how do i get my GF to play WOW!Follow

Some people just aren't into games. If she's open-minded, just get her to play and help her learn as best you can, and try to help her pick out something she will probably enjoy playing. Although, you may not want to take my advice too much to heart, as I've failed many attempted conversions. =\

Yep that's probably very true, which is why now that I look back on those times that I've attempted to convert a girl to gamer, I am glad I failed. =)

Ima haf tto agree with forget, you dont want her on games with you...just play a lil less to make her happy and your all set. and sometimes spontaniously get off the comp and ask to do <insert generic activity here> with her.

Yeah…this is a touchy subject especially when it involves a significant other.
I’ve was just mentioning this on another thread, but to reiterate …I’m contemplating on getting my wife involved in WoW. However, it has taken some time to even be in the position where introducing her could be a realistic goal.

My tip: If she is a 'girly girl'….try getting her involved in “The Sims”. My wife loves that game…so much so that she has already expressed it to me that if I want to get WoW that I “should” get her Sims 2. Damn woman got me by my balls. ><

Quick correction here. This:



Should look like this:

Lol forget, i was trying to make it sound as unsexual as possible... i comepletly failed.

Hehehehe... I crack myself up sometimes.

Take this advice and master it, 'tis the key to a successful marriage, haha.

Anyways, some good advice has been given here, and I'd like to back the statement that you should very much not get on her case for making mistakes — it'll take the fun right out of it. It is true what they say, my friend. "Patience is a virtue."

But who knows, maybe she's gamer-material and you will be the one falling behind, haha. It isn't as though being a female would make that impossible. :P

This was exactly how I got my hubby into FF. I said, at least try it and if you hate it I'll stop. He's always loved console video games and hated role playing, fantasy type stuff. At first he was a tad put off trying to figure it out. But by the next day it had him. If you have the capability of playing together at the same time, it's insanely fun.

As a girl myself :P I am not a gamer by nature. Anytime I get on the PS2 I get bored quickly. This type of thing is very different. Just have her give it a try and see if she likes it, chances are she will. Especially if you can play together.


P.S. The only thing my hubby wouldn't do was marry me in-game on FF. He told me one marriage was enuogh ><

Although weddings are kinda just there for a gil-sink...they can be kool.

I'm glad I treat my fiance' right. : )

Hmm, maybe I can get her a new computer and have her play WoW with me....

Don't listen to those that say to not mix Gf and hobbies they dont knwo what they arer talking about. IF you want to keep your gf you must have hobbie you both like.

I have keept her over 4years bcuz I was doing these thing s with her and now we arent together anymore bcuz we stoped to have same activities

My last girlfriend absolutly HATED me playing games...even tho she NEVER saw me on the comp and i never talked about it...probubly why i broke up with the witch haha.

You do realise if you try and get her to play and she DOESNT like it...she will bug you that much more for playing it?
I haft to completely agree with forget, if u plan on spending all your time with her its best u DONT have the same hobbie. Everyone needs alonetime sometime.
