10 Things You Know If You're Dating A Gamer

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 been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
