its okay! Don't be like that think of the good things about being single.
Yo the best thing about being single is that you don't have to worry about your manners
You also don't need to care about hurting your gfs feelings because you aren't datting. So you can hit on any girl you want.
Then you can also do all sorts of stuff like visting strip clubs etc.

Anyway here is my latest on my dating....
I asked a girl out and..................
I failed. She said "oh its too soon. I just broke up with my boy friend 3 weeks ago. And don't try and prey on me when I am weak."
:(
Well rejection hurts but at least i didn't cry. Now i can fully say, Rejection sucks. Screw my life as Teenager :shakes fist:

Ha! Like that would stop me! I'm naturally charismatic because I'm a nice guy, so I can flirt all I want, even if I was going out with someone.

THEN DO IT!

Fail for my shortcomings!

I married my best friend who is very VERY supportive. She shows interest and plays a few games with me every now and again (I'm in the middle of painting a Tau force for her), and she's even painted a few minis. Shes not "uber" into it but that's fine with me

Single, out of choice rather than forced circumstance. I value my freedom and abhor the responsibilities a relationship would bring. I'm sure I'll see if different one day, but that day is not today.

Gave my now wife the 'litmus test' when we first started dating(we knew each other for a year previous). she asked what i was doing and i told her where i was at the LGS, playing a game. told my friends we'd see if she stayed around.

she came in confused, and chuckled a little. and that's been about it. ever. Oh! the three times she's played with me in the past 7 years she's beat my ass every time.

now our five year old daughter asks when i'll teach her 'how to play ships!' and i smile and my wife rolls her eyes a little.

I have "known" a few girls in the past, but I don't think seeing eachother three times in total count as a relationship, so I voted "had a fling in the past".

I would like to meet a nice girl at some point, probably during university, but I'm far from desparate yet, so I'll just take it easy.

Currently have a girlfriend. She doesn't mind that I game. Something about finding geeky boys attractive. Good with this.

Had many in the past, and have one now.

When i was younger i got little action when i was properly into wargaming alot.

Dropped the hobby when i was 17 and played loads and loads of football and sport got alot fitter then went to uni and started hooking up with girls quite alot had 3 or 4 GFs in my 4 years at uni and few other flings.

Now finished uni back into wargaming again and have had a GF for about a year now.

Damn, My girlfriend broke up with me a few days before. But I intend to to anything I can to get her back.

Once I get over my fear.

Not aimed at anyone specifically (haven't even read the thread), but this is all I could think of when I saw the title:

My gf lives in Sacramento, California, I live in NC...so other then a full sized country inbetween us we make do. Been together over 6 months.

married. been together for 7 years.

Had quite a few in the past, and have an amazing one now who supports my hobby and says it is "creative". Wargaming has not affected my social relationships at all

Only recently got (back) into 40K/WFB, but it's always been something of equivalent "nerdyness." Wife has no interest in or clue about any of it, except that I'm having fun (and, I guess, that it keeps me off the streets).

Celebrated our silver anniversary just over a month ago.

*Forever Alone*

Nothing covers multiple partners in the present, how come?

Are you an animal? This post made me lol hard. If the "ok girls" in your school are furries, I shudder to think what the bad ones are like.

With a partner shes pretty damn awesome although we are on the rocks right now being a part for a long time doesnt suit us very well haha we pretty much NEED to be together to stay happy but hey long distance is only for a little longer (:

You sir are legend..... WAIT FOR IT....DARY! If only my Friend who lives in Michigan would of given me the luxury of dating her. *shakes fist at picture of friend*

Young and single so I didn't vote

Im a college football player, so you can all imagine the stereotypes I have to deal with, which are just as bad if not worse than the ones most "nerds" face. You know, since I'm a football player I must be, immoral, illiterate, irresponsible, binge drinker(well that one might be true), and very vain. People just assume i'm a jerk overall. So, when people, especially women, find out I am not any of these things, they are very suprised. When I say I enjoy reading, they look at me like I have three heads. However, the one that always gets me is when i tell them my main hobby is painting mini soldiers. Many of them think im joking until I show them. After they get over their suprise, it turns into a pleasant discovery for them, and tends to work in my favor. I have had several girlfriends throughout High School and College and I started dating the latest one I met in my philosophy of religion class right before summer started, we are doing great. She thinks its neat that I paint , but does not understand much about the hobby, although she is supportive. I recently bugged her until she agreed to read a BL novel, Horus Rising! Hey, it's a start!

