Girls Who Play Games was created by a dedicated video game addict who goes by the simple screen name 'Gray.' Based in Northern Virginia and employed in the defense industry, Gray was tired of gamers being relegated to the sidelines of the dating scene. The video game universes, and the connections made there, can be fertile grounds for developing existing real life romantic relationships. After years of hiding his hobby from women, the blogger behind Girls Who Play Games invested significant time, experimentation, and learning from best-in-class social experts into building a life that worked on all levels: virtual and otherwise.

As a result of the successful transformation in his own life, Gray was inundated with requests from friends, colleagues, and fellow gamers to teach them how to merge the virtual and the real. His lunch room training sessions in the office buildings of the Dulles Technology Corridor caught the attention of executives looking to launch a series of entertainment and cultural blogs.

This website is dedicated to sharing those lessons about combining real life social interactions with virtual adventures and friendships. As the demographics of video gamers continues to increase and change, the website will address the dating, sexual, and romantic questions facing this burgeoning segment of society.
