So it's your first time touring the apartment of your crush. You are trying to find some household objects that explain a little more about them. Maybe a family picture, to see who's who from the family conversations. Possibly music to see what their taste is. Then you set your eyes on the living room. Jackpot. From here, you can discover much more about your crush than just a picture or a book.
Xbox
Recommended for you
If you see this console set up, your crush loves to socialize. They may play video games for days on end, but they are the first to know who's hosting this weekend's party. Being so social, they surprisingly have a very small group of friends. So cherish the fact you made it to their apartment! However, be warned. Owners of Xbox's tend to be "know-it-all's". With the console's small library of games, their perception of the best game is very narrow-minded. If you do begin to date them, try to bring them out of their comfort zone to expose them to better ideas (and games).
PlayStation
Now a person with this console is more into gaming than the Xbox owner. They are the type of people who are very competitive. You may have seen videos posted where a kid threw the TV out the window because they lost. That is a PlayStation player. But do not fear! This reaction is because they put their heart into everything they do. So the insane TV throwing videos do not show you the kind and sweet person they are when their online team wins a FIFA championship. PlayStation gamers listen to the whole story and do not skip the cut scenes. If you need advice, these are the people who will listen to you from start to finish.
Computer
You have met THE gamer. You may have noticed the two computer monitors set up on one desk. And the mouse that has more buttons than the alphabet.They might have this article on one screen while waiting for players to join their game on the other. Don't run and give them a chance. They are geniuses. The wide range of games gives them the advantage to know random facts. Ask them what is the best game they played this week. You have started an hour conversation that may lead to Googling why fruit flies are called fruit flies. If a computer gamer is interested in you, keep them. They put 110% into everything to get what they want. So the fact they left their screens, socialized, met you, and brought you to their apartment is HUGE.
Wii/WiiU
This person enjoys to party... Mario Party! People who own a Wii love to have friends over for some friendly competition. They are the leaders in the group, and are the ones to send out the text "Hey, come over. I bought the new Just Dance." If you run out of ideas for dates, this person will think out of the box. With their proper and clean personality, they tend to be the people family ask why you're not married yet. The kid friendly games can rub off on them, and certain situations may not be taken seriously. So,quickly steer them in the right direction before they steer you off Rainbow Road.
Handheld
This is slightly harder to spot. Handheld consoles, like the DS, are small in size. However, the signs are obvious. These are your "too involved in everything" type of people. Being President of the Spanish club, starting Quarterback of the football team, and a school tour guide, there is not time to sit behind a TV for more than 10 minutes. Gaming is actually more therapeutic than entertaining to them. With the busy lifestyle they have, the ride on the bus from an away game or five minutes before class gives them time to ease from the chaotic schedule. Feel free to have date night at home with the handheld gamer. Twenty minutes in watching a movie will have your crush at ease and fast asleep. At this point in time, you may switch to your latest Netflix series you are binge watching.
Old School
If you see a giant pinball machine or a TV with a back, you have an old school gamer. These people have saved and collected everything since they could begin pressing the A button. One sentence people tend to say around them is "Oh wow, I remember this." They dominated in their childhood, academically and socially. This is not saying they peeked. However, if you asked what time period would they go back to, middle school will be in the top five. They will make you feel young anytime you are around them. Their heart is as big as their antique games collection. They see the good things in life, and will always bring you up if you are feeling down.
Multiple Consoles
If you see more than one listed above, do not panic. They are not going to be every single trait listed. But they are more accommodating to fit the needs of friends and family. So pick out the traits that match with them the most and realize the other traits may be their roommate. And if you are a better match with their roommate, don't make the whole situation awkward.
