How many of you think that their partners are addicted to some form of computer related applications, be it games, chat, or anything that consumes hours and hours away from family or sun for that matter....
Did anyone have any personal experience of such kind?
Would u consider dating someone if u knew that they spend hours and hours on video games on weekends or during free time?

I think if you know up front and accept it, later it is difficult to complain about it. If it is going to bug you, do not date. We can never change others, just ourselves.

I would feel offended if ignored for a computer.

If it something I do on my own time it's one thing, but if I have a partner there it's another story.

I'd much rather have the warmth of a real person then the fun throu a cold screen.

Any time.....grin

How many of us would care if our partners would be so indulged into online gaming activities that, you end up being alone... Imagine, eating food alone, sleep alone, walk alone or even do things alone that normally would involve your partner and u together...

that can happen when someone is really into other activities as well. e.g. Fishing and Golf frustrated

My last two bf's were of that kind...
That's painful, specially when it's sleeping time, when you want him by your side and he still needs to fo some stuff...you end up missing the best part of him: bed chat, cuddling in bed, falling asleep hugging.
I wouldn't like to date someone who's job is based on computer working...roll eyes
