Funny thing…I always tought ideal date would be me and my girl playing wow next to eachother.

But I have been married for 19 years. And in that time I learned that “me time” is very important.

but my future husband will be going to work. I’ll be at home eating, sleeping and playing WoW, so we won’t be together all the time.

Might be nice one day. But then just think that you have to share the rest of the day with that girl. Eating. Arguing. Talking about rent…

The only people I know that made the “wow relationship” work is if they play the same game, but separately. So she has her guild, does her things… you have yours… Ideally, in different rooms.

And once in a while you do stuff together. But rarely.

But then you talk about what you did at dinner… that is cool… As in “what did you do today honey?” “I played soccer with the boys.” “Awesome. Did you win?” type of conversations, but about wow.

[Greart-doomhammer]

Interesting.But i think it about peeps charachter.We can always change rooms if its too much.But when a gal gets you…I think i can’t get bored of that,have enough of that…Ofcourse i would need a half a hour or two for me in solitude for meditation (i havent start yet )at least…

Haha… no. It has a name: Honeymoon period. Happens to girls as well.

Just enjoy that period. But just like anything good, take it in moderation to make the pleasure last for longer. Or not. Binge it. But know what comes after that, and prepare for it.

You describe how a couple meets. I describe how a couple stays together. And those who forget that, get divorced, partners leave… ect…

Its my general suggestion.

[Vandalino-argent-dawn]

Hmmmm I’ve only ever met 2 people who play wow IRL, they are old time friends and they are a couple. I went to the sea near their home once, and we organized to meet one day. It’s been a pleasant experience but aside from that, I’ve never met people I’ve got to know online. It is a bit of a shame as I am the only person I know, aside for old guild mates, that plays wow, hence I don’t share this passion with anyone. But this is just like all my other passions so, I’ve got used to that, I mostly do things on my own.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I’ve also met a guy from WOW years ago in a pub near where I live, but it wasn’t that interesting, it just happened that he was visiting my city so we met up, but we didn’t have that much of a relationship at all

EDIT 2: to sum up, almost all of my partners come from my field of expertise which is arts and graphic design. I’ve got to know them mostly because of school/university and work, and that’s usually my main method of getting to know people. In my case, online tools have never been helpful.

Next soloq ppl will ask to the game

Dh will have advantage going on blind dates cause they are already used of being blindfolded

here’s something I’ve noticed: whenever I meet a guy who’s cool, mature, and attractive — there’s like a 90% chance he’s already taken. Either he has a girlfriend or he’s married. And sometimes, we’ll start chatting and everything seems fun, and then suddenly… poof, he’s gone. A lot of guys in WoW come off as super passive or emotionally immature. It’s kinda disappointing.

Yeah the issue is, it’s the internet. You will find this issue in any other online game, online forums, discord sevrers, anywhere.
Not talking about the fact that a lot of people are already in a monogamic relationship, that’s just something people face in “real life” jsut as much.
Just the fact, that people just tend to be all nice and happy and from one day to another their just vanished. It’s too easy to do in the internet.
You know, all the benefits without wanting to take the neccessary responsibilies. “Ah, can’t be bothered anymore, want something else, let’s just ghost and move on”

You will need to go through a tremendous amount of humans before you find that one or few who happily stick around you for the next decades or more.
And depending on how your mental state is it can be very crippling to be pushed around and meeting only people who abandon you after a few weeks or months seemingly without reason.
Especially when a nice and honest person genuinely looks for friends/relationships.
Most functioning friendships/relationships happen “by accident”.
I do wish you all the best, but I also fear you will need to go through A LOT of weird people first. Especially as a woman. Not, that men don’t have problems like that and find a lot of weird women, but women are plainly just affected by this a magnitude more.

So in that regard: Take care of yourself and don’t let some weirdos mess with your mental state.

Yeah good luck with that . That is sure recipe of ending up alone and missing the bus of marriage

Until he cheats on you, buys something you don’t approve of. Or simply refuses to do something you would have liked. Or he will demand to have 4 kids and have you take care of them… And you cant do anything about it because you depend on his $$$.

The only way to prevent that is him knowing that you can just leave at any moment. You don’t need him for $$$. You only need him to love you and thats it. So he better step up and start behaving.

Not only that. Whatever OP offers to him when he gets back home… well… she better make sure that a younger girl cant do it better than her. Cause then its certain that there is a divorce 10 years later…

So she better stop playing wow all day and hit the gym to have the most epic physique you have ever seen.

[Nannexx-argent-dawn]

Oh no…thread’s derailing into “realtionship mechanics” …don’t do that…there are way to many individual factors on how and how not individual realtionships work or not. Don’t force your own views/feelings onto others. This thread’s gonna burn down completely away from “meeting people in WoW”

[Popac-moonglade]

You love chatting on Discord? Why not use that as a starting point, join some of the EU WoW Discord servers, do activities with people there.

You’re idealizing a relationship that has never happened and might never happen, it does not to most people probably.

At 44k achievement points you’ve got to be a weirdo, and that’s your ticket in.

[Linalock-firemaw]

I saw your topic on US forum and replies there, seems very odd.

We don’t know how old OP is. Lots of younger ballers don’t want to get married so divorce might not ever be on the cards.

Are you shaming me for my achievements?
World of Warcraft is my main hobby and part of my life. Some people go to the gym, some people collect postage stamps, everyone has their own hobbies.
and yes, I’d rather be weird than boring and gray masses.

[Linalock-firemaw]

Most likely true, because for that you’d have to marry someone very rich, and it would be hard to find someone who is not only very rich, but also handsome, plays WoW, likes you, and connects with you. That’s a lot of criteria making it unrealistic.

I dont need to know it. All I know is that men that are “sugar daddies” have no problem finding the women they want. And they don’t expect anything more from them.

The thing is that women that behave like OP suggests (play wow all day while he works) will in turn, produce one of those type of husbands. And I know what the result is.
