Waste time, increasingly sad, with computers instead of women (6)

I believe the answer is:

loiter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'waste time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'increasingly sad with computers instead of women' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'computers' could be 'it' (information technology) and 'it' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loiter that I've seen before include "Hang around, perhaps with intent" , "Linger - lurk" , "Skulk" , "Stand around idly" , "lounge" .)
