Gamer girl woes

By justanothergamergirl - 17/04/2019 20:00

Today, and for the past two weeks, I decided to try online gaming, as it's something I've never done before. I already have a creep stalking me because I mentioned I was single and he's a horny virgin. Remind me never to talk about my lack of love life online again. FML

Today, I decided to reach out to someone I'd met randomly. I found them on social media and sent them a message. After telling my SO, he pointed out that that was stalking. I'm a creep now. FML

Today, and for the last few weeks, I'd let the nagging feeling that my boyfriend was up to something go. It's also the day I found his messages to other girls on Xbox Live of all things. On a profile that we both share. FML

Today, I felt so lonely that I went on an online chat website and pretended to be a girl just so someone would talk to me. FML

Today, I decided to try something new and sign up for an online dating service, since I can't meet a decent guy in person. The first guy I talked to told me he used to be in a mental hospital for obsessing over a girl, then told me he would be dreaming of me that night. FML

Today, I complimented a player in a game who protected my ass the whole match. As a joke, I told them to marry me. Turned out the person was a horny 40-something lesbian stalker who spent the next 5 hours sending me pictures and trying to find out where I live. FML

Today, the creepy regular customer found out I was lying about having a boyfriend in order to keep him away. He now thinks this is me playing hard to get. FML

Today, I decided to surprise my boyfriend by creating an account on Runescape, his favorite game. After finding him in-game, I started talking to him, not revealing who I was. After a while, I asked him if he had a girlfriend. He promptly said no and asked me for nude pics. FML

Today, I saw my first FML I published on Facebook. Everyone was bashing me, thinking that I was the problem and the cause for my ex-boyfriend wanting to do his own thing. I used to sit in his room being ignored for days straight while he gamed. Not once did I bitch about his gaming. FML

Today, a guy I blocked online for sending me creepy messages showed up at my house. I have no idea how he found my address, or even my real name. FML

Today, I was talking to this guy I like. He's very private and hides all his photos and wall posts on Facebook. Or so I thought, turns out he has me on a restricted friends list, titled "Creepers." FML

Yeaaaaahhhhh don't ever admit you are a single woman in the world of online video gaming. At least its a learning experience for you. If i ever do use my microphone in an online match i just play off the disgusting, rude jokes and just never say if i'm single or not and if they push it i say i have a boyfriend even if i don't. Some people are just weird, you just gotta be careful who you give information out to. Some advice for you as well: Some people on the internet may act nice to begin with to gain your trust and then the tables can be turned. Just be careful and don't get too comfortable and trusting. And as others have said, after gaming for only 2 weeks, don't start calling yourself a gamer girl. You propagate the negative connotations to do with that phrase and it just makes you look silly as well. Being a girl who games is great :) but if you're going to be a gamer, just call yourself a gamer :)

Hey OP here. First of all, to those saying not to call myself a "gamer girl" after only 2 weeks of online gaming - keyword is ONLINE. I've actually been gaming for about 25 years, so I think I have every right to call myself a gamer girl. Secondly, I actually didn't give out any information about myself. I'm not that stupid. The way he got ahold of the information was by using a third-party software to ping my IP while in a party. Not something I was aware could happen. Thirdly - Yes I know blocking is an option. It's the first thing I did as soon as things started getting suss. It was a stressful and difficult lesson, and is actually the main reason I never got into online gaming in the first place. Also, this happened about 3 months ago. So it's all well and good now.

This is why I don't game online. I'll stick to rescuing princesses, catching, battling, and training monsters, and playing with cards that have monsters, spells, and traps among them, thank you very much.

Tracing your ip will most likely give away your city/general area for the average gamer. He would have to "stalk" quite a few people before finding you. I still call bs on this.
