Well of course. It's just one of my passtimes, I wouldn't expect to share all of the same hobbies with them. If they were properly crazy about hating games (Jack Thompson style) then maybe, because that would mean that they were a bit of nutjob.
Would you date a girl/guy that didn't like video games?

- Start date
as long as he respects that I like to play them, and isnt like "you need to grow up!" "seriously dont you ahve a life!" "omg your being so antisocial" and even then
it would have to be taken to extreme levels
I have a feeling that anyone I end up dating is going to into them anyway

well, yes, obviously i would, simply disliking a playtoy i have is no reason to dump someone, that would be patheitc in my view. (OPINION). besides are you saying you would constantly love everything about them? you'll hate their parents, or their cat, or whatever, live with it.Everin said:
to be honest the only reason i think what you were saying would apply was if you were the sort of person to have their gf over and then just ignore them and play CoD, then wonder why they get mad.
The guy I'm dating now finds my gaming habits cute, but he's not interested himself. As long as the person in question wouldn't ***** about me playing, then I wouldn't mind. Of course, that'd mean that I wouldn't play games when we were hanging out, or bother them to try it. To each his own, respect in relationships works both ways.
Now I don't date, but if for the sake of argument I did, I would. It's not like I'm likely to play video games while I'm spending time with my date. What I do on my free time is my own goddamn business. And if we were to move in together, they'd have to be OK with me doing whatever I want.
Of course I would...I mean its a bonus if they like them, but I wouldnt not date someone just because they didnt share one of my interests.
Its just like Im a huge Lord of the Rings nerd when it comes down to it...I could even handle dating a girl who didn't like it - so long as they dont think Harry Potter is better cos thats just blasphemy

Gaming's a big part of my life, so yes, I'd want there to be some common appreciation of it. Nothing is worse in a relationship than having contempt for the other person, whether it's their habits or their hobbies.
Gaming is a big part of my life and I just wouldn't feel right not being able to share that. My preference would be to date a girl who is also a gamer.
Having said that, relationships are about compromise. It isn't a dealbreaker for me.

Well sofar I haven't met a girl that would really like games so it's simply a case of separate hobbies, there will always be something the other doesn't like and there is no point getting your panties in a bunch over it, you do your thing and they do their own and some things you can do together (gigity).
But there always those that think their way is the only right one, those just need to go.

Yes if they don't care if I play video games.
No if they say "If you play video games, we're through!"
Response: Door's over there.

Yeah, basically this. Every relationship has things one person enjoys the other person does not.ParanoidEngineer said:
I might try, but it most likely wouldn't work out. Video games are a big part of my life and if my hypothetical partner wasn't interested in them, we wouldn't have a whole lot to talk about or do together.
