Dating someone that goes to the same school as u?

Dallas/FtWorth

All things considered, I wouldn't date somebody from school...just a personal rule...same as dating somebody at work. I violated that rule, and just got out of a bad thing.

There's been stuff in this thread about the possibility of this relationship going bad. So what? Go for it. You've got cajones right?

[Mr. Mike]

cajones is no replacement for ethics and foresight.

What does ethics and foresight have to do with asking a girl out? Is it not better for this person to share his feelings with this girl than not at all?

I don't see anything wrong with it if you are not in a teacher/student relationship.

I don't think instructors should date their students...

that's wher ethe ethics comes in.

However...if you are both students, why not?

If you can keep arguments offf the training fllor, it could be hugely positive.

I met my wife at college, while we were training in the smae class...we now both run a small school (35 students, but growing) together.

sounds like it's not a bad idea then.Anyways I have to correct Mr.Mike and giang_hu on your spanish.

"You've got cajones right?"

"cajones is no replacement for ethics and foresight"

Ok guys "cajones" the way you said it means the drawer from a desk or something of the sort.Now if you want to say what I think you want to say it's "cojones."

I go to the dojo to train, not look at women, all women in your dojo should be treated as sisters! I say no because if it goes bad one of you will top training. How would you feel if she was attacked because she stopped coming to train (because you broke her heart), and couldnt apply the technique properly and just peeved her assailant off!!

Just train in the dojo find your women elsewhere!!

LOL! Ninja Please!

There is a point things can go sour. But if your both mature enough adults about it. You will be alright! Go ahead and go for it. Be better you went and it didn't work out. Then you always wonder what "if" out of things people regret most people regret what they "should, could,or would" have done. Don't let that be you!

I disagree. It's great to find someone who's hobbies you share. Go for it. It's great having someone you see often outside of class to practice with (and to keep your butt motivated ). But, as has been said numerous times already, be mature about it (huh, huh, huh, I said "butt"!). How old are you, anyway? It would be a lot harder if both of you are thirteen as opposed to thirty, and i think that the former would be a more apropriate guess. Make it very clear that whatever goes on between the two of you in private stays there, and before you persue a relationship, make sure that you know her to be someone who isn't going to have a problem with you on the floor if/when you break up, or classes are going to be a pain for both of you (seriously, it sucks!). Another problem you'll have to take into consideration is how often you are partnered in class. You don't want to drill with one person almost exclusively, and avoiding practicing with her in class wouldn't be a good idea either.
