course you know I would try to work it out to have both. :D

[PMS Wrath]

Maybe both at the same time? No just kiddin I would have to pick love as well. Video games get boring and they cant be there for you when you really need them.

[LiquidMetal H2O]

I would say love even though gaming can be a passion. But I agree with mamba. It definitly would be nice to meet someone that does enjoy gaming, or at least respects the fact that its something that you enjoy. Its who you are that should matter, if someone doesn't like that part of you then they don't like all of you.

[Iris]

i chose both ;)

[Nokarot]

I don't think I could love somebody (to a serious extent anyway) who isn't as much of a gamer as I am :p.

[Spirit Ra H2O]

yea me too

[Black Capone]

l'm the lucky one, cuz my girlfriend has an Xbox 360! lf l did have to choose, l'd pick love. She's everything to me....

[PMS Seltzer]

How could it be love if s/he didn't at least respect your passions? For a gamer, you can't have love without gaming. =3 And what's more, gaming together is scientifically proven to improve your love life: http://kotaku.com/gaming/women/womens-health-suggests-couples-gaming-227730.php

Also, as a side note, female gamers get more lovin' than the average woman! http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/02/female_gamers_h.html

[PMS Wrath]

ok imma change my answer and say love while gaming? lol

[PMS Kahlo]

How about a healthy mix of both? :p

[H2O Xfreak]

as long as my girlfriend can live with me playing games then i would love her more then the games. :D

[VampireAbby DSO]

i would pick love, i lucked out though me and my husband love halo so for me love and gaming goes hand in hand. except on those days where i beat him lol :D

[black mamba DSO]

ok imma change my answer and say love while gaming? lol

agreed! hehehe

[PMS Wrath]

Yeah I like my last answer as long as I am not playing in a ranked game then its alright of course lol.

[Italy]

I'm only 15 turning 16, so I don't know much about love. Right now, gaming is my number one priority in life, and what would be even greater would be for me to find a girl that will game with me. I was dumped once because I didn't view my girlfriend as a high enough priority(not my fault, she wasn't all that interesting). I'll have to go with gaming for now, that is of course I find a girl worth my time, which I hope we can both spend gaming, lol.

[PMS Wrath]

its ok your still young no biggie. but i laugh at the older people mainly men who play WOW and lost there gf's and wives because they needed to lvl there night elf rogue lol. now thats the classic break up right there.

[Italy]

Haha, I've never heard of that before, but its understandable. WoW tends to take over people's lives very easily. My friend let me play on his account, and I didn't get off for 2 days straight. THen I had to return it to him and I was dissapointed in myself for that...

[H2O Raiden]

Love. Hands down.

But, if someone cannot accept that I have a love of gaming, as a hobby, then I'm not sure that I could be in love with them. If it means giving up things I love and like, to be with someone who tells me they love me, then I don't think the relationship is worth it. Instead of giving up the things you love because someone doesn't like them, (NOT IN ALL CASES. This is not always true.), you should be sharing the things you BOTH love. My ideal love would at least accept that I am a gamer.

I am one of billions. Gamer nation if you will, is my home away from home. If I can share that with someone I love and care for, then all the better, the more the merrier.

Furthermore, love does not always mean marriage or actual physical (physically intimate, that is) relationships. I love and care for many people in my life, but they are not always related to me, the same gender/the opposite gender, etc. Define love as you will.

F.T.W.

[CiniMini]

True that Raiden

[PMS Wrath]

Nothing more to say besides I agree with Raiden 100% good call

[H2O Galang]

Love! I could live without gaming if had too :D

[PuertoRican]

I have a Love for Gaming.

[H2O TankBusta]

After what I've been through this past 4 months.

Gaming.

[Bajatmerc]

Its kinda a cycle for me.
Phase 1-getting--I get a girl I want.
Phase 2-neglecting--After we've been together a while I totally neglect her for videogaming
Phase 3-breakup--She breaks up with me because she feels neglected
Phase 4-gaming--I game hardcore for a while
Phase 5-loneliness--I clean up and change my focus to dating instead of gaming

So as you can see during phase 1 and 5 Id pick love.
During phases 2-4 Id choose gaming.
However, my current gf plays videogames so maybe I wont get to phase 2.

