General dating discussion/advice thread

You can make a non-gamer girl a gamer, perhaps that is easier (if they are open-minded). That's what I did. Now my lady can't get enough of Puyo Puyo, New SMB (DS), Twinkle Star Sprites, Parodius, just to name a few. She is not exactly a "gamer", but she plays them and has fun with them.

So I go to London the other day to hang with these girls I went to school with back in the states.

I help them out throughout the night in various circumstances, namely evading creepy dudes.

It ended up being too late for a bus back home, so I stayed in their hotel room on the floor. They were paying about $255 for that one night. The morning after, when I left, they asked me to put in about $32. I didn't like parting with my money, but I figured it was fair, as they were sharing their room with me.

But I keep thinking back to it...I'm not gonna go directly to the whole women being gold-digging opportunists argument, but I really wonder if it was warranted to have me do that? I was just sleeping on the floor from 3AM to 11AM, and, as far as I know, the hotel didn't charge any extra for me being in the room.

Gut reaction: They did you wrong. They were already prepared to pay the full price. You were taken advantage of. I hope it was a well carpeted floor.

Well this is getting ridiculous. First the Dating proposed thread that finally got locked. Then there is the lonely guy looking for a Gamer Girl. Now this one.

We don't need to alienate our female members.

Please lock and delete all this crap. All you egotistical lonely morons go to a dating site.

^yes please.

i want to read about games and cool gaming systems, not how to get a gamer girl, etc.

This is the.... fourth thread whining about females?

Speaking of females: is it just me or has irixith been missing since Jreece's first dating thread?

[mastershmiddy]

hahaha damn, I didn't know there were so many threads about this. This isn't a question of how to get girls, remember. I just mentioned they were girls in case that had a bearing on anyone's opinion.

But if it doesn't, then think about how you'd respond if anyone did that to you, regardless of sex.

I didn't ask a dating question hahaha

Fair enough, but the "hot chicks" title made me think you were thinking of them from a relational/sexual/dating perspective, at least in part. Besides, I didn't want to title the thread "WTF Girls? Why don't you like me?!"
