Is it a Good Idea to Play Video Games on a Date?
For some people playing video games on a date might seem childish or inappropriate. Those are people who don't play video games at all. Would you want to do somebody like that? If you're a video game fan, your answer is no, 100%.
Of course, it's a good idea to play video games on a date if both of you are game lovers. You can even do it on the first date. That will make it easier to communicate, and conversation will flow without awkward silences. You'll also get to see how skilled your partner is in that game. More importantly, you'll get an insight into their personality. If your date loses their mind because they're losing in the game - they might be like that in other areas of life, too.

3 Simple Video Games for Your Date
You don't want to play some complicated game on your first date. That would move the focus from the two of you to the game. You want to meet each other first, which will happen more easily over some simple but fun video game. We present to you 3 of those below.
Just Dance
Just Dance is a world-famous video game that combines dancing, competition, and fun. It's a great choice for a date because it's fairly simple. All you have to do is dance. To some of us, that seems like a nightmare, but since you're on a date and not on a professional competition - you can relax and enjoy. Even if you don't know how to dance, your willingness to exit your comfort zone will attract your partner. Give them credit for their dancing if they dance well. Or cheer for them if they have a hard time relaxing. Use that simple and fun game to show you're supportive and easy to hang out with.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a 3-year-old game for Nintendo. You've surely played some version of Mario Kart before, so you know how fun and exciting it is. Yes, some tracks are harder than others, but you can adjust difficulty according to your and your partner's skills. We'd suggest sticking to easier tracks to prevent any tantrums. That will make sure you'll have a lot of laughs and time to talk to each other.
Need for Speed Payback
Need for Speed Payback is the 23rd Need for Speed game. It's not the best in the series, but it's still a lot of fun. The downside is - there is no split-screen mode. That means you won't be able to race against your partner on a date. But you can race against other players online. Switch after every race, and both of you'll have fun. While one plays, the other can enjoy watching their skills. If you decide to play offline, then you can be more relaxed and chat while driving around.
