Most characters do have a purpose of trying to make said gamer have a connection for a better response in games, for instance. There's a certain character that dies in a war, he was a childhood friend of a friend of his, they'd been together in that was for 3 games... He was on a mission to find his wife.. and he killed himself to save his friends and troops. It made me sad, I felt sorry for him. It's the same with people in movies. You have that connection for that purpose.You can still play your game, just realise and keep telling yourself that you will never actually get the girl, he isn't real, she's just pixels. In the mean time play some other games to get your mind off of her, or when you're in school talk to actual girls.
