How to come up with dates with a hardcore Gamer?

My fianc茅e is a big time Gamer and I'm okay with that. Sometimes I'll get him to teach me how to play. I do that to take some interest in his life and something new to try. I'm curious of some other dates I could try with a hardcore Gamer.|||Take him to a comic book store(if hes into comic book charecters) or to a gaming convention.|||Play the games with him and than just start talking to him while playing together to see if he has any other interests if he doesn't than get him to spend time doing your interests and don't nessacarlity have to be a date jsut go on a walk or go to a movie or just hang and spend time togehter|||It's great that you are trying to take an interest in what he likes but you should get him to try equally hard as you to do things you are interested in, too. If you actually like gaming and whatnot then that's fine, but if and you are constantly making the effort with him doing nothing in return, you will soon come to resent him and it could destroy your relationship.





As the first person (Alen) suggested, you should take him on regular dates, too.





You'll likely have to make a few compromises still but if you show him that there are more ways to enjoy your time together other than sitting in front of a console, it can only be good.





If you like the movies take him... obviously if he's not into chic flicks, don't traumatise him with 120mins of something Love Actually-esque; go for something more action based that has elements of romance that you might both be able to enjoy.





If you like eating out then do that. But if he's not an adventurous eater, start off with nice steak houses that he will not find as daunting and work your way up from there.





And alternate: Do something he likes or might enjoy one day/night and something you like another day/night.


That might mean gaming one night, hitting a movie the next time, watching the match down the pub over a few pints followed by a nice restaurant another time.





Paint balling was a good suggestion for something he might enjoy and that you could do together and with other friends. Go carting/race days is another. And of course, nobody is too old for a theme-park with decent rides :D|||get a copy of his game and spend time on the game with him. and try to see if he wants to get something to eat and stuff like that|||Invite hem to a normal date... Im a hardcore gamer and i wont be as happy if you ask me to teach you to play than to go on a normal date. The fact that you take interest in what he is interested is great! Just find out what he likes (except for computer games) and invite him to go with you. Maybe something like paint ball. I don't know, be creative!
