Funny I have met so few female gamers that the reverse has never come up. As so meny have already pointed out don't force him into the game. If he asks about it then tell him the story of what happened in your last game but keep it simple. If he is interested still then let him roll up a human fighter and pick his weapon, also incourage him to take both missile and melee weapons. This way he can playa simple character who will not get bogged down with the 3e rules.      This is how I introduced the game to my wife, she played 2e then 3e and was a gammer for about 5 years before she got board and decided to take a break from gaming.  You also should heed the advice of those gamers who have obviuosly had to balance a relationship and gaming. It may be a good idea to cut your gaming back to 1 day on the weekend and perhaps do a short game during the week. lots of us out there game on mondays or wednesdays. This way you won't put your boyfriend in a situation where he wants you to choose him or gaming as my ex-wife did. Occasionally I still miss her.</blockquote>
