writes:There is a girl whom I met whilst in my last year of sixth form and have been friends with ever since. We get on fairly well and have recently been in each other's company more. Unfortunately, she is a big fan of computer games and plays it all the time, especially when I went round to her house. At first, I accepted this and either watched her or joined in or do some other thing separately. I have now got sick of doing like this and told her to stop/reduce her game time when I am round, which she is happy with. But I am worried if I should have done this earlier and what impression I have given to her by leaving it this 'late'? Please help.

You've said you felt ignored and she said "ok."
There is no problem here any more. This is called communication.
You can't expect your girl / boyfriend to be psychic. You told her you weren't happy and not she's said she'll try and pay you more attention.
There is no "leaving it late" there was just that moment when you said "I'd like it if you did stuff with me rather than playing your games."
Good Luck!! xx

Anything else is surely academic?