I feel like I have made a breakthrough, glad we talked about this because I kept having nightmares all my ex-gf's were going to do an intervention on me.

side note to Thugqueen - can night elves be rogues? I might need to switch from Tauren/Horde. lol

[black mamba DSO]

i think balance is important. Even if you found someone that couldn't understand your love for gaming, as long as they can compromise and give you your "me" time, it's important to put down the controller every once in a while for them. Someone accepting gaming is one thing, but when it consumes your life and they're pushed to the side, anyone would be bothered. my husband and I are both gamers, but we try to spend most of our gaming time when the other is at work or busy, when we're home together, we'll play a little video games, but we turn it off sometimes for quality time.

Hope this helps some of you :)

[H2O Gotham]

Hmmm, I wonder though; there are those who have offered advice or suggestions regarding the topic and taking upon the position of a balance between the two creating a harmonious co-existence. But it seems that there have been no advocates of those who'd rather pick gaming over love (for now just going with the romantic definition of love, Raiden makes things to complicated, that intelligent son of a gun). So I was wondering are those who offer advice of balance simply preaching to the choir (ie people who have the ability to compromise and are currently in a situation in which compromise is applicable) or are they giving suggestions to those who have taken one above the other? Not everyones expereinces or current situation give rise to compromise, or the desire to do so.

[Testament-Doom]

Well if I have to put my two cents in...

Love (the definition that fits best in this case) is a connection between you and that special someone in which you share both a platonic and an intimate relation with one another. Gaming is a hobby that we all partake on, where we game (and oh so fun it is :D). In my honest opinion, if there's a supposed situation where you gotta choose one or the other, if you force yourself to believe that you can ONLY choose one or the other, then man you're limited in life and it's going to be extremely difficult to luck out in life and have the best life you wish you had. We have the freedom of choice to do WHATEVER we please to do. For those of us that suggest a combo of love and gaming, they are the ones that understand how important it is to go for the best possible outcome, and with most of us, that is the best possible scenario we wish to partake in. If we cannot find the answer to choose between love and gaming, that means that you're best suited to balance the two, and in essence in life, balancing is key. An unbalanced relation between love and gaming will end up ridding yourself from one of the two, if you come to that point. It's not just luck though that we happen to end up in a mix relationship for some of you between the two, effort must be put into this. If you find yourself in an unbalanced relationship between love and gaming, take my advice here: Try to balance it out. If s/he doesn't approve of your gaming, then find someone else that does, or what you do. There are plenty of fish in the sea and you all can find the best one, for a mutual relationship. I hope I've given some helpful advice to you all, and would love to say more on the subject, but I am running late. This is my lunch period and 6th starts in 6 minutes, so take care!

...And if you haven't figured it out yet, I would definitely mix the two together, a.k.a find a gamer girl I can be with :)

[H2O Dakine]

Well I've only got one real choice, and that would be gaming, my love life has been less than admirable or even enjoyable.

I do find this true..but if I were to find it I would probably choose love..not sure.

[H2O Gotham]

I agree with Sin, some of us have had a hard time with love. Finding it, sustaining it, whatever the situation may be it's not come for some reason. For myself, despite numerous efforts the results have all been the same and somewhat degrading and sometimes insulting. So in my life, the compromise between the two does not exist. Though if by some stroke of magical miracle, I found it somehow, the compromise would become the apparent choice.

[black mamba DSO]

i was giving that advice only because I know there are people out there that probably put gaming before everything, allowing their relationships to be ruined and I find this un-healthy. Not saying anyone in particular is doing this, it just seems like this is a good thread to bring that up. We can agree to disagree.

I like the way that he put it.

[H2O Default]

To all of those people stating that they would be ok as long as thier partner doesn't mind them gaming. What if your partner does mind, then what? Are you going to simply move on and find someone else? If that's the case then the pair of you probably would not have lasted very long regardless. If your willing to just throw it away for one of your hobbies then odds are you were just experiencing "infatuation."

Love isn't perfect obviously and for it to work out, each party has to be willing to make sacrifices. In my mind, if you aren't willing to sacrifice then you probably weren't in "love" to begin with. :)

i agree. i guess some of us are lucky enough to not make those kinds of sacrifices, but hopefully others won't throw away a good relationship without trying to compromise.

