How to Stop Your Girlfriend from Gaming

And you thought playing Halo 3 together would bring you closer...

Convincing our girlfriends to play video games sounded like a great idea. Turns out, it was more of a curse than a blessing. She hogs the Xbox, "accidentally" spoils endings of games and calls us idiots for using an attack spell instead of a health potion.

If your girl has kicked you off the couch, these 10 tips will help you reclaim your sacred game controller.

DISCLAIMER: Your girlfriend is probably smarter than you so proceed with caution. GameDaily is not responsible for any physical or emotional pain this may cause you and all parties involved.

    If you want to get you GF away from video games plan a romantic evening and take her out if she wants to or not... If either partner gets jealous over what the other one is doing move on, find a new person to be/play with... It's not that hard...

    ...I*****uy erased my save file he'd be out the door....but not until after a demonstration of what I've learned playing fighting games over the years -_-#. I can honestly say I'd choose the safety of my (baby)hundreds of hours of playtime over hormones. Besides which, a guy who pulls garbage like that on you early in a relationship is a clearly a control freak, and as petty as a little lost data seems, i*****uy can't be a good sport over a GAME, than he's not worth your time, and you're better off kicking him out before the restraining order becomes necessary.

    my gf would probably just tease me, and its more effective then erasing the game file. -_-

    I'd love to find a girl who's really into gaming (as well as a true Metal Chick); for one thing, I'd actually have a competent partner to do co-op Resistance with me while my Krisiun discography is eroding our eardrums.

    Most of my boyfriends have been gamers~ Hell I've been playing games... not casually since I was little on the NES. What kind of douche would erase someone's save file? That would only cause the two to break up. Taking her up and away from the video game is the only answer... this goes the same for Guys and not just girls!

    Wow xtheguyoncouchx is that the longest run on sentence in history?? You actually sound like your begging for any girl to e-mail you right now lol. What is this and online datinf forum?? I'll cook for you, take you shopping and "do other things with you" lol wow way to put your desperation out there. I bet you would do "other things" to any female/ shemale who e-mailed you now would ya??? Now that I have my laugh out of the way, I'll start by saying that dating a women who played video games was cool, because she never hogged my system and I never messed with hers. first off, if one of us were playing alone around one another, it was usually, because one us came over to each others house while the other was finishing up a level or a game. We never made each other sit and watch one of us play a game for hours. She had a Wii and I had my PS2 (PS3 now) and we always knew to turn if off when we were together. The only exception was once during the winter when I hurt my back, she loved to watch my roommate and I play Resident Evil 4, she never wanted to play, but she was so into the story and helping us play, that she did enjoy watching us play. Other than that, we never hogged a system or made each other suffer. It's still very cool playing Mario Party and Super Mario World with her on her Snes :)... Or the one time we beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the arcade game together lol. She was the only one I ever beat it with. Anyway reguardless who you are, if you want to keep a relationship, turn off the system (don't make them wait) and actually do stuff with one another, yeah playing games with your partner is cool, but you still have to get out and do interactive stuff together also. Peace, Love , and hair grease
