Getting the GF into D3

[Kadaj]

So I've been dating a smokin' hot Ukranian girl for a while now and she's pretty awesome, but not a gamer at all. When D3 comes out I will be spending a lot of time with the game, and she seems laid back enough to accept that, but it would be way cooler if I could actually get her to play it with me. With Blizzard's approach of making the early part of the game accessible to casuals so they can build them into skilled players gradually as they approach Inferno, I think she could actually have a good time with it.

So, does anyone have any ideas about how to get a girl into D3? Has anyone had success in the past with introducing girls to gaming, and if so, how did you accomplish this?

Could you be convinced or tricked into watching Sex & the City or some similar ****? There is no magic formula, show her the game, tell her briefly about basic mechanics and longer term goals. If it's something she would enjoy she will get hooked, the game is easy enough to get into. I got two gfs (although one of them grew up playing C64 games) and my 58 years old mother addicted to Diablo. She plays to this day, finished hell with a sorc and a barbarian untwinked so whenever I read about someone having trouble on hell difficulty it cracks me up quite a bit

I need a picture of her first in order to provide a viable strategy in getting her to play D3 with you.

Are you surprised? The whole community is about item hunting ^^ I don't know about Kadaj but having the internet to thank for all I know in English, it's a subtle difference I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out.

Tell her you'll propose to her.
but she'll first will have to find the ring, it's called "stone of jordan" :P

nailertin - Thanks for letting me know that others have had success with this! The fact that even your mom could get into it gives me hope haha.

Taliesin - Brilliant idea! Although I'm too young to tie the knot, so I think I'll specify that it has to have perfect stats haha. That should take her a while.

Elly - Although it might not be text-book proper English, using the definite article to specify a significant other is a common structure of phrasing where I live. But since perfect grammar is so important to you, I feel obligated to point out that your use of "into" should actually be "in to." You're welcome.

I don't think Elly was referring to your grammar.
