Replies SB Posted at 5:22 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 There could be a lot of pressure on your part to be as successful as they, and also they may be very involved in their work, with not much time for the relationship. wOlF Posted at 5:22 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 I am confident enough in myself to be able to go out with a person like this, however if they are expecting my to get straight A's join, NHS, and other prestigious things, then no I would not date someone like that.  I want them to base their beliefs on my on what I am, not what they can shape me into. One time, this girl I was interested in wanted to actually see my progress report before she went out with me!  It wasn't that bad, like A's and B's, but I mean come on!  I don't want a person that would baby me all the time, (a little, I admit, is kind-of cute, I don't want to be the mature leader, if you will, of the relationship) I want someone who would like me for me. If they are an over-achiever, then have at it.  I am confident in myself enough to date one.

They make time for you if they really like you. boltinpadfoot Posted at 5:19 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 they might not have time for you. OpethGirl69 Posted at 5:18 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 I'm dating a 15-year-old college student. I know the situation. It can be stressful, especially when they are in alot of programs and such. He gets stressed out alot, but it's nice to be able to comfort him. fynessChocolate Posted at 5:17 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 well that sounds like someone..well it all depends on how that person takes it..cause i am one as well..not going to lie...but i don't think i put my school before my bf...i mean i blance it off..but i still fight for what i want.. Nappylicious Posted at 5:15 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 after a while theyll see you as imperfect and try to change you in all aspects of your life samzkuul Posted at 5:15 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 They might try to make you perfect in ways you don't want to be. They might put school/work before spending time with you. KeiraOasis Posted at 5:14 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 That his career is more important than you. He could turn out to be EXTREMELY rich He could get bored of you and coincidentily dump you. Well you did ask... cammie Posted at 5:14 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 theyre going to focus more on other things than you. ive been in this situation. you come second best to everything!! school, etc. JennyColada Posted at 5:14 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 I'm pretty sure it could be stressful. Having to be with someone whom is never good enough, that could put some strain on you or the relationship. I mean, it's nice to have goals, but sometimes you need to know what is reasonable.
