I told my girlfriend that I want to play Half-life for 2 hours tonight with some friends and she told me flat out NO.

Should I dump her for it?

What would u guys do?

Don't dump her because of that but explain to her what is going on. Tell her you need time with your friends too, she is number 1 but there are other things that need to be done as well.

Just explain to her that any time away from her makes the time you spend with her that much more special. You can also tell her that guys need to be with their friends sometimes, and then try suggesting she go spend time with her girl friends.

Ok the problem here is simply communication and understanding, if she dosen't whant you to go out with your friends tonight your next question should be

1) Is their something imoprtant you want me to do tonight

If she is kind of vuege about that you problaly pissed her off by missing the one time she really wanted a boyfreind and you did get why try

2) are you upset by me

If she still seems vuage and unreasnoble go out anyway and talk to about it late

1. Punch her in the face
2. Then in the throat
3. Tell her &quot;I'm not listening to some damn woman!&quot;
4. Play with your friends
5. Tell her you are really sorry tomorrow.

Actually, believe it or not, chicks don't tend to like video games. When my g/f says &quot;what did you do on your day off work?&quot; and I say &quot;I played AOE or Quake for a few hours&quot; she gets upset, because &quot;I could've done something productive&quot;

Umm, this is MY DAY OFF. I will play video games the entire 24 hours if I please.

My guess is she would rather do something with you those 2 hours. Find out what it is, if she wants to sit around and watch &quot;The Crocidille Hunter&quot; say &quot;see ya in 2&quot;


This reminds me of the time I went to a strip-club w/some buddies and my g/f got all pissed. Not because I went to a strip-club, but because I didn't bring her.

Good Luck

Talk it out until she understands that 24/7 is too much time together... i just broke off a 2 year relationship where i was kinda restricted too,... it's not healthy,... wanting to be together is natural and cool, but both of you need a lil space to yourselves and to hang with friends every once in a while. I think 2 hours is very fair, much better than just playing on and on... trust me, you'll be happy you kept up with friends and stuff if heaven forbid something goes wrong,... so will she... in short: talk it over... get an understanding

Man, Chicks just don't understand our fascination with PCs and PC Games. It's kind of like when she tries to tell you about Jake or Perry or Brad from 'As The World Turns', it just don't jive.

Here's your options...
- Offer to take her with you, and if possible get her involved. Yeah it might try your patience trying to educate a newbie on the game, but the work you put in is worth it...Heck, she might even like it and give you a run for your money eventually!
- Be strong, tell her it's something you're DOING. She will have to respect that you need time with your friends and back down.
- Kill her.

There you go, hope things work out.

I don't normally do this, but if you're going to correct someone, make sure they are wrong first.

<<Bah! Incorrect grammer! Glad to see someone else is in the same boat as I!!!! it shouldn't be same boat as I it would me same boat as me.>>

The correct expression was &quot;...same boat as I.&quot; The reason is that the sentence implies &quot;...same boat as I am.&quot; Ask any english professor or gramarian. &quot;...same boat as me.&quot; may be in common use, but it is not correct. Besides, it would have been nit picking even if the original had been wrong. The only reason I correct you is because the only reason you posted was to correct the original poster's grammar.

On to the important part, If your g/f has something important planned for the two of you, ditch Half-life. If you had Half-life planned for a while and your g/f just dropped this on you at the last minute, explain to her that you have been planning this get together with your friends for a while and that it's not just a computer game, it's a chance for you to bond with your friends. Good luck.

I recently started to teach my g/f how to play Q3A. It is funny because she like killin people, but unlike us guys wont make an active effort to go on the net and try to figure out how to do advanced things, ie:key-binding, technique. She is plain happy playing bots... yuck

This is not about hte game this about comonication limitation and boundrys. Some of the people on this post concern me with their surender like thinking. As near as i can tell NO WEMON DO NOT LIKE LAP DOGS if your allowing your girlfreind to rule your life she may very well do that but shell soon be as uninterested as youll be. REsoect yourself, respect her, and shell respect you if thier is no respect their is no love. Sorry i got so heavy.
So what did you finally decide?

Get her hooked on the game. I suggest you act like she's better then you in the game... let her kill you couple of times (I know it'll be hard to let a newbie kill you). Then next time, say you're just going to refine your skills so you can beat her. :D

well man if its the . problem just cautiously ride it out man, i found my girl was very interesting during her . and it led to some interesting situations. try and spend time with her, if she's cranky and like sick, she'll be happy cause you stuck thru a hard time, if she's horny, have a nice night man. . . .
