"Blind Date" with a gamer girl i met online - worst date EVAR

So here it is, my first hand encounter with someone i actually met online!!! I wont go to deep into the details (since they will reveal a lot about me), but i will say that it WASNT with match.com (that has been an epic failure so far).

So at first i talk to this girl online for a little while and she tells me that she is a vegetarian non drinker (bad news for me, because IMO nothing beats steak and beer), however we seem to be getting along well, she seems interested in shit i say, and i assumed that she was fine with my appearance since she's seen my myspace profile. A few days later i find out that this girl is a huge 4chan and ED fan, and also sounds academically capable (both good qualities).

So last Friday approaches, we're all set to meet up, our conversation beforehand ended on a high note, everything is good to go. After work i ensure my appearance is presentable- i shower, shave, put in my freshest jeans and shirt and some decent but not overbearing cologne, style my hair a bit, good to go. I had to admit it, i looked fly.

So i meet her at our designated spot (arcade) and we go to a restaurant nearby that i am known to frequent since i knew they had a good vegetarian selection.
Right away i notice two things - the myspace pictures never showed what incredibly terrible skin she had (bad acne son), and that some of the first shit she mentioned was "drama in her life".
We sit down to eat, right away she starts texting, saying its an emergency and the friend she was texting was at work so they couldn't talk. Some emergency, i thought. We order some food. I figure the who of us would do what everyone else does at that restaurant - order a variety of stuff and share. That didnt work, she ended up eating half of a soup and a small piece of spring roll. And throughout that, she was still texting. I was trying to salvage the situation, since i figured something must have been wrong since we had such an awesome chat online. So i tried to change the topic of conversation several times, hoping that something would catch on, it didnt, she was still texting.
So after the dinner was done (i barely ate myself cause i didnt wanna look like a pig in front of her), i proposed several other places we could go to, she turned em all down and said "lets go to the arcade". At the arcade i ask her if she wants to play something, she rejects all the game ideas, then she finds her sweat drenched DDR nerd friends and starts talking to them. Noon makes a point to introduce me or say hi to me, what a bunch of assholes. So i basically say "fuck this I'm gonna go play Tekken", and go chill by the tekken dr machine for a bit. As im ready to leave, she mentions what the emergency was about - ONE OF HER REALLY EMO FRIENDS JUST BROKE UP WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND WAS THREATENING TO KILL HIMSELF. Honestly, thats just an attention whore. For every 100 000 emo kids threatening suicide, only one does it, the other ones just dont know how else to get attention. I bet you top dollar that this kid's ex girlfriend was either ugly, or cheated on him cause he was so emo, or both. Thats not a reason to off yourself, so buck up, drink a bear, read a porno and go out with your boys.

So i came home, changed, and went out with a friend of mine to eat some meat and drink some beer. Before i left however, i messaged the girl and said something along the lines of "what you did today was very rude and disrespectful, but since im such a swell guy i'm willing to grant you one more chance simply because of your friends drama and the fact we got along online, but if you screw this one up just a bit then the ship has sailed"

She responded with her own message that i read hung over the next morning, long story short she called me dumb, boring, ugly and fat (not literally, but she dressed it up rather nicely). Oh well, i gave the girl another chance and i guess she chose to waste it, too bad for her.

So whats the moral of the story? Whenever possible avoid gamer girls! "But why, theyre girls, and theyre gamers, isnt that what we want"?
No, because in females gaming either leads to, or is a result of antisocial behavior. This is typically not true with males, since about 98% of dudes play games. But you typically don't find a group of 6 hot sorority girls chillin in front of the TV playing Gears of War before they go to parties later that night. It doesnt happen!!! Only antisocial girls game!
And that means that these girls don't know typical dating "rules" or etiquette (like texting throughout dinner, eating half a soup and a piece of spring roll, and hanging with sweaty DDR nerds afterwards). They just don't know how to act!
So do yourself a favor, game with your friends, but get with a girl thats all about being hot, and THEN introduce her to your world, thats the only way to do it!
