<p>Do any of you guys have any advice or tips for me that I could use so I can manage to balance my relationship and school at the same time?
I like to keep my grades straight A's but I'm worried my relationship could interfere with my goals since my partner is not really 'educationally motivated'.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You’re talking around your point a little bit and it’s hard to understand exactly what your concern is. </p>
<p>Are you saying that you’re worried that your girlfriend is too stupid and that your studies will suffer as a result of dating her? If that’s the case then you’re incredibly conceited and need to reevaluate whether you want to date somebody who’s clearly so much dumber than you.</p>
<p>If you’re saying that you’re worried about managing a relationship and school time-wise, then your concerns make a lot more sense. Just remember that, “I have to work,” is a totally valid excuse to duck out of something with her on a weeknight. If she’s even remotely level-headed, she’ll probably understand that you have other commitments in life than her. I broke up with my last girlfriend at the start of last year because I couldn’t see her often enough with school and cross country going on. If we had gone to the same school, it probably would’ve worked out, but logistically it just didn’t make sense. You have to judge whether it’s worth it to try to make it work.</p>

<p>I think he might’ve been trying to say that him and his girlfriend have two completely different views when it comes to how important school or an education is.</p>
<p>Lol muscle head hatebeinsober, loosen the jeans. He’s saying that his girlfriend doesn’t try at school and because he’s around her he will become too relaxed. Hatebeinsober’s girlfriend was probably being abused by him</p>
<p>Sorry for not being specific enough. I’m not trying to sound conceited, it’s why I put “educationally motivated” in quotes. I didn’t mean it in an insulting manner. It’s just we both do not share the same values in our education.</p>
<p>Random relationship question. I’ve heard that guys never want to be just friends with girls. So if a guy came up to me after a mini argument and said he’s been trying and trying to be friends with me but that I obviously don’t care does that mean he might have been…interested in me? He always made an extra effort to talk to me and he actually gave me some compliments which is rather out of character for him because he’s a bit on the arrogant side…</p>
<p>This is the kind of stupid obvious question that I’m only comfortable asking strangers on the internet because it would be too embarrassing in real life.</p>

<p>I think it would be better for you to create a separate thread 1sparkle2 so this thread can be focused on Gustavo’s question, especially since he created it.</p>
<p>Just know that it’s okay to say no to a date on a weeknight. If your partner doesn’t understand how much you value your education, then maybe it might be time to break it off. </p>
<p>And I think that’s a myth (that boys always want to be more than friends). I’ve been friends with a couple guys since childhood and we’ve always thought of each other as friends.</p>

<p>Off to create a separate thread.</p>
<p>Hey I had the same situation sophomore year.
Unfortunately, I was too polite to find a way to tell my gf that I did not want to be with her anymore. She was not educationally motivated, and we were opposite spectrums. So I carried on the relationship, even though it felt so taxing and lifeless. I behaved blandly like everything was all right. Well, one day, our friends had an intervention, and I revealed that I did not want to be her boyfriend anymore.
OP, save yourself the trouble, if you are seriously thinking about this, it’s a sign that it may be time to pull the plug. Besides, it’s just high school.</p>
