Other things in here will get really, really annoying, like anything involving suggesting SC2 to her over and over. The point? If she doesn't like SC2, believe or not, it's not actually a big deal, and by trying to force it or repetitively mentioning it you're actually going to make things worse, not better. So what do you do? Drop it. I don't see why one would be absolutely hellbent on getting someone into SC2 who is clearly not interested in it, and it's nothing bad at all if she isn't. Anyways, if any of you have had gf's that literally have a line of guys waiting on them, I would be really careful when doing something like that, SC2 or not. Bad mood due to whatever + you annoying her / trying to force something on her = bad shit happens. | ||

I play NWN2 and titan quest with mine, and wont push sc2. | ||

I refuse to watch crappy TV-series with her so it has to go both ways Same here. She sometimes asks about how I'm doing and if I won or not. That's basically it and I have no problem with her not liking it. She's also a good reason for me to not play and do something else. Made me a lot more balanced person. | ||

I say just show her the game and explain some basic things. If she doesn't like it, oh well, but if she does, that's awesome. | ||

 My method is quite simple - I'm not trying to explain the game itself and advocate gaming, i rather talk about gamers and create a story  My girlfriend doesn't like PC games, thinks it is a waste of time. This is much better now - since I am still gaming and also making money and being family guy (lol). But I wanted more - that she would understand phenomen of e-sports and give credit to it. I never tried to fully explain the game - I just talk to her like i would talk to any SC fan or regular gamer. I talk about leagues (GSL mainly), about my favourite players and share my feelings. Talkin about players is maybe the best way - I present a real life person and through time, there is a story behind him. Very nice example is NesTea - his story is so interesting and being an over-30's progamer is something, what my girlfriend must rocognize and take seriously. She can see, that games are not for children only, but that it is a manly and fullscale sport! | ||

I just had her tag along during my stream, and she quickly figured things out and actually enjoyed watching me ladder. Before we knew it, I'd been streaming for six hours and she was actually rooting for me, which did wonders for my play. I say just show her the game and explain some basic things. If she doesn't like it, oh well, but if she does, that's awesome. You two sure have a lot of timme lol. | ||

but on topic,If you want to get her into starcraft some obvious ways are through the Day[9] dailies or another enthusiastic shoutcaster who casts at a very basic level. Also, when you talk about starcraft make it sound interesting. Not like, the bugs are killing the people. You know? | ||

 ), so I started up looking the guides, started to look for communities and realized how hard the game really is. Practiced, learnt and the day I beat my significant other hard, they stopped playing, reasoning it that the game is mere 'speedclick' with no brain usage or logic required and that they can't be bothered to play any more.Story of my life. Now I have to persuade my significant other to even play with me. So, our roles are reversed, with the twist, that I have no idea how to let them know/convince them that the game really requires you to use your brain and that 'speedclick' (read APM) is really not everything. At least my significant other understands that the game is very important for me. But, that'd be probably because they too are passionate gamers, we just seem to differ in what games we enjoy nowadays. | ||
