We tend to think of gamers as lazy and angry people obsessed with their X Boxes with their pizza man on speed dial.
Of course, that’s not the case. Gamers come in all shapes and sizes. In fact, it’s been proven that we’re more intelligent and creative than those who aren’t gamers.
You mad?
Don’t be because that gives you all the more reason to date us. But before you do, there are a few things you must know before dating a gamer:
- At least one of our dates will be at an arcade…because going to an arcade is equivalent to a carnival. We get the childhood nostalgia of playing pac man and space invaders. It’s even better when we play with someone like you.
- Please do not touch our games. We recommend this not because we’re in love with them (well, not really), but because video game consoles like play station, nitendo, wii, etc. tend to break easily if not handled with care. So unless you’d like to face our heartbreak and possible tears, don’t touch. Yes, that includes the Nintendo DS.
- Don’t panic if we start screaming at the screen. In the event that we scream at the TV screen while playing Assasin’s Creed or Bioshock (especially Bioshock), don’t fear, it’ll pass. Besides, you will laugh at us eventually and that’s okay because even we think it’s a bit ridiculous to threaten to our opponents with destruction.
- You’ll adopt our concentration faces. The more you watch us play, the more you’ll recognize the specific facial expressions we make whenever we’re on that Mario Cart. Video games take a ton of focus. That dedicated concentration might as well be an art form. And if you’ve spent enough time observing it, you might adopt it too which can be a good or bad thing depending on how awkwardly hideous it can be.
- Having the ability to catch our attention while we play makes you bae. If you’re able to take our eyes off the screen or controller without much effort, than you’re definitely a keeper because you have skill.
- You will become a snack expert. Gamers are snack experts because we need that boost of energy only gummy bears or pringles can provide. Soon, you’ll start developing expertise in the art of snacking. Embrace it.
- If you’re not a gamer…that’s awesome because you get to see us whoop ass in Kingdom Hearts. And be our second pair of eyes. Please.
- If you’re a gamer…that’s even more awesome because you’re now our opponent/partner and playing video games just became ten times as more fun.
- If you can beat us in a game…than we might just get married soon. Seriously.
