Best game to show a first date?

To be fair to him, in a world of normal decent people around a dinner party, it would be clear to everybody at the table that that was a joke. It's only on the internet on a site like this that people become unsure.

That girl also has internet, so she can google what are the recent great videogames out there. You are not the guy to impress her.

That wasn't the best post. Not the worst, but not the best. There are some guys here suggesting that she wants the D. This is likely true, but that doesn't mean OP should just whip it out while she's giving the puppy a tummy rub.
No, this takes a little finesse. She may be going into this situation looking for sex, but that may change. Let's say, if OP took a neck up photo and is relatively handsome, but has a strange pear shaped body, that may break the deal. OP needs to just act like a gentleman and let the good times roll. Look for signs that she wants to have some sexy fun, and play it goddamn cool. She'll either jump on you or won't rebuff your advances.
Yep. Nothing wrong with not hiding your hobby/ies, but why the fuck teaching on the first date about it? I don't want to be lessoned on a date.

Dude....Just don't, unless she specifically ask you to showcase a game.

OP, just chill at your your place and actually let her see your puppy. See where the night goes, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't go how you expect it to.
The important thing is to not have her succumbed into doing something she is not interested in; if she sits through a lecture at your place on how videogames got so far from the old days, she may never want to come back again, for example.
Bring out drinks, make her laugh, and just get to know each other more, all while playing with your puppy. Relaxing night=she is comfortable to the idea of coming back again.
Good luck!

That's some double entendre right there.

I have to disagree with most people here....i think it is ok to show her a video game on the first date. Just make it about her and not about the game. Focus your attention on her and not on the game. It does not matter if she likes the game or not, but im sure she will find your enthusiasm cute.
Just remember...the date is about getting to know her and not about selling your hobby.

Dude, no. Videogames should simply not be discussed. Period.

wants to fuck an Asian grill.
Set her up on Ninja Gaiden Black and tell her she cannot leave your apartment until she beats the first level. Make sure she does not have her phone.
If she starts like crying and shit then let her go but make it seem like you are serious. And dont be a dick about it or anything, give her tips and tell her the controls.

Tell her about this game called PT you wanted her to check out. Regardless how it goes after that, you'll probably have a night to remember.

Wait, so you have a date set up with plans to go back to your apartment and...you want to show her video games?
This is why he's on okcupid in the first place.
It's awesome lol
OP show her Manhunt 2. Kill a dude with a plastic bag and she's yours for life
To be fair though the girl I met on that site was into games. The first time she came over my place we did nothing but fuck and play Blur all night. She's still with me, getting on 5 years later.

Dude... just don't.... really.
I can understand that you love videogames and want to share your hobby. But unless she is a "gamer" (as in more than just cell phone and facebook games) it's definitely not something for a first (or seconds, or third) date.
PS: But hey, it's your choice. And to answer your question, I still think Journey is one of the best games to show to non-gamers. It's not violent, doesn't involve killing, it's visually amazing and really easy to play

Then turn slowly to her and whisper "now that's playing with power".

This thread is an example of how not to get a woman, why does the OP feel the need to enlighten this woman he barely knows about the state of gaming?

Lol. This is my answer. To be clear it's not that I think women don't like games or the fact that you play is something to be ashamed of. This just seems weird for a first date. Like, are you going to show her your comic book collection too?
Days like these...
Have a Blessed Day

Please OP take advantage of the opportunity you have. The girl already wants to come back to your house supposedly to see your puppy. Leave one of your console's out by your tv and if she is interested in gaming she will notice and say something, but considering he gaming resume is mostpy mobile I don't think that will happen. Best of luck though.

Dude, the only game she wants to play is one with your joystick. She said she wants to see your puppy, knowing that means she is coming back to your house after the bar. She wants the D. Don't be a doof and show her video games. Maybe put on a movie and get ready for the action.

Real talk, and this is from first-hand experience, the Oculus Rift DK2 is a great thing to show off on a first date if the opportunity arises.
Despite my first 2 posts in this thread this is pretty true. If the OP is serious (doubtful) games is not your priority. You need to get to know the girl, let her know gaming is your hobby but dont force it on her. If things work out she will eventually want to know more about your hobbies and you can ease her in with something fun and not too heavy (SM3DW, Mario Kart, Nintendoland, Littlebigplanet or a dancing game).
I met my wife when my flatmate brought her over and we played Mario Party 6 on the gamecube, so it was an easy transition to us now sitting doing huge coop sessions on games like DKTF and Hyrule Warriors. Fun times.

Holy shit, we thought of the same situation. Just looking over, slowly, as the kill is happening... then move in to seal the deal. It's a fool-proof plan OP

She wants to see your puppy seems like code that she just wants to get into your apartment dude.
Pfft, shows how well you know me, 'berto. (I agree.)
Ah, poor weekend_warrior. I'd be surprised if he's gone for good, though. (But to be fair I have no idea what he was banned for.)
Eh, arguable as to whether that's the subtext here. OP (if he's not trolling) might just be eager to tell a romantic interest about his own interests.
Haha, this is especially funny because when I was super into comics I could *not* shut up about Grant Morrison.
Well said, brother. Nothing wrong with being you.
Pretty much. FBFW my post was reliant on at least one person reading it and knowing me well enough to know I wouldn't feel that way. Also, there's nothing "pretty clear" about a woman wanting to see his puppy meaning she definitely wants to have sex with him. It doesn't necessarily mean that.
Second, seriously
Exactly. Mario Party can really make or break a relationship. I'm 100% serious with this statement. If you can get through that game's coin-stealing tomfoolery and the ridiculous endgame where Toad gives the person who has done the worst like fifty extra stars, you can get through damn near anything together.

The only game you should be showing off is your dick game. Save the gaming histories and coop for when you're actually dating.

She told me she dislikes violence, but got into the Walking Dead, so if I did show her a game then it'd be game of forever, The Last of Us.
Because not all gamers.
