RE: Nerd By Northwest #29 - "Dating for Gamers"
I think I've done the same as you, it's been mostly diplomatic but now the 'correct' approach.. Although, there is also the evangelical approach of espousing the benefits and the wide range in the genre!
I've never managed to get a girlfriend interested in video games, at least not one who wasn't already into them. But I DID manage to get one interested in science fiction TV and movies. It was the Battlestar Galactica reboot that did it for her... after watching it for a season, she half-jokingly said, "dammit, you turned me into a nerd!" :)
I"m still trying to get my wife to watch Battlestar Galactica... she still thinks its only about space fighting...
That's got to be my favorite approach - the evangelical one. I like it.
