One of the largest problems with being a girl gamer, is, well... being a girl gamer. In a hobby that's dominated with men, it's often more than a little uncomfortable to be the only female in the room. Especially since the stereotype that gamers are socially inept is occasionally true.
If you're tired of the guys at your table trying to stare down your shirt every time you walk by, try a little subtlety. First, don't wear low-cut shirts. I know, it's a terrible crime to cover up your gorgeous pair, but it's the best way to keep everyone from staring at them. If you're really interested in becoming a little more intimate with someone in your gaming group, invite them on a date so you'll really get a chance to dress up. There's no need to suffer through the uncomfortable stares at the gaming table to attract only one pair of eyes.
Secondly, and this one is nearly as hard, be flexible and don't let much shock you. The guys in your group will use your squeamishness against you if they can, so it's best to cultivate a thick skin fast. The less you react, the less they'll go overboard. Being a girl gamer can be hard, but it's usually worth it in the long run. If you can convince the boys that you're not going to faint at the mention of blood and guts, you're good to go.
