I am like that too (@lukie), but I've always had very competitive friends to play games with so it's never been an issue. Never been interested in playing competitively with a gf or someone who doesn't play to win/improve. It's mostly just teaching them how to play chess or poker or whatever if I would play. With my ex for example she'd always watch how I played poker with her cousins, who I taught the game and were crazy about it. Sort of a 'let the men play honey'. But it got very boring for me, but I still did it for the social aspect of being with her and making a good impression on her family and friends. Like someone said, I'd find something cooperative to do, that's something you can bond over but still you can play to the full extent.
