I don't know how to get my boyfriend to start playing video games again. He seems to really enjoy them but won't allow himself to get wrapped up in it because he's with me. Personally, I think it's a healthy thing to have interests and hobbies even if it means sitting on your butt and escaping into a world of fantasy.Any suggestions as to how to get him to pamper himself and trust me when I say, "if you want to play, PLAY."

Why not just offer to play with him?

Yeah, this is the first I've ever heard of a gf wanting her bf to get into gaming...

I dunno, try looking for some online type game that you can play together. Or maybe an MMO like City of Heroes, WoW, etc.

I'm thinking maybe she feels smothered and needs some me time...which is possible if he has his own me time...

play with him in what way?

hahahaha, if he does not want to play video games there is nothing you can do. I myself go into my moods. There might be a month where I am playin like almost everyday, but there are also months where I hardly play at all. Right now your b/f sounds to me like he is having more fun with you than his video games-

-do you still ike your b/f?

...to really answer you question...buy him a new console, maybe that will spark his interests in video games again.

That would be a bad idea with me. I'd eventually get pissed and be like "you ****in suck" and break up with her.

Well I know a sure fire way to make him play, but your neck will probably get sore.

He sounds like the kinda guy who is very clingy, and once he starts dating someone he drops everything and wants to spend every minute with her. Then the chick gets fed up, dumps him, and he returns back to his hobbies. Of course I dont know the guy so its all speculation.

Wow this is the first time I heard a girl saying this, I would just say let him be. He's probably one of those people that grew out of video games as he aged.

I know I did, but the only reason why is b/c I'm broke, hehe....
