If you met someone who was pretty much everything you were looking for in a partner, in terms of both personality and looks, and you both fell in love with each other, but (s)he really hated video games, would you have a relationship with him/her?
 
That is the definition of almost every relationship after a few months. lol.

Yeah, I've done it before and I'd do it again. I would just play games during my downtime and keep it balanced. That way she would see my horrible hobby as a balance of self enjoyment. Also, I wouldn't talk about them much.
 
If I am to ever date someone, they must love either Anime or video games or both. To not have one of my common interests just means love relations would be a waste of time.
 
Depends what you mean by 'hate'. If you mean 'hates playing them', then maybe. If you mean 'hates games as a concept and thinks they're the devil', then no.
 
I may try to date someone who dislike video games as long as the person I'm dating is not very controlling, and trys to prevent me from playing video games, or forcing me to sell all my video game related stuff.
 
I guess it will have to do with her attitude about it. I don't mind if a person can't find the appeal in video games, so long they can respect that they are part of my life and can understand that I will be putting time, effort and money into them regardless of how far we go into our relationship.

I am not going to be inconsiderate and expect my partners to just sit there bored every time they visit without doing an effort to find something in common, however, if they are going to be whining about every decision I take regarding my hobby and expects me to never ever touch them in her presence then kthanxbai

Pretty much my situation. My girlfriend doesn't like video games so I just play them whenever I get time and don't really involve her in them. I play the games when she is watching shows I don't like. Its not an issue for me.
 
I never had video games as a must have quality in a person, but now if I had to do it all over again I wouldn't get within 10 ft of someone that didn't like to play games.
 
Yes, but depending on how dedicated of a gamer you are it can become a serious roadblock in the relationship.

The vast majority of the women I've dated in my life were not gaming fans whatsoever.

My wife on the other hand is as much a gamer as I am, which I believe says a lot. :)

Means you are a lucky person ;)
 
My hubby isn't really much of a gamer. I won't play them when we're suppose to be spending time together but if he's in the other room watching one of his tv shows or he's at work, then I'm free to play video games and do whatever. There are some common interests that we have, however, there are things that I like that he doesn't and vice versa. We each have our own stuff that we enjoy but we also have stuff that we enjoy doing together. It usually balances out.

I don't mind dating someone who doesn't like video gaming, while on the other hand, i love video gaming. I am up for a challenge of opposite likes and dislikes.
 
I don't mind them not liking games, but hating them would cause issues. I thankfully don;t have to worry about that. My husband enjoys games and we mostly enjoy the same ones. We started our relationship basically playing Black Ops II and Minecraft haha
 
You can't choose who you fall in love with I guess and if they really were not into video games then I would probably still date them but just keep my gaming minimal and at times when we are both doing something we enjoy.
