This is Jessica ----------------------------------------------^
^-----------------------This is arcade cabinet for Mr. Do's Castle
You may know her from the Internet-famous photo of her licking a PlayStation Portable or from her IGN Strategize videos. But, while Jessica Chobot's advice on how to land on Geometry Wars' high score leaderboards may earn you e-cred, it won't help you avoid being the "weird webcam guy" on Xbox Live or the guy who randomly messages and dances with female avatars in PlayStation's Home.
Which is why we are starting a new bi-weekly dating column with her. The IGN video hostess and writer knows a thing or two about dungeon crawling, but she's also picked up a few tips on finding the key to a girl's heart. (Believe it or not, it's not hidden within a smashable box or given as a reward after slaying a dragon.) Send your burning dating questions to maximaskjessica@gmail.com and check back on February 19 to see what this gamer chick has to say.

Im a 22 year old college student, single father... Im interested in finding someone, however I find it difficult to approach girls due to the fact that i have a kid. He doesnt need a mom, hes got one. Should I not tell them, Should i just wait a few years until im out of school to start dating, or are there women out there who can handle it. How should I handle it? Please help Thanks

I am 33 and never been able to start or go up to a female and that is disturbing. I dont know how to start a conversation with anyone unless it is in the workplace. Sure I do say "Hi", Hello or how are you and that is about it. I would appreciate any suggestions you might give me

Every time I play World of Warcraft I always create a female character. I am currently leveling up my NightElf Druid, do I have issues with my gender? Am I a women inside? or am I wish all women look like my NightElf?

Hey Jess,
Long time reader, first time writer. I must know, where did you find that amazing shirt? It really compliments you.
I am sure all of my relatuonship problems could be solved if I could only find a place that sold B.A gaming-related gear like that.
Thanks Chobotenator-
All the best,
Kino

My question is, why do women seem drawn to the #$%&@. Case in point. My best friend's wife slept with another guy...and she would prefer him, as opposed to my friend. This baffles me, I guess I come off as a #$%&@...cause I try to be all gentlemanly to women, and they want the #$%&@. I need advise...I mean, do I become the #$%&@, or continue to play a nice guy?

Sup Jess,
I myself have hit a recent dry spell. I have gone on some dates but the last one was pretty bad because a buddy of mine introduced me to them and we went out to a movie. She wanted to bring her friend akwardness ensued though on the way there and back. I even found it hard to engage them in a conversation because they were interacting as much as a brick wall. But they had no problem about yapping to each other about how much they were better than so and so. Drove me crazy anways any advice as to engaging or trying to engage women?

hey,
my gf and i have been together for 2 years and 4 months, all is near perfect, we are amazing together and get along very well. latley she has been telling me that she needs space. she says that she wants to move away for awhile and needs to do this before she settles down. i can respect her dreams and goals, but with this said shouldnt she be able to get through these things with me by her side?, she told me that she thinks she is nuts for having these feelings because i treat her so well and she says im "perfect" for her,her words not mine. and she doesnt feel it fair to me to leave like that. but part of her wants to just pick up and leave, it seems that she is fighting with herself on what she really wants,weve talked and she told me the last thing she wants is to break my heart, i told her that no matter what it is that she needs i will be by her side, if she needs time, that i will be here waiting for her, im so in love with this girl and am looking for an outside view if you could please help me, thank you

I recently hook up with an old friend (4 years) and as they say sex complicates everything, after a good ____ she fall sleep and I let her toke a nap (keep in mind I don’t want anything serious) when I wake her up I ask her if she wanted to stay or if she had to go she decide to stay, now from this point forward I screw up, I treat her like something and wasn’t very nice, I show her the bed let her there and when out of the house to make a call, after a few min I got in and get into bed with her (nothing more happened) and she wake up really early and said she had to go, so I help her pick up her things and when she was about to leave she reach for a kiss and my dumb ass kiss her in the cheek and give her a cheap hug. I bet she felt like shit but what’s done is done, now I try to contact her but as you can imagine I have no luck. What can I do to save the friendship?
