It doesn't matter how much time you spend behind the computer, bro. It's good to try and achieve a bit of a healthy balance in life; I mean obviously you shouldn't spend 24 hours a day staring at a screen, but so long as you pay your girl enough attention and are confident and happy with what you're doing, there's no reason why you can't spend your free time at the PC. Making a few friends here and there and going to a party once in a while will really help in your situation, because you don't want to become inept and be unable to function at a social scene or interact properly with other people. But so long as you don't lose touch with reality in this way, you can sit behind the computer as much as you want. Also, you'll find the attitude towards 'geeky' hobbies mellows as you get older - nobody really cares what you do in your spare time once you hit a certain age.

I go to college, have a girlfriend, no job, and spend three hours a day behind my laptop. I think that's okay [img]tongue.gif[/img]
