Do you remember The Dating Game, the show where there were 3 people on one side of a wall and they were asked a series of questions, then the person would pick there dated based on their ansers and responses without seeing them.....THis was really online dating from the beginning. It makes me wonder how many of those couples worked out??


Games are a part of our life...some like them , some hate them..so how about some questions about games??


1. In general what are some of your favorite games now and when you were a child?? Do you still like playing games? (ex: cards, board games, computer etc??)


2. What do you feel are some of the dating games??? How do you handle them?? Do you like them or not??


3. Do you like to watch any of the TV game ?reality shows?? ( ex: Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Survivor )which ones do you like and why do you like it??





YOU got game??

1) I've always enjoyed Monopoly and Uno...when I was a little girl I loved Candyland and the game of Life (I'd jump for joy when my little car was full of blue and pink babies) [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif[/img]...this would scare me now [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif[/img]


2) I enjoy Jeopardy...I like that it gets me thinking...and sometimes I actually get the answer right...but then again I'm kind of a nerd [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif[/img]





Sad to say, haven't had much game lately [img]library/editor/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-frown.gif[/img]

1.I Love playing games.....I play them with my daughters all the time. We have movie and game night.. Monopoly, Scene it, Clue, Cranium, twister...........Iuse to play Spades and Hearts( card games)in college and love it, I like scrabble, chess, trivia pursuit, pictionary...I do on occasion play with my daughters on their playstation( I love Spyro)


2. THe biggest games of dating I see is the DO I Like you game?? It is that not looking to anxious or not wanting to appear to interested....When to call...how soon? When to say I like you?? or I love you??......I played all those in colllege but after being married and going throughall the expereinces I have I do not want to play games. If I like someone I want to be able to tell and show them...If I want to talk to you I call. I have been told play hard to get, don't be available, be mysterious, don't call him......so what is right...I need help with this??


3. I really do not get the time to watch much TV anymore but our newest game show is Wipeout where adults go through an obstacle course to win 50,000$, We watch more to laugh than anything........we have watched Deal or no deal....are you smarter than a 5th grader?? I use to watch Jeopardy but I have not seen it in years. and I will admit to watching The Bachelor on occasion( now that is some game playiong there).

1. In general what are some of your favorite games now and when you were a child?? Do you still like playing games?I enjoy Sudukos, Test twist and other problem solving games that force you to look at manipulatives and figure out how things go together. With friends I enjoy anything from word games like Scrabble to charade type guessing games. As a child, anything make believe won hands down as a favorite activity or game.


2. What do you feel are some of the dating games??? How do you handle them?? Do you like them or not?? figuring out what the other person expects you to be and then not showing the parts of yourself you don't feel they will accept. Following social rules like when to give a hug etc even when you don't feel like it. Have played them.... they led to unhealthy relationship. I think I like being real better. The friendships I make are genuine and if it ever goes beyond friendship, then there is more of a chance it can last for a lifetime.


3. Do you like to watch any of the TV game ?reality shows?? ( ex: Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Survivor )which ones do you like and why do you like it?? I like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy for the guessing aspect. I also enjoy shows like Canadian and American Idol and the dance contests which are games to me.

I like to play Dominoes and Shanghai. I would be happy to play some of the board games that I played when I was a child, such a Life, Monopoly, Risk and a bunch of others.


2. What do you feel are some of the dating games??? How do you handle them?? Do you like them or not??


I do not like the dating game! I do not understand how to play, I don't know the rules and I suck at the dating game.


3. Do you like to watch any of the TV game ?reality shows?? ( ex: Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Survivor) which ones do you like and why do you like it??


I watch Jeopardy. I like it because it requires smarts and I sometimes even learn something from watching.





YOU got game?? I don't understand what this means! However I would have to suspect that I don't have game, just as a wild guess.

I love playing games. I grew up playing games and I always try to get my friends to play but I do not have much luck but sometimes I do. Card games (Poker except now that always means hold 'em and I really miss the days of penny poker, hearts, gin, suicide solitaire, Uno), board games (Clue, Life, Trivia Pursuit, Battle of the Sexes, Scattegories),and I'lladmit to playing video games (yes...I have all three playstations - lol).


2. What do you feel are some of the dating games??? How do you handle them?? Do you like them or not??


Can't stand games. I do not play very well. I think it is very hard for direct people to play by the dating rules.


3. Do you like to watch any of the TV game ?reality shows?? ( ex: Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Survivor )which ones do you like and why do you like it??


No reality TV for me. I have enough reality in real life. I really want to shot the producers of Survivor sometimes since this started this whole reality revolution...especially when I see TV promoting some new reality show. I do like watching Jeopardy if I ever catch it on TV. But now with DVR, I hardly ever watchingany live TV.

1) Scrabble, Deluxe Scrabble and more Scrabble. My Mom and I have played this to exhaustion every Christmas since I was 9. I would like to take up chess. The ex started to teach me a few decades ago, but stopped playing when I started beating him.


2) I HATE dating games, I never know the rules. Once I thought I had itfinally figured out only todiscover that I hadlearned the men's rules not the women's. Dancing backwards makes more sense than dating.


3) Jeopardy is the only game show I can stomach; it has no jumping and screaming.

1. I've never really been a game player at any stage in my life. The only game I have "fond" memories of is a drinking game called Mexicans that I used to play in my 20's with a group of crazy friends in Scotland!


2. I don't do the dating game stuff and handle it by staying away from those that do!


3 Don't enjoy TV game shows or anything else "reality TV"


All in all, I don't think I've "got game"!

Board games - Scrabble, Risk, Monopoly, Chess


Card games- Pinochle & Spades. (Hearts when the kids were younger)


No Dating games.


The only TV game worth any time is Jeopardy. The rest are retarded. So is reality TV.