[KraZ]

love while gaming

This seems like an interesting concept.

Please elaborate.

[PMS Wrath]

umm its prolly not appropriate for the boards but you can use your imagination lol. :)

[icy]

I'd prefer to choose someone I love to game with.

[H2O AvA]

I'd take love over gaming any day.
Though the occasional gaming, me time, would still be a requirement.

[FearFromWithin]

Love, you can play games anytime ... If you find the love of your life and you lose him/her becuase your gaming? You dont get extra chances in real life ..

[V3NUS PMS]

I have a bad habit of canceling a date with a boy because I get too involved in a game... and that seems to hurt their ego.. and eventually give up calling when I don't answer because I'm in a game. I guess I unknowingly pass at a chance at love for a good game. so, gaming > love. meh.

[PMS Wrath]

lol nice yeah that happens to me especially when i started playing mass effect lol.

[Dangerdoll PMS]

Gaming all the way

[Kestral H2O]

Love for sure, its the best feeling there is, makes you feel alive, more alive than that guy you keep knifing in COD4

[Zwanka]

hmmm.. depends on when you ask? Couple years ago.. love.. Right now I'm going for gaming.. but I suppose when my hands are all arthritic and i can no longer hold a controller.. then... love again? Overall you gotta pick love.

[Small fry]

I agree with Sin, some of us have had a hard time with love.


That happens to just about everyone.

[H2O Dakine]

That happens to just about everyone.

Aye I'm sure it has. I was just stating before that It hasn't come to me yet..and Roboticon put it into better words for me of which I agree with you both. As I obviously said before , love hasn't come to me yet so I would have to be with gaming for now.

[Small fry]

I agree as well. Just don't become bitter about it lol.

[Bajatmerc]

I posted my previous statement on myspace, it was about how I prefer love over gaming or vice a versa based on which one becomes more mundane at the time.

My friend Ben responded: "Believe me videogames are great, but spending time with my girlfriend is far more important. I'd give up my entire videogame collection just to be with her if I had to."

So would not do that myself. I might of when I was 18. I sure wouldn't now though.

[H2O Dakine]

I agree as well. Just don't become bitter about it lol.

yeah definatly , I will just wait for it to come along if it does :P

[Kestral H2O]

to bad you can't really mix both

[H2O Default]

Alright, most of you aren't discussing love at this point though. The discussion seems to be more towards "Gaming Vs. Girl/Boyfriend." That is way different than Gaming Vs. Love; I've dated plenty of girls, but haven't "loved" any of them. Even I might choose videogames over a relationship at some point in my life. I guess it all depends on your difinition of love.

[Echelon]

Love... for me it just so happened that my boyfriend is also a gamer. ^_^

[Gypsyfly PMS]

I found my best friend and soul mate, someone I have EVERYTHING in common with. I would choose love anyday. I'm fortunate that he's a gamer though, but if he wasn't lol I probably wouldn't have fallen in love with him in the first place so that pretty much cancels that out.

I'm a hardcore gamer and the thing is I would be losing a lot more then games. I would probably lose the chance to go to as many events as I do and some of my closest friends in the clan. Although they're my friends in real life, I won't kid myself into thinking it would ever be the same if I wasn't a gamer or in the clan anymore. If I choose love completely over gaming, I would lose ALL things gaming...that whole social aspect we've created for ourselves.

I just think in the end when I'm on my death bed I won't be thinking about that hard level I finished, or that amazing snipe, or that really hard achievement I unlocked. After all, all we are is what we have in our mind and our memories. I hope my very last thought will be his eyes, or maybe his smile, or defiantly his laugh...

[SweetAmbrosia]

OOh, i'm tellin your hubby! haha ;)

lol Shhh.

Awww Everyone is so awesome. Well my husband is not very big on games I actually got him into it. He thinks everything I do is dorky -- I suppose he loves my dorkiness. Hmmm so, yeah, I guess he loves me and I love him, but we def dont share our love for games. So its kind of difficult for him to comprehend why I need to finish a level or beat a game in one day or why sometimes I need him to change Layla's pamper(lol). So when he gets upset at me for playing to much (which I havent had time to since hes such a nagger) I kind of wish I didn't love him so much to turn off my PC or XBOX -- LMAO (hope he doesnt read this).

