nope, it'd be cool to have one, but as long as they don't mind my hobbies then no big deal, not needed...although i'd find a way to eventually suck them in =]
My girlfriend likes to play games, though she prefers games that aren't too complicated (peggle, ilomilo, etc.)
Mostly she likes to watch me play, but we get along great like that. Plus I don't have mulitple controllers, so we alternate and such.

I am the gamer in the relationship. Well, we both game a fair bit, but I'm the more mainstream gamer of the two of us, plus I have a job in the games industry. So 
My fiancee plays games, but she's hardly a hardcore gamer.
We enjoy Little Big Planet, Super Mario Wii and similar games together.
She also enjoys watching me play story driven games like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy.
We played World of Warcraft and now play Star Trek Online together.
When we first met she introduced me to World of Darkness, which we played for some years.
But after we had kids we haven't had so much time to play decent P&P.
Though we are both eagerly awaiting World of Darkness Online!

I have a great one. I tend to like a few more of the boyish games like FPS's a fair bit more, and she tends to know and like a lot more RPGs than I do but we have an absolutely perfect middle ground.
She says her fantasy is to see me cosplay as Squall for her from FF8.

Now that I think on it, my sister is turning into a gamer girlfriend. Her boyfriend, however, is getting rather amused/annoyed at her attempts at playing assorted Wii games (which she has effectively commandeered), and is slowly weaning her onto the X360.
I'm not sure I'd classify my wife as a girl gamer. She's more of a "girl who games". She does have her own DS and uses it mostly to play Pokemon, and when we recently got an Xbox, she immediately bought CoD for it and loves it. Still, her interest in video games isn't as strong as someone you'd consider a Gamer.
My girlfriend is the coolest girl on earth.
She plays everything I do (which is a wide variety of games), she cosplays as EVA for anime conventions (I cosplay as Big Boss. Match made in heaven.), she is a table top game freak (D&D and 40K), and her favorite series in the history of the world is Lord of the Rings.
And she does all of this while wearing my Boba Fett helmet.
Now excuse me, as I have to find out an army list to counter her Eldar.
EDIT: Her favorite games are Black Ops and Street Fighter 2.

Their loss! The problem is that guys out number girls significantly in this hobby. So when you see a capable, cute, gamer girl you assume "She has her pick of any guy here. There's no way she's single. And even if she is, what do I have that none of these guys do?" That's what a lot of guys I've talked to have said. I was like "Well.... how about you try anyway? She's not going to eat you!"SegaJanesis said:
My ex was kind of a gamer. We played L4D together and I used to lend her my games after I beat them.
Honestly girls who game sometimes have the same problem about finding someone who respects them as gamers not merely as the novelty of being a female who games. I'm not one of those "rah, I am woman, see me game!" I didn't start dating til I was in University, and now I'm engaged, granted I'm picky and really didn't feel like bothering with dating in high school.
My fiancé and I are about equal with gaming tastes, we prefer co-op games to play together, doesn't really matter what type of game, as long as there is co-op campaign. We'll sometimes foray into multiplayer, mostly if my brother in-law is playing (that's the FPS types). And we'll do team based PVP with friends.
I don't know if I would say that it would be vital that I was dating someone that gamed, but it's helpful mostly because I'm a pretty big junkie (my collection is around 500 games, and I'm only about a third complete?). So it was just really important that I had someone that understood my love of video games, and the fact that he plays games with me, and WANTS to play with me is just icing on the cake.
My word of advice to anyone really is, don't be creepy. Don't be one of those people that try to flex their virtual muscle by saying "I bet I can beat you at x" I work part-time at a LAN centre, and I get all kinds of gamers coming in, it doesn't matter what gender, you get all types. If you're interested in a gamer, just try to find out what kind of games they like, or suggest some easy type co-op games to play together if they're not a gamer but are kinda interested in at least trying. And most importantly, don't ignore your significant other for a game, I have a wonderful story of how this guy lost his wife because of Gears of War 2, which I won't elaborate unless someone wants to hear it.
