Is it possible? Can you actually get your girlfriend to finally like the game that you’ve been obsessively playing for weeks? Well, it depends. If your girlfriend is a videogame enthusiast like you, then you don’t need to read this article. But if she’s not into games like you, it’s going to be challenge. Take note: I didn’t say it’s impossible. It’s a challenge. And challenges are doable right? So here are ways you can invite your girlfriend to play video games. I cannot guarantee she will be a videogame fanatic overnight but if you do it without intruding on her daily life, then maybe she can finally play Dark Souls or even a Final Fantasy.

Show her the ropes

Let her pick a game she finds interesting and show her how it’s played. You can be a mentor to her. Whether it’s Gran Turismo, Dead Rising 3, Watch_Dogs, Katamari Damacy or whatever game she picks, help her out. But also, let her try and feel the controls on her own. When she finds some parts difficult, you can demonstrate how the controls are done and then you can let her try again. This is a good way to let her experience the game.

Play games with multiplayer

Got any games that let you play 2-player modes? Pick that game and let your girlfriend be the second player. You can pick a variety of games with multiplayer modes, such as Brothers, Twisted Metal, Ultra Street Fighter IV, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. and more. This can bring the fun for her and it’ll let you bond further in your relationship (just be careful not to be a jerk okay?).

Suggest an appropriate time to play…

You and your girlfriend have your own time doing stuff. When she’s doing work, you might be doing something else. When you’re doing work, she might be doing something else too. And when it comes to video games, she might be doing something else. If you’d like her to join you in gaming, you can suggest with her an appropriate time to play. You can ask her what days or what time she’s free during the week. You can work together to find the time that both of you can play together. Friday, Saturday, Wednesday night or whatever, find that right time.

…And make sure it doesn’t intrude on her time

This is very important because if you keep suggesting on playing on some critical times on her daily life, you’re just looking like a jerk already. So work it out with her so she can relax and play on whatever suggested time both of you agree on.

Cheer her on

If your girlfriend finds it difficult to play a game she chose even after knowing how to play it, then cheer her on. Encourage her to overcome the difficulty. Let her feel that you’re there for her.

Discuss options when she wants further her interest in gaming

If you’re girlfriend does get interested into video games to the point that she wants to further her interest in gaming, this is a good time to discuss the options. Ask her what consoles she wants, what games she sees interesting, etc.

So these are the ways you can invite your girlfriend to play video games. I cannot guarantee that one of these ways will make your girlfriend an instant gamer but by easing her into your gaming interest, she’ll be able to understand what gaming is like and maybe, just maybe, she’ll love what she sees and get into gaming like you.