But, obviously I chose him and NO QUestion I choose my Daughter. Hmmm Yeah the love for my Daughter comes before Gaming. Hubby love is pretty much the same as my love for the Games.

[PMS Wrath]

like i said before im single so right now its gaming but if i wasnt single it would be love while gaming lol.

[Lady Eve PMS]

love.

[muffy78]

i don't think I'd ever have to make that decision cause my love is as much a gamer as I am and he wouldn't' have me any other way. But if I had to it wouldn't be a decision cause love would always win out. You can't replace a person with a game no matter how hard you try but I've put aside a game he doesn't/can't play just so we can play together many times. So yeah love wins hands down.

I love the way everyone is saying such sweet things about their s/o's it so sweet =)

[Bone]

gaming when u die in games owell u can hit respawn and be back on your feeet in 10 seconds but when u die in a relationship it can take forever

[SweetAmbrosia]

gaming when u die in games owell u can hit respawn and be back on your feeet in 10 seconds but when u die in a relationship it can take forever


AWW thats poetic:) Love it!

[c0mfortablynumb]

love no doubt about it. i hope im in a situation where i dont have to choose but i quit gaming for over a year just cause i didnt have the time to balance school work and a relationship.

[PMS Unique]

I think if it's really love, then you wouldn't have to choose. Someone who loves you and respects you, would have respect for the fact that gaming is one of the things that makes you happy; whether they were a gamer or not. The key is balance, and not gaming so much that it causes issues in your relationship. Love is all about respect and compromise. If they can't respect you, or compromise with you; they don't love you.

I will have been with my wife for 8 years on January 20th. She's not a gamer at all, but she knows that I really enjoy it. I play for 2-3 hours almost every day, and that's my "me" time that we all need. While I'm gaming, she's fishing, watching TV, or reading a book; that's her "me" time. If someone can't allow you to have your personal time, they don't love you; they want to own you.

[Kestral H2O]

What if you loved gaming, thats love :D

[BlackwaterReap]

I chose gaming over my ex girlfriend, does that make me a bad person?

[Small fry]

If she wasnt worth spending time with then nope not a bad person ahah.

[BlackwaterReap]

She was a bit of a complete ass, she even made me shave my goatee off!

[Twisted]

Of course I chose love!!, Although I do love gaming its last on the prioties list. My fiance, my job and my family and friends come before gaming.

[Jake]

love, fershuuure!!! but as said 20 times in this thread. you should have somone who accepts you in ALL ways possible.

[H2O endeavor]

At the moment id have to say gaming. Being only 17 i hatent really made that sort of commitment to love yet.

But i agree with with what a lot of people have said, i dont think one would work without the other. It's like guys who go out with female porn stars lol. They have to accept them for what they are ad not think otherwise.

But having a gamer for a girlfriend would be awesome. But obviously not one who is beter than i am:D

[PinkSkittlz]

I completely would choose love if i had too. but luckily for me my boyfriend is the one who got me into gaming. so i don't believe i will ever have to make that choice. but if they love you they wouldn't make you choose. unless you played warcrack lol.

[XEmoElmoxX]

Love. =]

[Vendetta1]

gaming when u die in games owell u can hit respawn and be back on your feeet in 10 seconds but when u die in a relationship it can take forever

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[Sapphire]

:( I can't have my gamer and love him too? I would love love love to find someone who's a gamer like me. I have found devoted gamers like me, but his handsome blue eyes don't cover the fact that he is so childish :nono:

But if i had to choose....Love. Gaming might come out with some virtual type love thing in the future, but nothing compares to the real thing :)

[PMS ArchAngel]

I was lucky enough to meet my love in game but if I had to choose, It would be love, no questions asked. Sobes my life :) but we always fight about using the computer -.-

[JadedV]

My husband does mind my gaming. He's threatened to drop my 360 off our balcony a few times. I guess when he bought it for me he never dreamed I'd take it this far. When my 360 broke the 2nd time I was miserable for a week until he let me buy a new one, just so I'd have one while the other was out for repairs. I'm sad I know. I've met some wonderful people over Live and through PMS/H2o. My 360 is often my only contact with them.
We've come to a compromise. I had to write down my practice schedule so he knew when I "had" to be on. I'm not allowed to play "off" times unless he's asleep, not here or I ask and he actually lets me. I've tried to get him into gaming, but he doesn't "get" it like we do.

