"My boyfriend just bought a PSP. Now it seems like he\u0092s dating his video games instead of me! Should I try to join in on his new hobby or tell him how I\u0092m feeling?And this is surprising because...? Believe me, you\u0092re not the first girl who\u0092s had to compete with a handheld device for her man\u0092s affections. Video games can be addictive to a guy, I think, because they combine everything he loves: competition, excitement, fantasy, technology, and total, utter destruction. After a hard day at work, sometimes it\u0092s nice to just veg out in front of the TV and blow up stuff.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n The big question is, just how much time does your boyfriend spend with his new toy? If it\u0092s a few hours here, another hour there, I don\u0092t think his hobby is a problem. In fact, it\u0092s healthy for you not to spend every waking minute together. But if the PSP completely replaces PDA and he\u0092s more worried about his high score than scoring with you, you need a game plan yourself.\n\n Start by asking him to teach you how to play, and see if you like it. What\u0092s that phrase? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You can\u0092t fight the PSP, you might as well try to embrace it. The next step is to insist on some one-on-one time. Tell him it\u0092s cool if he plays for an hour or so, but then he has to it off. Helpful hint: It\u0092s easier if you things away from the PSP vicinity, like to a restaurant or a game. If he can\u0092t \u0097 or won\u0092t \u0097 accommodate you, then you might want to reassess his character. After all, it\u0092s just a game."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
