Dota destroy chances. True story.
Destroy a guy's chance to chase a girl.
But also, it harms relationships.
Kinships, friendships, courtship and most importantly, relationship.
Fighting with family members, cyber insulting with friends, quarreling with girlfriend leading to disappointment.
Most girls treat dota as a boyfriend stealer. But I think it still comes down to the guy itself.
The ability to stop, and the ability to control. And be sensitive and have a sense of awareness.
A guy should still reply his gf's SMS and MSN, and most importantly, at the same frequency as when you're not dota-ing.
Know when your gf is angry/sad/uneasy/insecure. Sacrifice your game for your gf to accompany her when you can.
Act afk halfway (I always do so) or give fake excuses to your friends that your bro is using/need to help dad do stuff,
to accompany your gf through the phone if she's down. Do not leave her aside alone. Girl alone = EMO TIME.
But also, do not reject your friends for dota too much. This can harm friendships too.

This is dedicated to my dearest BY and his gf, who always fight due to this. :x
Don't kill me after you see this, if not I kill your gf then you know. LOL, jkjk! -_-
(I feel like I'm a 80y/o man, lol :/) AND I THINK I GAVE TOO MUCH ADVISE ZZZ.
And doesn't it make me dulan when you act afk (since I even taught you)? LOL OMG. SELF PWNED ): SELF OWNED ):

Anyway...

LOL, you'll laugh when you know what happened.

SHOWOFF TIME (just for fun)!!~ kay, I feel cyberly nerdified nao. ):
