Reflections on romance

[vdatewaterloo]

I read a story tonight, a romantic story. The ending was less than satisfactory to me, with the main character leaving the woman he loved for no reason readily apparent to me. The ending made me angry, really angry, which marks perhaps the entry into double digits of times in my life in which I have been really angry

As for the gamer-girl... No, it's not unreasonable to want to hold out, but you may want to think of it from another angle. You've got non-gaming hobbies (I can name some if you don't believe me) which are more likely to be common interests for the people you meet. However, someone YOU find attractive on an intellectual level is also MORE likely than a random person to be interested in the same intellectual hobbies. So if you start dating a girl who isn't a gamer (or much of one, at least), you can probably indoctrinate her. Of course, you'd also want to do this in a softer-than-Vinay's-usual-methods way. You tend to brick people when you're excited. I would say that waiting for someone who has all your interests isn't wise. Waiting for someone who is willing to examine your interests: that's worth waiting for
