Ahahah I love this, but I don't see any problem with attempting it on semi-strangers. Sure they might not get it, but you didn't say anything that can be taken negatively... right? — Jesse 47 secs ago

This is not an answer, but sometimes it helps to think of video games as interactive movies. Does she watch movies? — Mafii 1 min ago

I think this is a great post if this was an open discussion. Basically you are trying to guess the information that the OP hasn't included so far with some possibilities. This could be a great starting point for the OP to fill out the missing gaps. However, I don't like it in this format. There are so many possibilities as to why she dislikes them and why a discussion is difficult and so on, many of which might not even be on her side. There is good advice in your post, if I were you I'd try to focus on that and not so much guess stuff. Comments are too short to explain why that is bad :/ — Raditz_35 26 secs ago

I did not downvote so I can't speak for the downvoters so this is just a guess. I think it might come off as very judgmental of a group of people (girls in this case). Also "And by the way, if you tell her about video games, probably she’ll leave you alone. Don’t lose her!" might come off as a big assumption about the relationship and the people involved whom we don't know. — Benjamin Gruenbaum 2 mins ago

I did downvote for the suggestion that OP change things about himself in order to "not lose his girl", instead of looking for a dialog. — JAD 27 secs ago

I did downvote, but not for it being "sexist." I don't think it's sexist, it's just random. Let's not inflate the use of a very powerful word, shame on the people that think so. Anyhow, I don't see anything useful here. You make a random guess about what a girl might like which has nothing to do with the question, then you say that some girls don't like video games which is a given - or the situation would've never happened - and then you get really dark with the permission to speak thing. Also, you shouldn't advice strangers to continue with their relationship no matter what — Raditz_35 43 secs ago

Have you tried looking at the Workplace StackExchange? There are a number of posts on combating noisy people in various circumstances. — Kozaky 49 secs ago

Too little for a full answer, but I would suggest talking to them in stead of passive-agressive 'Sighing annoyingly'. The later can badly influence the atmosphere ;) — Geliormth 1 min ago

while I think ideally we would like online interactions to be the same as real life ones, I disagree that they really are. Online you can't convey tone or body language accurately as the most obvious example, but as well most people tend to be less self-aware online. Examples of that can be pursuing someone to pressure them into continuing the conversation more so than they would in person, letting out their frustrations on the other person when in person they might internalize it a bit more before letting loose, etc. — BKlassen 1 min ago

My wife has slips like this from time to time (let's say... once a year) and so do I (for example, I was really against a type of dance she liked for some reason I couldn't later figure out and said it's for "lame people" initially out of instinct) - I'm pretty sure we're compatible and happily married for over 10 years and are best friends. Just because relationships have disagreements or people make these sort of mistakes doesn't mean bad intent. That's why good and honest communication is so important. — Benjamin Gruenbaum 1 min ago

I agree being direct is good advice but I do still think that with online interactions phrasing becomes much more important because of the differences I mention — BKlassen 29 secs ago

If you want to know why the question is still closed, it will be better to ask on meta than in comments. As I read the question it still seems too broad and likely off-topic-- as written it requires us to imagine how this girl's mind works, imagine what she thinks of you and why, and imagine how she might respond to things you might do. All based on a single example that does not demonstrate that she hates, or even dislikes, you, and where the incident was based on you alone (you were late to class and wanted a special exemption for it). I don't see any IPS content here. — Upper_Case 1 min ago

@Noon there is plenty of explanation here for why this was suggested and sounds like a potentially very good answer. Would you please back off with this, it's very antagonistic — BKlassen 1 min ago

I downvoted this answer because I read its basic premise to be "It might not work out for all these hypotheticals, so stop trying" which is not a good enough reason for a frame challenge of telling the OP not to pursue their intended goal. — spiral succulent 59 secs ago

Unfortunately as the question is off topic, there almost no way the answer could both answer the question and be on-topic for IPS. Thank you for your contribution, keep an eye out for good questions and check out interpersonal.stackexchange.com/help for tips on identifying a good question and crafting a good answer.
