Hello. I was just at my friends yesterday and from about 6 to 10 she was on the computer talking to her "internet boy friend" so i hung out with her sister. Then this morning same thing over again. Her dad even told her that it was rude and she didnt care and she knew i was upset. Shes the one that invited me so it makes very little sense too me. Shes my best friend and i dont want to stop being her friend or going to her house but shes a little to attached to her computer. What should i do? _(link)

If I were you I would be blunt and straight up to the point. Ask her why did you invite me if all you wanted to do was spend time online? Tell her you felt she wasted your time in asking you when she did not spend any time with you.

If this annoys her so be it but at least she knows it is rude and guests will take offense. As far as the Internet boyfriend goes the person may or may not be who they say they are.

You ought to point that out to her and that her never getting off the computer to go outside or do things with her friends or guests means there is a problem. Hopefully, her parents will see that also. In the meantime hang out with other people and do not bother with her until she realizes what she is doing.
