5 Relationship Realities You Know By Now If You're The Girl Dating A 'Fortnite' Addict

In This Article:

"Fortnite" has taken over the gaming world within the past year, as well as the lives of our significant others and good friends.

My boyfriend quickly went from binging Netflix shows, something I could contribute to, to binging "Fortnite." Behind every "Fortnite" player is a girlfriend or boyfriend, wishing discretely for the destruction of the game.

Sorry, "Fortnite," but not everyone loves you.

So, here are some signs that you're in the club, whether you want to admit it or not!

"Where we dropping bois?" 

Translation: The madness is about to begin.

Three beeps and a flying bus? Kiss your relevance goodbye.

Wondering why there is excessive clicking coming from the computer? 

Well, you better hope a string of curse words don't follow.

Because then he will yell about how he died to the "the lag" and you will have no choice but to agree with him and fight to quiet a laugh.

If he asks "Oh my God, did you see that, babe?"

You always reply with, "Yes, babe."

Even though you have no idea what happened and all you see is a dancing person on his screen, you are, of course, proud.

The Friday Night Compromise

The compromise being that he gets to play one hour of Fornite as long as I get my cuddles right after.

It's only fair, right?

A Victory Royale 

Translation: This is your chance to pull him away from the game so you better start talking.

"Yay! Great job, honey!"

*Distracts him with as many kisses as possible and pulls him away from the game*

Dear "Fornite," thank you for giving my boyfriend joy, however, I will gladly go toe to toe with you any day.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
