I'm going to let the world in on a secret about me, I love video games. I love playing Zelda, Mario Kart, Kingdom Hearts and even...World of Warcraft. I am a total nerd and I keep that side of me pretty secret.

When video games came up between my boyfriend and I for the first time I was afraid to really dive deep into my love for video games because I had a reputation to hold up.

I'm the type of girl who belts out Disney songs, wears floral all the time and has Taylor Swift's entire discography memorized. I definitely don't seem like the kind of girl who spent eight hours playing "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild" when my family bought it for Christmas this year.

When I opened up to my boyfriend about how much I actually like video games, we had one of the best conversations. It turns out that we both have something new in common and we have something fun to share together.

When Fortnite started to become really popular, I saw meme after meme about how girls wanted their boyfriends to stop playing Fortnite and pay attention to them. Maybe I'm the odd girl out in this argument, but how about you try playing Fortnite together?

I know, it might be a little out of your comfort zone if you don't like video games, but let him teach you how to play! I'm sure your boyfriend would like nothing more than to help you get your first kill. You can take the time to get competitive with each other or you can see how you guys work as a team.

I'm going to be honest: there is no bigger test to a relationship than seeing how well a boy can keep his patience while you cut down trees in every area you go to together. Trust me, that was one of the things I'm notorious for.

Instead of complaining on social media about how your boyfriend has no time for you because he's busy playing Fortnite with the boys, make a compromise! Place bets on how long he'll last in a round.

You could say, "If you don't make it into the top ten this round, you owe me an ice cream date. And if you do make it into the top ten of this round, I owe you an ice cream date."

I mean, who doesn't like ice cream and quality time? You both win in that sense! Your relationship doesn't have to have issues in it because your boyfriend started playing Fortnite. You can get it on your phone and practice when he's not around so you can completely demolish him the first time you play together. Wouldn't it be cool to see how impressed he would be if he found out you were better at Fortnite than him?

I know that compromise can be difficult and it can be difficult trying something new, but I promise, Fortnite isn't ruining your relationship. If you feel like you need more quality time with your partner, express that to him instead of writing petitions with your friends. Take the time to learn a new hobby and show him you're interested in something that he likes. Then, make him watch makeup tutorials with you for an hour. It's all about compromise.
