To start off, I'm sixteen and my boyfriend is seventeen. We've been dating for eight months. Whenever I go over to his house he's ALWAYS playing call of duty hahaha. And sometimes he'll tell me to come over and I do thinking we're gonna hang out but he already has a friend over and they just play and I sit there for a litte bit till he kicks him out... Like okay?? Haha he'll just be like "oh hey, come here" he wont even look at me just keep on playing and pat his leg to get me to come sit on his lap. I've kind of discovered a little trick. If I sit on his lap and *oops* I put a hand on his dick he'll kick his friend out in a heart beat hahaha. I mean, he'll eventually do it anyway, after abotu twenty minutes but it's just annoying!! I don't wanna be a naggy girlfriend that shows up and commands he stops playing video games and gives me attention. I also don't wanna come off as a physco bitch to his friend, like I wanna be a "cool girlfriend" and it's not a big deal really... but still! Haha should I just keep the same strategy?? I feel kinda guilty seducing him to do what I want but I want my time with him!!

I'm going to tell you from experience that COD gets old fast for a girlfriend. Wanting to spend time with him outside of his system doesn't make you naggy or a psycho! If he is inviting you over, then he should make an effort to entertain you - that's just proper rules for having house guests, let alone boyfriend/girlfriend situations. He's got all the time he doesn't see you to play his games. Talk with him casually and tell him that you aren't hugely interested in sitting there watching him play his game all the time, and that you don't want to have to seduce him just to get his attention!
I suppose if you were interested, you could try your hand at the game yourself with him as well. That could show him that you're making an effort to do things with him that he likes and maybe he'd do the same sort of thing for you. Be the bold one and call him to go somewhere with you, out of his house where he can't bring the game. Trust me, you don't want to end up having a love triangle between you, him and COD. It's no fun having a man that won't pay attention to you because he's busy shooting pixels online (or offline, for that matter).
I'd say your best bet is to just talk to him about it and see what happens. You've been together long enough that he'll probably listen to you when you say that it's something you don't like dealing with - and it's perfectly understandable too. I hope this helps!