[Pebbles]

I had a love that was a gamer like me, actually we met in Gears of War but I messed that one up so I dont think I'll have the chance of saying I am lucky to have both of them.

But I would definately take LOVE with all its ups and downs.

[H2O SicKo]

Gaming is my passion....both girlfriends i had when i was in season for tournys understood its what i wanted to do, if they dont support me in what i do....then truely do they Love you....One shouldnt have to choose a passion over love if its TRUE LOVE...

Remember that one when your in this predicament ;)

[H2O Crank]

I'd end up taking love.

It'll suck..I mean I kiss my 360 before I go to bed every night (Ok, maybe not but you get the point), but I would want something that I can actually have feelings for other than my usual gaming feelings

Confident Defeated and Hungry

[TR]

Gaming.

Love is too complicated, figured that out the hard way.

Plus if you get sick of it, you can just shut it off. Unlike Ex-GF's....

[ZigZag]

Love. Once you've experienced Real Love, everything else pales in comparison.

[Prototype Panda]

... I love games... I would have to say I would pick gaming, I can really only seeing myself dating a gamer that way we both understand when we stay up all night playing games and sleep in late lol.. If I dated a non-gamer they would have to be cool with me playing them. If I fell in love and they really wanted to to stop gaming I guess I would but geez why cant I have both? it makes a relationship better when you like the same things anyway.

[MLG Legacy]

gaming hands down
----Double Post Merged----
also to add if they came out with virtual partners that you could " do " things with i still would pick gaming, you can fake the REAL THING, if you get my drift.

[H2o Havoc]

Well I have it good because my wife is a gamer, so I don't have to choose. I feel sorry for those that have to choose.

[CriTikiLL]

Love. Gaming is something we do for fun.

Without that love nothing we do would be quite the same.

[moonieass13]

Gaming... no one needs love haha.. gaming is more rewarding

[NeoViper9889]

hmmmm meet a lover over a game you get both :P...... but if i had to choose love for sure i love my girlfriend so much lol i couldnt live without her

Exactly, my brother met his current GF on FFXI hehe, she lives in New Mexico, came up here for a week a few weeks ago, we live in Alberta, inother words, its a ways away :) But for me, I would pick gaming, comes more naturally to me. Dont have to work hard for it. Not saying i don't want to be i na serious relationship, but at 16, it really doesn't matter if my gf and me last. Sure, in a few years, I will actually start looking for someone, but for now, games hands down.

[FearFromWithin]

Finding love through a game is good but theres more to life then sitting in front of your tv playing video games .. easy enough decision . love

[Sniperess]

I'm lucky enough to have both.... I love my husband who games as much as I do.... weeeee! Life is happy.
We love while we game.... we game while we love.... we love gaming... gaming loves us.... it's all giving here baby... aaaaaaaall giving... ;)

[Lady Roc]

I have to agree with Snipress. It was my boyfriend who introduced me to Halo 2. Even though at first I couldn't stand the Xbox, I soon began to love it upon me buying the 360. Now I'm playing Halo 3 more than him lol. We both share our passion for the game, he critiques my game footage and helps me get better. If you would have seen me when I first got Halo 3 to now you wouldn't have known it was me. :D

[Wafer]

hehe hopeless romantic here

wafer<3 mushy movies heheh
but i love gaming but love good too
why cant we have both bwahahah >:3

[Sponge Worthy]

Gaming. I'd much prefer lust over love.

