My girlfriend and I have only been together for a little over 3 months. I've already managed to convince her to give dice-based gaming a try (we're both free-form role-players, in fact that's how we met). We'll see how it goes. :heh:

My social life improved with playing D&D since we usually had women in our gaming groups.

I met my wife at a game of D&D, along with several people who became good friends and one fellow who became my boss a couple years later. So, gaming has been very very good to me! :D

I met my lovely bride of 13 years through gaming...she'd gone to high school with one of the members of my first gaming group.

She's always been a gamer, but, over the years, she's gotten even more "into it". Now, she's the one who pushes me to set up and run games more often. :) She's also the one who keeps me honest and doesn't let me get away with running simplistic hack-and-slash dungeons.

I acknowledge I'm a lucky SOB.

During my college years, I actually saw a marked increase in female gamers in my group. When I made some roundabout inquiries as to why, the answer was...

"......well, a lot of us know that to play this game you have to have a modicum of brains...also, if the guys are spending Saturdays playing AD&D, they're not seeing anyone. So...a bunch of us saw it as a great way to meet eligible intelligent guys!"

Had to admit, it made sense.

Hehehe. It was a great way to meet single, intelligent guys. From my groups the eligible part would have been in question since a few of them got so nervous around gals that they pretty much couldn't function. It's creepy to see a guy quiver and shake when a new female player showed up...
