But just cause one thing is more important doesn't mean you can't have both. Water is more important than food or shelter... still kinda need both. If she insists it's one or the other... tell her to get back to the kitchen maybe she's not! Well than if your gf isn't more important than this game... why the *** are you with her? Unless this game is like your livelyhood and given the price of gil these days I doubt that

Go with your gut feeling. Which one do you think is more compatible for the long-term. I'm assuming you want long-term, right? if it comes to that...i value my friendship with them but i know for a fact two of them want more via it be sex or dating...the third one im not sure about mentioned wanting a cuddle buddy recently but not sure if that was directed towards me or not but she did bring it up as a reason she couldnt sleep the other night so thinking she was just adding to the subject possibly

I can't remember where it was, maybe it was here, but I remember the topic about how girls tend to like ***. Maybe it's the same with the gay community, too! I'm trying really hard not to crack a buttseks joke.

Logging off until this passes.

Bismarck.Josiahfk said: Harbor said: My GF insists shes more important then this game, what should i do? Assuming she's sane and stable, it can mean she feels you prioritize the game more than her. Spending time with her and less time with the game should help. or even setting aside time for both so she doesn't feel below it. If you feel up to the effort I'd discuss it further with honesty so you're both on the same page.
If you care for her more than the game, you just need to convey that properly taking into consideration her needs/desires and you're set.
First of all: Harbor, you trollin'?
Think you are, but seeing as how you're getting quite a few serious responses I'm starting to have my doubts.
If trollin' - O, U.
If not trollin' - Josiah is exactly right. She feels neglected, do you guys live far away from eachother? Because that's when girls feel it the most. Because they can't spend as much time with you as couples that live near one another, it feels shitty to be ignored over a game when they do visit you or chat to you.
So:
1) Either find a healthy balance between games and your girl
2) Play games WITH her :D Let's be honest, sitting there while your partner plays a game solo is just shitty as hell (when it happens very often).

Even if it was a lie, it did its job by making me dislike her and possibly ruining my personal thoughts on long distance dating.
As much as I love having someone to talk to online almost every day while still doing everything I like, I'd rather be doing things with them in person.
I don't think poorly of people who long distance dating or meeting on the internet, but I just don't think it's for me anymore. /jaded
yeah i wouldn't want a long distance relationship
seems like there could be a lot of things that could happen

seems like there could be a lot of things that could happen I'd only do the long distance thing if I were with the person prior to the distance and if there was a definite and reasonable amount of time that the distance would last.
Like, if I'd been with a girl for 6 months+ and she had to move away for work or school. I know that I'll have enough cash to join her in a few months and there's a promising job market for me where she's going... or something like that.

I said 6+ months only because I would have done just about anything to make it work when I was dating my wife (I commuted over an hour to and from school, 5 days a week for 3 years so I could stay close to her >.>).
Before I met her, I broke up with a girl I had been with for two years because she had to move away and I wasn't willing to relocate. So... it's kinda situational.

I also drive a PoS car and bought my wife a pretty decent one, so I could trick her into driving when we go places.

Ramuh.Rowland said: I just don't feel very productive when I'm driving. And I'd like spending a lot of time at my destination, I don't want to be there for like a couple hours then drive all the way back. I used to stay with my friends in their apartment and sleep on the couch all the time because they lived on the other side of town and I didn't wanna go home at like 3am. Also it was closer to school when I was actually going. Yeah, I know what you mean >.<
I can't count how many times I had to drive to school just to go to one class (2.5 total hours in the car, for ~1 hour in class). So many times I would arrive at my one class, only to discover a note on the door saying it was cancelled (RA~GE!).
I did have a couple buddies I would crash with out there, but not very often since I hate not having access to my bed/shower and I also hate to impose--comfort zone.

The one thing I worry about when that I may be somewhat interested in a person online is if they are who they say they are.

I'd think that would pretty much guarantee you're going to get a crowd of people who are a little more mature and serious about the whole thing.

I mean, you can meet someone face-to-face and they can pretend to be someone else.
It's not a good thing to get hung up about, because you can only be so skeptical before you're putting up blocks that make your attitude the problem, instead of theirs... if that makes sense?

I went on a date with a girl that said they were "curvy" and they looked average from the pic. Then after seeing them, they were like 5'2'' and ~215 lbs. ugh. full body shots first. then myspace-esque different camera angled pictures
