I need help .-.

This girl I like - and whom I think may like me back - said she wanted to hang out with me. We tossed around ideas and eventually she suggested we play videogames, I guess because she knows that I do. She mentioned that she's played Uncharted 3 before.

Anyways, I sent her a text earlier when she asked me what I was doing, saying that I had just forced someone to his knees and cut off his head with two swords. After I told her it was Skyrim, she said "we're playing that".

Well...after my nerdgasm subsided, I started to freak out. Even though this won't *technically* be a date, it sure will feel like one, and I want us to have a good time. Trouble is, Skyrim is a single-player game.

Question: Is Skyrim a good date/sort-of-date game to play with a girl? If so, how should I go about it? How could I make it fun and flirtatious without boring her?

If the above is not possible, what sort of games should I try instead? She mentioned Mario Kart and Call of Duty, and I suppose both of those would work, but they're competitive and I have no idea what her gaming aptitude is. I think it'd get boring if she started losing over and over...but I dunno.


So. Please. Help me. I'M BEGGING YOU!

Edit: Wow, thanks for all of the replies!

watch her play dude, its fun to watch,

if she likes you juss be yourself man

Let her play at least its a manly game about a nordic legend not some fairy tale game like fable lol

Wait, what?

The game doesnt matter, the way you act and your personality is what matters. The game is incedental.

Dude seriously?

SHE.

LIKES.

YOU.

Shes more interested in spending time with you than in playing Skyrim.

She's using you to get to Skyrim.

OK... As long as there is some give and take.

this, you can never go wrong with this (if she likes you she likes you not who you can be [well i hope so at least])

Get the message across: In your Skyrim Play Session, marry an NPC.

Make her kill a dragon and when she loots the dragon bones say "Hey baby, I have a Dragonboner of my own" and slowly graze her boob.

Pretty mucch this. Be calm and let her come over.

You're shy aren't you?

If you have access to a neat arcade, take her there sometime and you'll get to know her, hang out with her, and she can show you what games she likes too.

Be sure to mention that your character can get married to another NPC in the game.

Let her play... at least she's not wanting you to play "Hello Kitty: Online" instead. So be thankful.

Small tip; Women tend to like cats.

Let her play as a Khajiit, and talk to npc Khajiit in the game.

Master difficulty, ridiculous character build. Roll a die to see where you head to first. Switch who's playing every death.

But when it comes down to other games (and it probably will) don't worry about whether or not you kick her ass in it; and if it becomes apparent that you're significantly better (not competitively where you win a few and she wins some, but where you're winning all the time) intentionally handicap yourself in subtle ways. Ex: In Mario Kart pick a character/kart that's opposite of what you normally do.

Just don't forget to wear your Amulet of Mara, and everything will turn out fine.

This is probably not the best place to ask for dating advice, but I'd say Skyrim is as good as any game- possibly better since it has a romantic side to it with the scenery to some degree. I suppose due to it's fantasy RPG nature it may seem a bit nerdy to some girls but from your post it doesn't sound like she'll have issues with that.

Give her more play time than you give yourself of course, and I'm not sure how old you are but being ready with drinks may be a good idea.

"we're playing that"

is all you need to hear. She's maybe telling you someting there

EdIt

Girls use "WE" in a different way than guys do like say with their pals

hope i'm wrong though, its a fine thing to watch your partner RPG, best of luck with that

...Has a romantic side?

Maybe to a Klingon or a Spartan...

Don't hog the game dude, let her play and help her if she needs it. Otherwise most important thing to do is act your self around her and don't be to shy or to cocky. You got to be confident but not over confident where you're just being stubborn about it.

be yourself and most important have fun with it

Have the same scenario going on in my workplace.

All of us were talking games the other day (rarely ever happens) and Skyrim came into discussion cause a couple of my friends want to go buy it with there next check. Out of nowhere this girl starts talking about it to my Manager (one of the people who's buying it), and goes "I spent an hour and 45 mins JUST in the Character screen ALONE! There are plenty of things to consume your time in this game."

When we said the word Skyrim her face LITERALLY LIT UP with excitement and joy! It was F'ing CRAZY! Like.. wait.. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! O.O

-gets on the knee without an arrow in it, and proposes-

XD

Be yourself.

Don't forget to be a good host. Offer her something to eat and drink.

Ask her what game she would like to play or that both of you can play.

Relax.

Have fun. Don't worry about competition.

Use gaming as a way to find out more about her. Simple game questions may come with answers that tell you more about her.

Be yourself.

Good luck!
