What has Magic: The Gathering taught you about dating?
Magic is a great barometer for potential dates. If you tell a girl that you're into Magic and she looks at you like you just insulted her grandmother, immediately you know that she isn't the one for you. On the other hand, you know you have something special if she seems genuinely supportive and interested.
If you're playing Magic with a hot girl, and she has three life left and you have a Lightning Bolt in your hand that could finish her off, do you use it? Or do you hold back and let her win?
I'd most definitely let her win. However much I love winning, I think most guys love "scoring" more.
What's the best reason to date someone who plays Magic: The Gathering?
Generally speaking, Magic: The Gathering players aren't the most experienced daters. But I think you'll find that we're a loyal, intelligent and caring bunch. I can guarantee you'll never have any computer, phone or A/V problems while we're around.
Is it okay to break up with someone via text message?
If you don't mind being known as "that guy who broke up with me via text message" for the rest of your life, it's all good. If you must do it electronically, I'd do it via Facebook instead. It's much classier, and it saves you the trouble of having to tell all of your potential rebound girls that you're single again.
What do you think it means to get to third base with somebody?
It means...you have failed.
If one movie had to be playing while you were having sex, what movie would that be?
Cruel Intentions. I think this movie is the closest you can get to porn without it being considered porn. If that doesn't sound like your thing, you can always pop in your Lord of the Rings extended edition and skip to Liv Tyler's soft-core sex scene with Aragorn. Not that I've ever done that. (It's at 1:12:30 if you're curious.)

I wanna play with Erin! How do I get in touch with her? :)
I'm in her box right now.
Magic players roll with the punches? Tell that to my girlfriend. She sat there for a good three solid minutes just coming to terms with the fact her Jace Beleren wasn't going to survive the turn.
"It is tough to smother somebody while spending four hours a day playing cards" I love it
"These days a home-run is probably only legal in Alabama or Idaho." Love it.
Jacob's photo is really amazing.

Can I win a date with Jacob?
Breaking up with someone on Facebook is "classier" than doing it by text message? How is either one considered acceptable by anyone with an ounce of class?! Sweet monkey Jesus.
Nerds give the best advice.
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
my girlfriend respects that i have my hobby, but hates when fnm, pre-release comes around. every two weeks i go on a huge gaming binge for fnm. and she gets a bit upset that i will take 1 of my days off (i only get 3 every two weeks. friday, saturday, and sunday every other week) to play magic, and another to recuperate from being up until 2-3 a.m. which leaves her with 1 weekend day together that i have to go to bed early on for work... aside from that, she is ok with it. the problem with pre-release is.... my average spending on a pre-release? $95 (box after tax) 35-50 (fat pack depending on demand), 85 (the cost to play 1/2 a two headed giant, 1 sealed deck, and 1 casual gaming {with an actual sealed deck}, or booster draft). so yeah... i am lucky to have my girl.
oh, and totally bolt her.
the guy that said scoring is more important to guys than winning is foolish. kinda seems like he only wants one thing and thinks he knows how to get it?
for me, the lightning bolt question goes like this:
its not about if they're hot or not. if its a new player that im trying to prove desperately that nerdy stuff can be fun and maybe we can have that in common and play together, i most definitely hold back. i try to get them to figure out how to win on their own, so i dont crush them before they get the chance to think about what they can do.
if, however, the hot chick is running a faeries deck 'because theyre PREETTY!' and Bitterblossom has been kicking my ass all night--HELL YA I LIGHTNING BOLT THEIR FACE!
it depends on whether or not beating them could mean they'll never play again if i came on too strong (elf beatdown, anyone?) or if they already know the game well enough to beat me alot, and id like to beat them once for a change.
*I* know how to get a hold of Erin. We sort of used to work together.
I'm not telling, though. :)
What do you think?
Sorry ladies, I'm taken.
My boyfriend played Jace's Ultimate, said something like, take 35, I gave right the fuck up, and we had crazy sex on the floor as a result.
Awesome.
If you don't look at her boobs...she looks like a guy with long hair. *insert creepy music as camera zoome in on her eyes and stare*
