Having a boyfriend is great and all, until you release their inner rage-quit, video-game-loving self. Your relationship does a complete 180 and you start spending your evenings sitting on his bed watching him badmouth his other rage-quitting, video-game-loving friends, instead of at Chick-Fil-A enjoying each other’s company and stealing his waffle fries. From one girl to another, here are six signs that you’re also dating a "rage-quit, video-game-loving" man.
1.You’re frequently late to things.
While you spend your sweet time doing your hair and makeup, he’s sitting on the bed playing video games, refusing to get ready. It’s almost like having a small child at this point because you practically have to tie their shoes for them if you want to even consider getting out of the door in a timely manner.
2. You have to calm him down when he dies…over and over again.
They scream, they yell, they throw their controller. Once again, small child.
3. Talking on the phone is nearly impossible.
It’s like having a one-sided conversation. You talk and they respond “mhmm” for every response and then remind you that when they scream “you bastard!” they aren’t talking to you.
4. You wake up to gunshots, warfare, and the start screen theme music.
If he tends to wake up before you, you’ve probably woken up to either of the sounds I just mentioned. Or maybe you wake up to him rage-quitting as he throws the controller at the ground, floor, ceiling or his head.
5. You spend your weekend nights watching him lose (or win) against his friends on Smash Bros.
This one is probably just another holiday you get drunk during at this point. PSA: Don't ever forget the wine!
6. You’ve learned to love video games, too.
Because nothing beats beating him at his own game…literally.
