10 reasons why dating a gamer is the best thing to do!

Never date a gamer!!! This oft misconstrued fact needs to be changed as soon as possible. Gamers are actually one of the best categories of people to date. No…no…please don’t raise your eyebrows. I know what’s going on in your mind. How can a console-obsessed geek turn out to be perfect date for you?Valid question, but just hear me out. Okay, Gamers may not be the perfect date, but then nothing is perfect. They are just close to perfection.Still not believing? Fine, let me list down ten reasons why dating gamers is the best thing to do.

#10 They are great with technology

Trouble with your PC??? Want to buy a new system and not sure where to look? Don’t bother calling the repairman! Just fast-dial your boyfriend who will turn up in a jiffy and help you out! After all, don’t they spent most of their waking times on their PC’s, X-boxes, and PlayStations? And if you count out the little bit of incentives that you give them, I do hope you get what I am referring to, they don’t charge you at all!

#9 They are easy to please

When you are in a relationship, the most frequent problem that you face is how to find ways to please them. With gamers, that never is an issue. You know what they love, so all you have to do is either spend some time with them on their games, or buy them a new game. I am sure they will cherish you for life. Tried and Tested!!!

#8 They are loyal and passionate

It’s a well-known fact that gamers are very passionate people, and this passion comes from their dedication while playing a game. If you take a little effort to show some liking to their favorite hobby, rest assured, some of that passion is surely going to rub on you. Since they are also known to defend themselves and their comrades from enemies in games, you can also be sure that they show the same loyalty to you in real life as well.

#7 They team up well

Gamers are known to co-operate with unknown people across the world for multi-player online games. If they can take down Nazis with someone they never have met, what stops them from helping someone, whom they have known and loved for some time? So if you are stuck in any task, just let them know, and they will right near you to devise ways to get you out of this rut!

#6 They give you the much needed space

Many times, I have heard complaints about people not giving their partners the much needed space to breathe. With gamers as your partners, you never have to worry about space at all. Just give them their space and time to spend with their games, and you have all the space you need to breathe. So happy shopping, or gossiping with your girlfriends! Do make sure that you put a self-restriction on these free times; there is a chance that your gamer partner may cease to believe that you exist.

#5 They dont quit easily

Seriously, you want me to delve more on that point? Ask any gamer who is stuck on the Aztec mission in GoldenEye 007 or the Tubular level in Super Mario World. They may die many times but they won’t give up unless they eke a victory out of it. Playing all these difficult levels instils the ‘never-say-die’ spirit in him. If taking out Mike Tyson in ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out’ is a cake walk for your boyfriend, asking for your hand in front of your father is like a walk in the park for him!!!

#4 They are cheap...

No, I don’t mean that in the street language. The gamers have one obsession – games. They don’t really crave for any fancy restaurants or long rides – all they want is a few hours on their consoles. So if you plan your dates around these, which is far cheaper than a lunch date at Italian Bistro, you will not only make your partner happy with lesser money, but also earn some cool brownie points.

#3 They are imaginative

It goes without saying that gamers are an imaginative lot. They have racked their brains through various genres, right from zombies, to simulation games, to fantasy to action. So when it comes to planning a special date or your birthday, they will definitely think of something out of the box to add that special touch to the occasion. Mind you, if you require that bunch of roses, please do let him know directly.

#2 No complaints about long waiting time

If you are a girl, then you must have heard a lot of murmurs from your boyfriend about the lengthy duration you take to dress up for any occasion (I know you can’t help it, but we men can never understand that!!!). But, if you are dating a gamer, then have no worries. He will be spending that waiting time working his way out in Temple Run, that he will hardly notice the time you have spent on your beautiful attire. Everyone wins here!

#1 They wont stray!

This is the best and the simplest reason as to why you need to date a gamer. You don’t agree? Okay, let me present you with a logical reasoning – you may be complaining that your gaming-obsessed partner spends more time with the consoles than on you. If he/she doesn’t have much time for you and spends most of it on games, when do you think he/she would really have any time to spare for other guys/girls out there? See, there you have a perfect faithful partner in this untrusting world!
