10 Things You Know If You're Dating A Gamer

In This Article:

Gamers are a special kind of people who possess a certain set of characteristics that might make them a bit hard to understand to most, but if you've ever dated a gamer or are dating a gamer, you'll realize soon enough that you can't help but love them.

1. They are LOUD!

Seriously, it's like they have megaphones down their throats amplifying their every scream. They are constantly yelling so loud that the neighbors can definitely hear them. But hey, gotta let their teammates know how angry they are every four seconds.

2. They are the kings and queens of insults.

They honestly come up with the absolute worst things to say to people who have wronged them during a game. No clue where they come up with it all. It's also surprising how much they just roll off the tongue.

3. They spend hours at a time ignoring you.

You can literally walk around the house naked and they won't notice you.

4. They get their frustrations out.

They can spend hours at a time screaming their head off and then be calm as a doorknob as soon as they disconnect. It's like therapy for them.

5. You CANNOT walk in front of the TV screen.

God forbid you walk in front of the TV and get your honey killed. If this happens, leave the house and don't come back… I'm kidding, they'll get over it. Come back.

6. You can talk, but they won’t hear you unless you hit them.

Have you seen that movie "Click" with the remote that can freeze time? It's kinda like that. They're sitting there and you could literally be yelling over their yelling and they wouldn't even know you were there.

7. They will even skip meals sometimes if the game is just too intense.

They'll say they're hungry and then three hours or so pass, and they're still on the Xbox. Hunger is a mere annoyance.

8. Sleep? What is sleep?

You're trying to sleep? HA. Good luck with that. Your slumber means nothing to them. It's like their yelling has only one setting: all the way up.

9. You hardly ever have anyone over anymore.

Who wants to have friends over when that series y'all are binging is interrupted constantly by angry screaming from the next room? Yeah, not cute.

10. They demand every ounce of attention they can get from you when they're done for the day.

They spend hours ignoring you but get their feelings hurt when you don't give them your undivided attention at all other times. It can be slightly annoying, but you know you would do it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
