Step 1) Determine how important this girl actually is to you. If she's not important at all, dump her. Don't string her along if you're not invested in the relationship. It's unfair to her if she's gonna play second fiddle to your gaming habits. If she IS important to you, go to Step 2 Step 2) Find a balance between spending time with her and your gaming. Talk to her and see what exactly she wants in terms of spending time. Does she want a date night once a week? Does she expect you to drop everything for her? These are important considerations, not only for the "Right now" but also the future. My personal experience is that it's not difficult to make time for Destiny and girlfriend. For example, my girlfriend is a flight attendant. She can be gone for 3-4 days at a time [i]per week[/i]. That's a lot of time I can game without worrying about her. [b]But[/b] when she comes home, she gets my undivided attention. She's a bibliophile(reads a ton) so once she's seen me and spent time with me, she goes back to reading some new series and I go back to gaming.
