Dating during law school: as bad an idea as it sounds? Forum

[Seally]

I mean...if you're going to be a lawyer and are planning to work in the more time-consuming/stressful areas of law, you're going to have to make room for a personal life at some point. Whether or not that's law school is a personal choice for you. Unless you just want to end up alone or something, in which case, I guess it never matters.

You can just do what most BigLaw attorneys seem to do, and just find and marry the first girl who meets your minimum qualifications, see her three hours a week, and fuck prostitutes.

Or do like A.J. and go to Cain to burn all your paycheck there, Models & Bottles > Slut that married you for your cash, if you're one of those desperate insecure pricks that want a kid at 28 years old, adopt...

i dunno. i think 1L has been different than working. for me, it's easier to compartmentalize your work life than it is school, especially during such a high-stakes time. it seems easier for 2Ls. and 3Ls completely check out, so i imagine it's very easy for them.

I might single out 1L. The rest of LS years are as good of a time as any as far as relationships go. I imagine the Biglaw bound people certainly don't have a more flexible schedule to look forward to.

You worked harder than 90% of your class and you have huge anxiety issues. The vast majority of my section had no problem keeping up relationships.

The hard parts were

1)Finals - you are going to be busy for three weeks straight
2)Dragging people to a city they didn't want to be in
3)Meeting new people - you meet new people and some people develop crushes

The people who are "too busy to have a relationship" seem to develop shitshow psuedo relationships.

From beginning of school til mid to late November law school is much easier than am 8-4 job with a commute.

If the relationship works, you'll magically be able to make time for it.

Seriously though, cuddle-studying is incredibly difficult to actually pull off. This may be your greatest pitfall because it's so sneaky.

Seriously though, doggie-studying is incredibly difficult to actually pull off. This may be your greatest pitfall because it's so sneaky.

Fixed that for something actually difficult to pull off.

No gf/bf during 1L. Too much of a time kill. Go out and have fun, but no commitments

I've actually found the lower back to be a perfect desk with proper lighting of course

The real reason is that 1L girls make horrible decisions. Make sure they make them with you guys.

disagree that relationship-less "fun" is less time consuming

I guess it depends on the relationship. That's been my experience

Also this. Although hooking up with me isn't that bad a decision. I'm good for drinks/breakfast/lunch and I ALWAYS ask how you like your eggs, even if I can only cook scrambled.

How you like your eggs? Fried or fertilized?
