User blog comment:Element02/Dating Nerds/@comment-6907100-20130505171404

So today...as a follow-up to this blog, my g/f asked me again why I do not date someone more like myself (meaning childish and nerdy), and I explained it as thus:  When two nerds date each other, the whole relationship becomes one big competition, and it also becomes somewhat boring over time. If you and your partner are playing the same video game, well, you have nothing new to talk about because you do not want to spoil things if you are farther than him/her...

I also had a bad dating experience with a guy that always wanted to PVP whereas I am more about the multi-player campaign, and even when he would agree to do campaign with me, he would still get behind me and shoot me in the ass with a needler (Yes I was referring to HALO this entire time).

Lastly, if you're playing a game that your partner did not enjoy and/or has beaten before...then they are either asking you why you are wasting your time on that game OR they are trying to show you the best way to beat said-game and get all the special features. I hate it when people take over my gaming experiences like this and it makes me not want to play that particular game ever again because they ruined it for me. And I guess I forgot to mention this, but also, there are just some things I like having to myself...something I can do alone and enjoy as my own time to relax and calm down after a stressful day; and some of my video-games are that drug for me and that thing that is best enjoyed alone rather than with someone else.

Sure, my g/f and I have our video-games that we play together and beat as a team...but when it comes to Pokemon and a few other games like Okami-Den and Finaly Fantasy---that's ME-TIME and I don't like it when other people infringe on that personal bubble and space. Make sense?

I'm still looking forward to seeing what you guys think about dating nerds and other such things.
