Pro tip: she really doesn't want to go back to your place to see your puppy.

.

And no, neither your videogames. Don't even mention them.

 

[BPoole]

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.

No. She sounds like a typical teen to early 20s female. Your best course of action is to not even show her any games. I strongly doubt she cares how much games have come since SMW.

 

[PensivePen]

Help GAF, I'm getting married next year and can't decide what console to bring with us to the hotel for our wedding night. FWIW I don't think I'd be able to get away with bringing more than two.

Cheers

Your favorite fighting game arcade cabinet.

 

[galvenize]

I suspect OP is trolling.

 

[legacyzero]

OP, what the hell are you doin, man?

Spoiler

Call of Duty. You gotta establish your BRO early on.

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Kiss chase, that was a great game at school.
Not sure I would get away with it now I'm 39.

 

[MickeyPhree]

This is the ultimate way to be either friend zoned or to strike out completely.

 

[Ouroboros]

Dude...from one bro to another don't force the gaming thing. It can be a total turn off for a girl. I'd wait until a few dates in. Just show off your puppy. Play it safe.

 

[AuthenticM]

Trine 2. You can play coop with her. It's a really fun and beautiful game.

Also, maybe not for the first date. Go out for a walk by the river and some ice cream.

 

[SeventhSon]

This can't be a real thread.

 

[BokehKing]

Best advice I would say, when it's eventually time to bring her over your house (not the first night) you watch a movie on netflix, through your gaming system.

I think this guy is on to something.

Trojan horse that shit, OP.

It's the only way to do it, play it off casually, hey who knows, maybe OP may actually cut back on your video game time some, because believe it or not

Women > video games

When she loves you, she won't care what you do, just don't forget to pay attention to her.

 

[omegashockwave]

Make her play Atari. Hand her your joystick. When she says it isn't working, you say in your sexiest voice "It is for me."

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

She sounds like your average person, not a gamer. Not a latent gamer. I...wouldn't show her any games on a first date...unless she brings it up.

My thoughts. This girl isn't a gamer but is interested in this guy, and...no. Do shots instead.

 

[Sentenza]

I suspect OP is trolling.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=131991032&postcount=182

I mean: admitting online dating, pretending to be clueless about the puppy thing, describing her gaming history pretending to not understand that she's not into gaming at all, claiming it's "the perfect circumstance to prove her how far gaming has come".
It's too much. He's probably fooling around with people and enjoying the reactions.

 

[a.wd]

I don't care if it's a troll thread, I'm laughing my arse off and the wife is chuckling at how bizarre we are.

 

[Torkith]

This...is a joke right?...

 

[hwy_61]

Best GAF thread in a while.

 

[JB1981]

It really isn't.

LOL

 

[Iorv3th]

While I have her there, it´s probably the perfect opportunity to show her how far gaming has come since Super Mario World.

I have no idea how you got that she is interested in games becuase she plays candy crush and words with friends. So you want to bring her back to your place to show her games on your first date?



If you do decide to bring her back to your apartment, let her find it and start asking questions about them or something. Also stay away from competitive games unless it's something like wii sports resort.

 

[Alucard]

*reads OP*

Man, fuck gamers.

Spoiler

Troll thread for sure.

 

[Qasiel]

If this is in any way serious (doubtful) just play a game you need a co-op trophy/achievement for.

It may end up being the only thing that "pops" that night.

 

[kingwingin]

Please dont... the last thing she wants is to watch you play videogames at the end of a night. She won't be able to appreciate gaming in a short amount of time and will more than likely be turned off from you.

Down play your gaming and slowly bring it up over the next few months.

 

[Live Free or Die]

None.

Just talk and have a few drinks.

This. Dont show her you have anything to do with video games.

 

[Oersted]

This can't be a real thread.

We had a thread suggesting to drop nuclear bombs on the ISIS area and a thread asking, what is so wrong about wishing to live a virtual life.

Welcome to weekend Gaf.

Really, the ISIS thread was too much and I didn't even bother with the virtual world thread.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Don't force games on her, if it all goes well you can introduce her to them over time though.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

detailed, empathic reply

bless your soul Monk

 

[Nintendoga]

Bro please don't show her your collection.

Everyone and their mother played Mario World and plays Candy Crush. Doesn't mean they're gamers.

 

[inm8num2]

Definitely Bad Rats.

 

[FrsDvl]

Just put them on display somewhere. If she's curious about them you'll find out. If she ignores them, well, be gladl you didn't ruin your date by showing her video games.

I hope you're trolling.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Awesome post

You see...this is why we love you Monk.

 

[Tregard]

Holy shit man.

Obviously Knack.

 

[daxter325]

Forza horizon 2 bruh go take her off roading

 

[Mr. RPG]

GAF is so pleasant.

 

[Mugatu]

A girl wants to come to your house and you're first thought is to show her a video game? :slap:

 

[EVH]

Gold thread. Where is that guyWithHatNeoGaf.gif when one needs it.

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

GAF is so pleasant.

I think it's much more pleasant than some other sites I've been on.

 

[Camjo-Z]

take her back to your place and ask if she wants the D

[thomasmahler]

I don't know what you guys are on about. I showed multiple girls the beginning of Ori and the Blind Forest and after they got real sad after the prologue and them cuddling up to me, it always ended up with me having sex.

Gosh darn, I was about to say this

Was she Russian?

I think it is about the same.

Their first instinct is to call anyone a troll.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

This is nature and natural selection at work.

The gene pool is going to stay just a little bit cleaner.

Yeah, I don't think this guy's trolling, but honestly I think this is beneficial to him however. No one here is blatantly abusing any one else.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Put on a movie instead, and relax.
If she wants to play with your joystick, she knows where to find it and how to operate it.

 

[MickeyPhree]

I just read the first to post my girlfriend out loud.

Her response. "What a loser". Sorry boss.

"Its in the closet. I stopped playing street fighter a while ago."

No, we drank Scotch.

I think that everyone here is indicating that just because she's a woman, she wants to get laid and isn't interested in doing anything else. lol

It's not even that entirely, it's the idea of forcing a hobby on someone who may not even enjoy games much. A lot of the other reccomendations, like a movie fit much more.
