Arlon,
I have been dating a non-gamer girl for years now, and I have to say that the key to survival is, like in most relationship issues, communication.
I talk to my girlfriend, and she has come to realize that gaming is something I love, and that gives me an important outlet. She respects my time and, when not gaming, I'm with her. It does help quite a bit that she is in science and works an ungodly amount, but that's not really the heart of why things work out. I know sometimes she has to work on the weekends. She knows sometimes I really need to be with goodly folks like you lot. Let her know that this is important.
As to the game being disappointing... don't play itÂ
I don't mean that in any negative way at all. If the game isn't appealing after playing it, find something else. I would council that you look at the interactions you have been having and see if the game itself is disappointing or if the interactions with other people aren't matching what you are used to, and that is causing disappointment.
Really though, there are lots of great and different games out there. If this one isn't for you, find one that is!
