I’m glad someone else feels this way! I think its doubly hard for me just because I love my personal space and I am very independent/used to doing things my way, when I want to and how I want to, etc. This doesn’t sit well with my bf of 2 years, but I try to encourage him to still go see his friends a lot, so I can see mine or just have some time to myself. The worst part is how he somehow has a problem/wants to fight/have sex when I’m about to leave for something important, like work or class. My bf is especially immature about trying to get my attention and he often resorts to this, but we are working all this out.

thats the most redidculous thing that i have ever heard.. im a guy and if women thinki like that we are all in trouble!! no matter the late nights.. outings.. sleepovers… you should have no problem making time for yourself.. you dont have to spend every minute together.. im in a greaqt relationship and my girlfriend and i both work go home do what we have to do for ourselves and then get up if we have the time… you’re complaining about one of the best things in life.. maybe you should become a hermit and then you would have all the time in the world for yourself!!

I always vowed that any man I let into my life would have to enrich it– not divert it. (yes even as a freshman I was this seriously-minded… it’s a blessing/curse

2 1/2 years ago I found this great guy– he’s as much of a nerd as I am and, to the surprise of both sets of parentals, our gpas actually went up after we started dating.

We’re both starting grad school in the fall– he’ll be at Columbia while I’ll be at NYU and I can say in all honesty that every minute we’ve been together has added to my personal journey– never detracted.

Why can’t you just go to the gym together? Find a guy who also likes fitness and work out together…even if you use the elliptical while he lifts heavy weights, at least you guys can walk there together, and maybe even shower together afterwards Similarly if you like to read lie in bed and read together—same book or different ones, I’ve done both! I think the key is finding someone that you are comfortable enough with to just do everyday things together, and to not expect every second together to be a date-type activity. Doing my classwork becomes special when I he is sitting next to me and I can give him a kiss when I feel like it. Watching the Colbert Report is more fun when he is sitting there laughing with me, and even doing situps and lunges gets better when he’s there with me. Maybe I just got lucky finding such a good guy, but I haven’t had to give up any of the things I need or like to do.

just for the record alex “the man cannon” is a mega-douche. jesus h. christ. I highly doubt this loser has a girlfriend.

I totally agree with this post. its hard to find that perfect balance. I have to get up at 5 to work out, and its hard to stay up late those nights. maybe i should learn how to live on less sleep.

Totally agree with you Lauren…I had my whole freshwoman year planned out great, and the time management crap was working…i was getting gym time, me time, homework time…I was super woman…and then I met a guy…yeah…you know the rest…

If the girl is chubby then there’s no way I’d want to take away from her gym time. If she’s hot, her mouth can stay glued to my man-cannon all day long for all I care, so long as there’s not much talking.

Speaking as a single girl of 4 years, I can understand your point. After developing a very independent, very non-accountable lifestyle, I can’t imagine what would happen if there was someone I had to answer to. Sure, I could say I was busy, reading, working, etc etc..but then he’d probably wonder why I was dating him in the first place. Isn’t dating about spending time w/ someone and doing things together? So to take off and do my own thing 90/100 times, it seems my priorities lie more w/ myself than w/ him. Maybe we can’t have it all…

Why even worry about the damn time! It’s hard enough finding someone that you want to be with and they feel the same way.
