Cherry Blossom 35 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 That's ok, I'll just move in with her on our third date so she'll just HAVE to see me when she gets home at night and before she leaves for practice in the mornings! :lmao: Great plan!
Stockalone Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well, my friend who is really close to her, told me that her life is VERY busy. Rowing is a morning sport, which means you get up at 3 or 4 AM every morning and go hit the river hard which means 9 or 10 PM bed times are the norm. Also, this means that your weekends are also packed with races and meets and practice. so there's little going out at night. Additionally she's got a pretty hectic job at a non-profit and like most professionals in the area 10-hour work days are the norm. To top that, she teaches spinning at a gym 3 times a week and also heads the board of directors of a couple of associations. So I do see why she's so busy, her friends speak very highly of her and wish she dated more. She's usually by herself at parties and when she's not doing all of these things, she's usually resting. In fact, most of her friends from rowing, are all single and don't date very often. That's why you'll find rowers dating rowers more often than not. So I get it. And I like her. I just want to see if there's anything there. I guess I like a challenge Seems like spare time is going to be a problem when it comes to dating this woman. A few questions come to mind: Are they rowing only for fun these days or are they still (semi-)professional athlethes? Do you know how long her and the other women are planning on performing on a competitive level? Can you live with the fact that she will occasionally cancel last minute because training runs longer than expected, the start of a race got delayed, etc.? Will you only get what little spare time there is in her daily routine or would she make some extra time for you? Personally, I would want those questions answered, but you can look for those answers while dating her. Just make sure you know where you stand with her when you date her.

CommitmentPhobe Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 So the one that was all over you, you weren't interested in, but the one that you can't even get to see within a few weeks you're gaga over.... And as soon as you get off the hook you get reeled back in It's all a bit predictable from where I'm standing but it's your car crash rod, enjoy it.
