When you're young with goals it's sometimes hard to find those moments to be with the one you are dating. Especially if you tend to date people who also have goals for themselves. When this happens those at home movie nights and talks turn into seeing each other for about 10 minutes, briefly talk about your day before you pass out dead asleep in bed together (if you are even lucky enough to see each other, sometimes it's just a phone call or a text) and jump out of bed in the morning with maybe a quick kiss and then it's off to work or meetings or the gym, whatever your daily obligations may be. Those nice romantic dinners or nights out are traded in for a quick morning date at Starbucks, in which you have to set your alarm for 30 minutes from when you got there so that neither of you are late to your future engagements. If you're lucky enough to get the whole evening together it is usually because there is some social obligation i.e. birthday parties, going away parties or other big events which really don't allow for a ton of "alone time".
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Then you see that face or hold that hand and realize that it just might be. When it's been more than a week since we've seen each other though, I highly consider just dating someone lazy who has nothing going on in life. Working around just my schedule would be much easier.