married with 2 little girls. next year will be our 10 year anniversary as well. we married young, she was 20, I was 22. we're happy though. spent a year doing pre-marriage counseling. worth every minute of it. really helped us learn to communicate, and that got better with time as well.

this isn't my only nerdy hobby. I am also an RC pilot (planes and helicopters) and semi-pro level RC racer for monster trucks back in the day. (think warhammer is expensive???)

I also ride motrorcycles (think my other hobbies are expensive!?!)

I will be adding novice piloting to that list.

why say this? because my lovely wife supports and attends these with me.

Aww, good for you!

Well, still here two or so years later, and still alone. My best friend is a girl however and I love her to death, so I'm content.

Ive been with my GF for 5 years, she loves RPG's and 2player Co-op shooters but has never got her head around the whole 40k thing. That said she is playing Space Marine currently so fingers crossed...

Had an Ex and currently couring someone now....

Remember this?

I got her back Yay me ^^

Kind of a social slow so Ive only had a few gf's in the past, but I got a good one now. She likes my painting, but doesnt really show an interest in playing.

Made a bit of a dissapearance from Dakka for about 5 months now. Guess why! lol

She approves of the 40k and bought me some finecast but ofcourse didnt know what to get me but luckily they exchange!

She found me too but then again Im a wanabe rockstar / wannabe nerd.

Shame it wasn't check boxes; I mean I've been divorced so it probably garners a mention.

Surprised to see no option for multiple partners, I'm no Slaanesh worshipper, but I don't often have just the one

I find that its not so much if your a gamer or not, its how you handle your gaming and your relationship

Married with two kids and just found out another on the way.

I think I might be one though

My wife supports the hobby and bought my last two armies in fact =) she even picked out my grey knights

Been in a great relationship for almost a year. She thinks the whole gaming thing is kinda cool, and got her started with a 1200 pt Chaos marines army. Helped that her army is styled on Black Veil Brides

The ex thought I loved minis more than her. I responsed by saying that's she's always reading and doesn't make time for me. We went our seperate ways (not because of the minis or books) and now I've got the minis and she's got her books.

I was in the Navy, went to college, and owned a game store for 3 years....which also sold impoer DVDs from Japan....so I had a lot of exs, the last was three years, and she started doing fetish modeling, and left me for someone else....

Married. She doesn't play, but she encourages my habit, so it's all good.

Most gamers I have met seem to be good people who show hard work, dedication, and creativity. I have used many of my hobby skills on projects for my wife's women's group. It all depends on how you want to live.

Met my future wife 6 years ago. In a pub. Whilst wearing a long sleeve maroon shirt with stonewashed double denim jacket/trousers combo.

It was a theme night.

Funnily enough, I've only gotten back into modeling for around two years as I felt it was more rewarding of a hobby than video games. Plus 2 young kids meant that I could dip in and out of model stuff without needing to do it all the time!

Single.
I don't waste time with others.

Damnit! Thread Necro!

I chose the answer " Had multiple partners in the past " but i am currently in a new relationship even though i had just left another ...



When i was a little kid, like net double-digit age yet

I must have been watching something on television, because i went from the living room to the dining room where the rest of the family was

and declared that i knew what i was going to be for a living. My parents asked what i had chosen ?

I replied, " I'm going to be a bat killer. "

They said, " you're going to kill bats for life ? "

With a small amount of puzzlement I said "no, i'm just going to live alone by myself and not got married. "

" Oh ! " My mom exclaimed, " you mean a batchelor "


I'm going to be 45 next year, no wife no kids, and actually very happy being an un-attached man.

Although that has changed recently as two females in succession have "moved in" on my space :\
