Okay, my story... WAY back on Day one of ninth grade, my friends introduce me to Green-belt boy. We didn't exactly get along with each other, we thought the other was a perfectionist. We both hated perfectionists. Sadly for us, we're on quiz bowl team and I sat between him and his former best friend in one of my classes, not to mention marching band. Well, that took a while to clear up I wasn't "Angel Girl" as he once thought. We become friends... And he eventually got down on his knees and begged I join karate (not really, but he practically did so). Thankfully, I loved karate. But soon enough, we weren't just friends anymore... So now we have to deal with each other in karate, and the crap-load of hormones on top of it. I suppose it is a good thing, but recently a thirteen year old Blue belt (he's a really arrogant jerk, seriously) has joined the adult class and has stolen my training partner. I suppose it's a good thing, but I hate it. And my poor oarnge belt friend.... she has to put up with us in school and everywhere else, too. I don't have enough experience to say this, but I would recommend to not date people you MEET in the dojo. If you met them outside of class, I'd say that's cool. But this is my verdict from reading all these posts.
