it can be her priority, but it doesn't me she doesn't have time for a boyfriend (or someone to have no strings sex). find me a woman out there that doesn't need companionship and someone to talk to. someone to spend time with that makes her happy and takes away the stresses of life. it's not about priorities, it's about desires. if they WANT something, they will fit it in.
Wrong. Sometimes there is truly not enough time. My last job is proof. Not only did I not have time to pursue a girlfriend, I nearly lost friends because I had no time to hang out.
well, thats you. most people in mba programs are married and/or have kids. people make it work. she very well could not have time for a relationship. but if brad pitt or paul walker came strolling through, i bet she would have all the time in the world.
Not most people. I'd say less than a quarter of the people in my program have wives or families. And those people don't go full-time. They take one class, maybe two. One guy in my program nearly had a nervous breakdown going full time with a family. He said he will be taking one class next semester. Grad students not working full-time barely see the light of day. One that is, probably doesn't.
My advice, seeing as I have a little experience with a few of these trends, keep in contact. Get her number. Figure out which days she has tons of work, and which days she has a lighter load. On the lighter days, give her an incentive. Joke with her. "If you finish your work I'll take you out for dinner/bowling/face-fucking". Whatever she likes. As a grad student myself, work gets done faster when you have something fun to do when you're done.
Like B said, Don't get put in the friend zone. I'm not saying put your tongue down her throat on the first night, but if it's date 3 and you haven't, you probably won't. Test the waters. Put your hand on her thigh, or around her, or whatever you feel comfortable with. Just do it with confidence. No yawn and reach shit.
I don't think you're out of it. Honestly, she doesn't even know you that well. Get to know each other. Even if she's "not interested", she could become interested. I've been in this situation. I dropped the ball after about a month, but I know it is possible to sway opinion.
