Playing a game together online might help y'all get comfortable enough to meet up for coffee or some such, so who cares if it's "normal." That's just a word in the dictionary, anyway!

If you both enjoyed playing the same games online, but avoided doing it together, that would be abnormal.

I think it would be ringing alarm bells if you were using it as a substitute for normal social interaction. I hit a stage with my ex, where we'd both be sitting silently in the same (physical) room, talking to each other and other people via an MSN chat room. That isn't healthy. Especially when you end up having arguments online, and not saying a word to each other in person.

I hope to make something like that part of my normality. Good luck!

Absolutely normal.

No. It's not.

There's no such thing as normal. you both like it and its a step in the right direction so just go with the flow. whatever floats your boat.

Between geeks. There is nothing unusual about that in the slightest. As long as you guys enjoy something(s) together, you'll be fine.
Good for you man, I'm happy for you.

There is no such thing as "normal".
Do what you do. It's not up to anyone to approve or disapprove.
As long as you are making decisions together, to your mutual satisfaction,
then that's what is "normal" for you. Fuck what anyone else thinks.
They aren't living your life.

Normal is boring. Good luck!

Sounds like a hot geek date. Hopefully you will be online gaming sitting next to each other for real in no time?

For fellow geeks, most likely!

only in my world, enjoy
