I don't think this girl is a definite Skyrim fan. I think she likes the OP and enjoys playing video games. I would let her play first, and do so as long as she wants. She will ask if you won't to play, periodically through the night, but you should always decline unless she seems to be getting bored.

I would do, however, is help walk her through situations. Not by being a no-it-all, but by illuminating the choices she has available. For example, storm cloaks? Who are thy, should we fight for or against them? Help draw out her options more, as a Socratic Guide of sorts. You lead her to the questions you want answered....is she sweet? Is she kind or cruel? Bossy, shy, can't make up her mind? You can learn so much by guiding this girl along and she will appreciate you faith in her in giving her the greatest gift TES can give.....choice

if she refuses the wrestling try arm wrestling as an alternative. that's a good one. just make sure you dont lose, really go for the win.

Hahahaha.

She wants to hangout with you more than play the game. The game is just a way to hangout.

Best start catching up with past UFC's.

Well i must agree with your spouse there.. There is no "correct" way to spend your perks in this game.. (Or any other TES games)

1.) Start a new save. Let her choose the look of her character. That can svck us in right there, and it's conversation waiting to happen.
2.) Don't bog her down with minutia or over-explain anything. She likely won't want or need to know excruciating details of Elder Scrolls past to present.
3.) Let her wander without any back-seat gaming. It'll spoil the sense of exploration and wonder. Just answer any questions she might ask.
4.) Gaming talk is good for filling any voids in conversation, but the point should be getting to know each other better. See #5.
5.) If you spend all your time talking about your character instead of talking about her family and interests, you're doing it wrong.

Relax, and just be casual and yourself.

I would suggest placing your actual game saves into another folder and letting her start fresh. It's not that difficult to do (my husband showed me how when I made a second character, but then also chose to go back to my old one, so I have two separate folders with two different characters. Makes it easier to switch between them.) But, coming from the perspective of a woman, I would say let her have her own game, sit with her and answer her questions if she has any, talk about normal things (because Skyrim can't really be the only thing you have in common), have some snacks and soda and just be yourself. She appeared to have liked you before Skyrim came into the picture (since phone numbers were shared and texting was happening). Just take it easy and be YOU. Talk about things you like, ask her about things she likes. It's easier than it sounds, or possibly feels. I'm sure we all look forward to an update.

I disagree with this, simply because the game is so combat-oriented. If you don't spec your combat abilities, you kinda get screwed over later in the game, unless you feel like playing on Novice.

Hey,

All's ya gotta do is Bust a MOve, Skyrim style!

Then get naked!

oh and one last thing, don't forget to buy a condem.

1. Ask her if she would like to play, and watch.

2. Do not tell her what to do / how to do it every second step she takes. Only advise if requested, but comment on the cool stuff she does.

3. If she ends up not liking Skyrim, be ready to present alternatives. Either something else single player in a different style (Mario / Zelda / Battlefield 3) or something you can play together (Mario Kart / Smash Bros / any kind of fighter). If you do play multiplayer, let her some time to learn the moves but afterwards do not hold back for her sake. Just play fairly. My sister is absolutely not into video games, yet manages to kick my ass at Soul Calibur every. single. time. and managed to be a surprisingly decent Battlefield 3 sniper after an hour or two at the keyboard.

4. Do some house cleaning the day before. Room / dishes / etc.

5. Have something ready to snack on.

It's tough to say how I feel about her. I don't know her that well yet, but she's one of the very few girls I've ever gotten butterflies and sweaty palms just from being around her. I'm always tempted to text her and say "HEY. GUESS WHAT? YOU'RE AWESOME." but I don't want to scare her away.

Your last sentence also makes me sad face.

If she puts any perks into lockpicking, I'm not sure that I'll be able to contain myself.

This here what they are doing, don't let it happen in the first sitting.

Agreed and dont forget to play Mario Cart like she suggesetd especially if it has split screen play which is great for humour and bonding. Have fun with your friend.

Have this song playing and you are assured to get lucky, JagarTharn tested and approved (then again it tested on my wife, so who knows)

In any case, Prince (and his music) makes any situation 45% more sixy and makes even Peter Garrett look like a good dancer

1) Every 2 mins yell 'No! No! You're doing it wrong'
2) Grab the controller off her if she does something wrong
3) Comment on how beautiful the attractive female npc's are
4) Tell her frequently 'Hurry up, I want a turn'
5) If she tries making any jokes or witty comments- DON'T LAUGH. Play it cool.

Offer to play fleshflute 9000 when she arrives

This should probably not be found lying behind your zipper.

She wants ur cawk

and whatever you do, DONT let her know you seeked advice here! and dont blame us if you mess it up. YOU control your fate.

flippin brilliant.
take this guys advice, it's dead on.

p.s. Zexis, what's wrong with lockpicking perks? way more practical than warfare/magic

Unless it's 10 years from now and you are married. Then it's kinda cute and can earn you brownie points, exchangeable for the baking of delicious brownies.

If she wants to play Skyrim she may already be on heare, in which case you are in trouble OP.

Say your friend did it, say your mom did it, say your hamster did it but DO NOT admit you took relationship advice from BGSForums, (unless it was my advice found at the bottom of the previous page, in that case your good to go )

Sweet mother of God, I need to get a cell phone! XD
