Well if I was to date a non-gamer, there would be a pretty big personality contrast, but I guess if she was open to exploring them, it wouldn't be so bad, it's just that otherwise we might not have such an interest in each other's lives - gaming's pretty big in my life, to be honest.
It's more likely to be my taste in music that would cause problems.

Depends what else we had in common, and how much we both enjoyed that. As long as there is some common ground I ain't fussy, I would prefer said common ground to be gaming but if we got on well enough it'd be silly to turn em down. Just as long as they didn't have a problem with me being a gamer, that is. I'd never *stop* for someone, but equally I wouldn't force them on someone.
All my exs have been non-gamers and weve had good relationships. Its good for the fact that games are pretty much Unisex, so anyoen can enjoy them .
If you're homosexual or bisexual, try cloning.Zeithri said:
If you're heterosexual; apparently they're working on opposite gender clones... I don't know what they'd be called as they aren't really a clone, but yeah, it's interesting.
You wouldn't be able to reproduce with a clone, because the offspring would be genetically inferior, but that's ok, you can adopt if kids are important.
I dont think i could. Gaming is my passion in my life. Am surrounded by it everyday at work and at home. Games games and more games. Everyday i go to work and look around me i hear the song "What a wonderful world"
So if i met a girl who didnt share one of the most important things in my life. Bleh Peace out goodbye.
But in general dont see much of a point in relatioships anyway.

There are no assumptions being laid. Just an innocent question. Also there are people out there take gaming to the level where it's not just a hobby and more a way of life.bartholen said:

Absolutely, I can't pick and choose who I love but a little less time on the console and some more time for me would be lovely
As long as they are willing to make your relationship a priority in their lives, then it shouldn't matter. If either party begins to feel that the hobby (any hobby) is more important to their partner than they are, then that's where (some of the possible) the problems start.
Gaming can and often does consume large portions of a person's life. For me, since I game, that usually doesn't matter and I can enjoy spending time with my significant other even if we're just in the same room together. Him reading, me gaming, me reading, him gaming, surfing the web, whatever. Add a spatter of conversation here and there and that makes up most of our evenings. We're both a little reclusive but we can be reclusive together.

Yeah, pretty much. Although, mine's more into acting and theatre and such. Might explain her enjoyment of DnD...INF1NIT3 D00M said:

It really makes no difference to me; I've always dated non-gamers. But it does need to be someone who is okay with me playing games, which I don't do all too much anyway, so it shouldn't make a difference. It really should just be someone who is okay with me and what I do, between girls scared I'm going to kill myself practicing parkour or girls who can't understand a word I say because I love words/grammar/language that's a difficult requisite.
