10 Things You Know If You're Dating A Gamer

In This Article:

Gamers are a special kind of people who possess a certain set of characteristics that might make them a bit hard to understand to most, but if you've ever dated a gamer or are dating a gamer, you'll realize soon enough that you can't help but love them.

1. They are LOUD!

Seriously, it's like they have megaphones down their throats amplifying their every scream. They are constantly yelling so loud that the neighbors can definitely hear them. But hey, gotta let their teammates know how angry they are every four seconds.

2. They are the kings and queens of insults.

They honestly come up with the absolute worst things to say to people who have wronged them during a game. No clue where they come up with it all. It's also surprising how much they just roll off the tongue.

3. They spend hours at a time ignoring you.

You can literally walk around the house naked and they won't notice you.

4. They get their frustrations out.

They can spend hours at a time screaming their head off and then be calm as a doorknob as soon as they disconnect. It's like therapy for them.

5. You CANNOT walk in front of the TV screen.

God forbid you walk in front of the TV and get your honey killed. If this happens, leave the house and don't come back… I'm kidding, they'll get over it. Come back.

6. You can talk, but they won’t hear you unless you hit them.

Have you seen that movie "Click" with the remote that can freeze time? It's kinda like that. They're sitting there and you could literally be yelling over their yelling and they wouldn't even know you were there.

7. They will even skip meals sometimes if the game is just too intense.

They'll say they're hungry and then three hours or so pass, and they're still on the Xbox. Hunger is a mere annoyance.

8. Sleep? What is sleep?

You're trying to sleep? HA. Good luck with that. Your slumber means nothing to them. It's like their yelling has only one setting: all the way up.

9. You hardly ever have anyone over anymore.

Who wants to have friends over when that series y'all are binging is interrupted constantly by angry screaming from the next room? Yeah, not cute.

10. They demand every ounce of attention they can get from you when they're done for the day.

They spend hours ignoring you but get their feelings hurt when you don't give them your undivided attention at all other times. It can be slightly annoying, but you know you would do it.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