[SoL Master Yoda]

hmmm, for now. i prefer Gaming....... i have loved and been hurt before, so till im sure i meet the right girl for me, i choose Gaming....... :)

[Osiris H2O]

It's kind of funny. PMS Isis and I both grew up as gamers, but we didn't know that each other played games until after we got married. We didn't have any consoles or play video games even though we lived together for over a year. When the N64 came out, she mentioned buying it like she was joking, but I turned to her and said "yes, let's get it". Within the hour we had gone to the nearest store and opened a credit account and bought an N64 with 3 games, 2 controllers, memory cards and rumble packs. We ended up getting a Playstation a couple of months later.
Now we have a gaming PC, all of the consoles, and our 6 and 8 year-olds are Lego Star Wars and Mario Bros fanatics (I'm sure the toddler will end up playing, too).
So....I guess the moral of the story is that even you choose love over gaming, sometimes you end up with both. :D
My answer is love, because true love will allow you the space to game, and may even join you. :mvpmsh2o:

[Sniperess]

That was beautiful Osiris.... *sniff sniff* :p

[H2O Magnum PI]

Gaming is a valuable piece of a lot of our lives. I really don't think there is a choice there. It's a lot like someone's hobby.

It would obviously be love, but if the person loved you, they will understand your hobbies.

Some people watch American Idol, some people enjoy gaming. Same thing.

[geobox101]

How about being with someone that loves to game. But like someone else said "gaming doesn't hurt", well unless you finish in last place. Yeah, that would suck

[Seatownstriker]

Life is all about balance. Ultimately it comes down to what makes you the happiest.

[Bunnii]

I really like games.... but I love love. =]

And I definitely agree with what you say Seatownstriker.

[PMS Strawberry]

i dont even understand why this is a question haha LOVE! "a life without love is not life at all"! <33
a life without videogames...well...IS REAL LIFE hahah
:)

[...Kanocode...]

Love, I'll choose Love over Gaming any day.
Some people let Videogames Take over their personal lives so bad that in the long run they end up lonely. I see gaming as my favorite Hobby. My Fiance can be a pain sometimes but I love her alot, Maybe more than she knows. I try my best to Divide my time for both, She knows I've been a gamer since Day one. She Actually started playing Recently, She's Hooked on the Nintendo DS and Some BrainAge game LOL.
If you truly Love someone then you should be able to make time for them, and if they Love you then they should understand your game time. Without her My Life would possibly mean nothing to me.
So IMO it's all about Balance, You can have both but Keep in mind, your PC/Console does not have feelings, Your Partner does. Focusing on materialistic things over the one you love will hurt the person, Especially if they don't understand.
At first Me and Her had a bad start with the Gaming but She knows what it means to me, I also knew where she was coming from, She's the one I love and she desserves my time and full attention.
So My Answer is LOVE Hands Down.

This is tough...especially seeing as how Im 24 and divorced already.....and having been through a few other relationships that never quite worked out. I lvoe being with someone...but gaming never lets me down...never gets angry over silly things...and doesnt leave me for someone else or drugs or both. During my marriage......i didnt game as much....i spent time with my wife and daughter...when the divorce was obvious I started gaming more...it helped me deal with all the negative things without hurting myself or others in my frustration. After the divorce I said I would never be with anyone that wasnt a gamer. I broke that creed and saw heartache ever since. And they didnt end because of games....most of em never knew I was a gamer. Most ppl.....love interests or not still dont just by seeing or talking to me for the first time....but even now Im in a rough situation...the video game love triangle.....Im starting to see that I dont need someone to make me happy.....i was happier alone...either that or I ahve a really bad sense when it comes to girls. Basically i agree with the typical response of finding a love that games as well....maybe one day that will happen for me. But thats me and what my life holds I guess the choice and whats best is different for everyone.

As everyone else says, i love gaming and it's a good thing to talk about with the boyfriend, but as always, I would have to choose love.

Why not both, when i met my hubby he was a big gamer and me not so much. when we got our first Wii and 360 we use to fight over whod play first that he eventually got me my own. Ive since been addicted.Now we spend our nights playing online together w/ friends. I'd rather my husband come home w/ a new video game then flowers anyday!;:D

i'm going to have to go with gaming for now.....

[ItsRipley PMS]

I think you can choose both. My boyfriend and I play video games together quite a bit. He knows I'm dedicated to playing every day, and he respects that. If it came down to it, and I had to choose one or the other, I'd probably choose gaming...

unless he puts a ring on my finger. xD

[PMS Wrath]

im seriously telling you both at the same time thats the best answer eva!

i would have to choose gaming myself. love comes and goes like the tides of the ocean but gaming lasts forever, or at least until you die.
