Going out with someone in your school

[Jiffy]

I think you need to be able to seperate Karate and the outside. There's no reason you can't date someone that happens to go to the school, just when you are in the dojo, that all need to be forgotten.

When two people flirt while in a group, it can make everybody else in the group feel very uncomfortable, and even angry - sometimes angry enough to project their negative other people flirting experiences on some other poor girl on a karate forum...*inhale*

Don't ask.

I think it would do you and everybody else in your class good if you could restrain yourselves. That doesn't mean ignore him in class, or don't talk to him, but...just keep it like you were friends. As a teenager, I know that may be hard, but a dojo is not a place that you go on a date, or to force your personal life on the other karateka.

In my humble opinion.

Oh, and I agree with Jaymac...THREE TIMES!

I think it would be wise to keep your relationship on a "work cologue" status...

Yes, go out with him (as you met him outside of MA school) but when it comes to paried work, try and partner with someone else. Why? For one, you'll get used to trying out techniques on different people other than working on just one person, but also you'll keep the relationship professional and you'll stop losing your concentration and hell stop being "frisky"...
