Wait, so you have a date set up with plans to go back to your apartment and...you want to show her video games?

Seriously OP.

 

[Summer Haze]

Skyrim.

 

[InsaneLuchador]

Dude, I know this a game forum, but do yourself a favor and don't say a single word about video games the first few dates. Please.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Using OKCupid and straight to the games after the bar?

Im crying laughing so hard at this

 

[zeromcd73]

Even though I've never been on a date before,

Spoiler

showing her your game collection and introducing games to her on the first date doesn't sound to great.

If you bring her back to your apartment, have some games in a easily visible area and if she asks about them and seems curious, then play and if not just leave it

 

[tcrunch]

So you have a date. You already have a prompt to take her back to your place with the puppy. How about instead of scaring her off you just try to have sex with her?

 

[MMaRsu]

Really dude dont do this.

 

[daviyoung]

Mugen Souls, if you have to

I'd recommend not showing a game to a first date

 

[Yasumi]

Play some Layton puzzles together or something. Intimate stuff you can share that breeds conversation. No girl wants to be plopped in front of a TV to watch someone play a AAA action game.

 

[shoplifter]

Make sure to show her

 

[Fallout-NL]

None.

Just talk and have a few drinks.

This

Save it for when you're no longer referring to seeing her as dates.

 

[BronsonLee]

Ask her who D is

 

[Pachimari]

Really, every girl has played Super Mario Bros and/or play quick games on their phones. She doesn't sound like being into games based on your description.

Don't show any games and just talk and play with the puppy.

 

[PensivePen]

You could wear this and just kind of gesture downward.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

So you have a date. You already have a prompt to take her back to your place with the puppy. How about instead of scaring her off you just try to have sex with her?

I like this plan better.

 

[Aaron D.]

None.

Just talk and have a few drinks.

Yeah, dial back the whole game thing. There will be plenty of time for that down the road when you've gotten to know each other better.

Wait, OP has a date set up with plans to go back to his apartment and...you want him to show her John Cena matches?!

 

[hwy_61]

You're going to blow it, OP. Don't do it. Drinks and a movie. Or drinks and a nice talk.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

3D World and Mario Kart 8 I think are great options. Even NSMBU. Then she'll leave because you're a NERD. Really though, just talk, have some drinks, sit back and watch something. If she seems inviting enough you can slowly move towards other things. Gaming shouldn't be your very first option I think.

 

[«þ»]

Your A Game!

 

[bluehat9]

Rez.

Spoiler

:lol

 

[SnakeEyez]

Damn I hope the op keeps us updated, I want to know if he ends up showing her a game, cuz I mean... Really dude.

 

[dugdug]

Clearly the best game to show her is YOUR PIMP GAME, SON.

 

[DJRawr]

Duder, that is not the perfect opportunity to show her a video game.

 

[Xater]

I think you're mistaken.

So do I.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Please don't.

Please, please don't.

Just because they play match 3 on their phone and played Mario on the nes when they were 5 doesn't make them a gamer.

Just don't.

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

This thread is cracking me up.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Op is about to be looking on another dating site soon

 

[Big Nikus]

God Hand.

 

[metareferential]

She wants to "see your puppy".

Come on OP, can it be more obvious?

 

[Ghazi]

The real question is if you've stocked your fridge with many varieties of drinks.

 

[Rich!]

start with My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute on the PSP.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

I think it's a great idea, don't listen to all these losers. Come back and tell us what happened afterward. A sexy tip is to point out that the game mentions clickers see using vibrations like a bat, but they still can't see you, which doesn't make sense. That'll make you seem smart and interesting.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

You're going to blow it, OP. Don't do it. Drinks and a movie. Or drinks and a nice talk.

Why not both?

 

[kurahadol]

Instantly cringed when I read this. Listen to the Hivemind in this thread OP, don't do this.

Edit: An update. Show her your Creed collection. MY SACRIFIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

 

[Bill S. Preston. Esq.]

God hand.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

This reminds me of those threads:

"How to force my gf to like games?"

 

[Zaku]

Rez.

Spoiler

:lol

Hey!

My import copy of Rez was awesome! Do you know how long that one game and it's attachment kept an unhealthy relationship going? Six god-damned months longer than it should have!

Rez is god-damned awesome!

 

[Bedameister]

Just let her play a game that can be played with your joystick

 

[mtodavk]

Don't do it.

I promise any interest that she shows is only out of courtesy.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

uhmmm.. tmi?

 

[charlemagne55]

It sounds like you should hold off till at least the second date to try to get her into a game man. Honestly

 

[hwy_61]

ONLY bring up video games if she asks what that tablet thing is on your entertainment center. Then you can be like,

"Oh, that thing? That's a Wii U, baby. It's got Mario Kart an shit. You wanna try it out?"

Boom, you got her.

 

[L Thammy]

Surprised no one suggested Meet 'N' Fuck Kingdom.

 

[Joco]

I would not show her a video game, at least on the first date anyway until you get a better sense of if she's actually interested in them. My girlfriend is obsessed with Candy Crush and plays it every day but she's so far away from what I would call a "gamer".

 

[Zaku]

uhmmm.. tmi?

I mentioned no details. None of the depraved details were mentioned. Not even the chipmunk sounds she made.

 

[MechaX]

She plays Candy Crush Saga and Words with Friends on her iPhone, and she said she liked Super Mario World back in the day, so it looks like she´s kind of a gamer.

Dude no.

Just have some drinks, chat, or put on a movie she would be interested in. Don't even mention video games to her.

 

[djshauny]

Youi dont show videogames on a date mate lol

christ lol
