Everyone’s experience is different, but through the last love affair, I learned a lesson: love thanks to games is hard to endure.
I’ve been playing games since I could read words. My parents usually work all day and don’t come back until late at night, so at home, I’m comfortable playing with everything, especially my father’s PC under the supervision of my grandmother. When I first found out about the internet, I was overwhelmed by what was on it. The internet opened up a new world for a kid like me, making me feel less rural and know more interesting things.
One of the best things the Internet has to offer me is entertainment. I enjoy playing when my parents are not at home. There’s no game I don’t know, I always brag to my friends that I’m the best at gaming. I like the feeling that after every afternoon after school, I don’t need to go to extra classes, I will rush home to play games, get drunk until my mother calls me down to eat.
Because I plugged my face into the computer too much, when I was in 2nd grade, I had to wear thick glasses, bigger than my face. At that time, my friends used to make fun of me to look ugly but in my heart I laughed at them, there is a super interesting online world that I know much better than you guys.
The rambling is to tell about my history of gaming. Heroes who have fallen into the game must be difficult to escape. I am still passionate about this subject until now, my 2nd year of university. Of course, the genre of games I play is also different from when I was a kid. Moreover, the older you get, the more jobs you have, so the time is not as comfortable as before. Some weeks are so busy that I can only play games for 2 days.
About my ex-girlfriend, I got to know her because of this passion. During one of the FIFA fanclub meetings, I met you. I was immediately captivated by the small girl, wearing glasses as thick as me, a smile with two charming crooked teeth. During that meeting, I was like a chicken stuck in rice, unable to say anything even though I was also a seasoned gamer. I noticed that she didn’t say much, just listened.
I did not dare to ask for her contact at that time, but had to ask my friend. We talked back and forth for more than a month before we had our first date. Blooming love is always beautiful. We mainly eat at the roadside restaurants, crowded but also quite romantic.
While getting to know you, I also shared a lot about my passion for games. What I was quite surprised was that she did not know anything about the game, that day she attended the meeting and conveniently went with her best friend a gamer. So I also showed her some of my favorite games, created an account and gave her detailed instructions.
In the first two months, she also responded enthusiastically, showing sympathy and interest in this great passion of mine. But by the 3rd, 4th month, our relationship started to have problems. I feel that even though she was guided quite enthusiastically, she did not make any progress but also showed an annoyed attitude every time I mentioned the game. The point is that she left in anger at a meeting with her gaming friends because we only talked about the game, although I also told her about this in advance.
We had a very tense conversation afterwards. Although she didn’t say it clearly, she made me feel that my passion is meaningless and unhelpful to life. This makes me extremely sad. I used to wish to have a girlfriend who loves games like me, once dreamed of getting to know each other thanks to this passion, but now it’s just disappointment. You cannot sympathize with my preferences.
We broke up and I couldn’t concentrate on gaming for a long time. I try to find other hobbies but still feel empty inside. After a long time, I was happy again and continued to play the game like before. I think that getting to know each other through games is not bad, the important thing is to choose someone who can sympathize with your preferences, can make you proud to be yourself.
