Not a thing wrong with your English that I can detect.

I won't comment anymore.

Don't not post; just explain what you did post. Not understanding doesn't mean not wanting to understand.

But I wasn't referring to you.  :-D

Think on this way:

If girl parents didn't play chess,her grandfather didn't play also,why should girl love it?

They prefer football players or something like that.

Most of them considere chess boring and chess players also.

I learned english on TV.Didn't have time to study him,so ...

My thoughts to improve the comments would be:

"Yes. I've had lots of potential girlfriends here, but they all seem to have gone."

Personally if she had a problem with me playing I would have just quit chess.

I know I have love problems :D

Sandrasandrita got it! Also thank you Batgirl. Sounds better without t, yeah.

I don't watch tv at all and, believe me, your English is 1000 times better than my any-other-language.

It's probably true that much of what we like/dislike we learn from our parents or at from what we are exposed to during our formative years.  I do think that chess players have gotten bad press over the years whereas the belonging to the school chess club is part of the stereotype of an intellectual nerd and not exactly the schoolgirl heartthrob.  I'm not sure if that is "as" true today, but I suspect it is, at least here in the USA.  I imagine in more chess-friendly cultures such as Russia or Holland, it's less true (but only people from those countries can say with more authority).

Sandrasandrita, thanks.  I'm just glad you can understand my convoluted sentences.

Clarity is indeed a worthwhile goal. Simplicity often leads to clarity but complex topics don't lend themselves to simplicity and clarity has to be acheived through other methods - sometimes these other methods are successful, sometimes they are less successful.

I wish spell-check worked.  I believe that most native speakers can understand the meaning with no inconvenience when words are misspelled or when typoes occur, but that it's more important when conversing with non-native speakers to have the correct words and the correct spellings since accuracy reduces confusion.

I would probably agree with you if she was not the smoker she is. I can't deal with girls who smoke. Sorry, ladies.

Disappointment always makes me light up

Always? Your lungs must be basically unusable by now...
