Dating: The infamous “D” word that has a tendency to eat away at the best of us.

Sure, sometimes love can be a little tough, but as soon as your significant other starts talking about shipping out to stop an alien invasion, or talking about rescuing the princess you can be sure of two things: You’re either dating someone delusional, or a video game character. Here a 5 tell tale signs to look for.

5: Really cool hair all the time.
Yes, the infamous fantastic hair. Whether it’s guy or girl, if your lovers hair is always perfect all the time, even if there flipping over the top of a speeding vehicle, or running up the side of a building. Regardless of outside stimuli, if there hair refuses to move; you’ve got a video game lover.

4: Occupation.
Everybody has a job, some are boring, others not so much. If you look at your other and ask how there day at work was and they reply with something like: “it was fantastic, but a boomer exploded all over me, my day really started going bad when Luis startled the witch.”
Well, you know that you’ve got a video game character.

3: Really REALLY big swords.
If they don’t just accessorize with all the regular bells and whistles, but they go the extra mile to carry around an extra 150 pounds on there back of cold hard steel, then you’ve got a video game character.

2: Level Up!
If after you and your significant other move past 1st base, they jump up and scream “Level Up!” and start babbling about where they’re going to use the skill points, you’ve got a video game character.

1: Their shopping list.
Finally, you know you’ve got a video game character as a boyfriend or girlfriend when you walk through the local grocery store, and your other walks over to an associate and asks “Where do you keep your Great Potions and Phoenix Downs?”. You’ve got a video game character.

So there’s the checklist, make sure you make notes, because seriously; these habits can slip past even the best of us. You don’t want to be sitting at home and get a phone call from your local police department telling you “I’m sorry, but your Boyfriends/Girlfriends game is over; would you like to end the game or load from the last checkpoint?”.
That can be a traumatic experience.
