Like someone who's always busy?

There's a guy I really like at uni, the thing is he's in his 3rd yr, and he's always covered in books, it's quite hard to talk to him coz I don't want to disturb him while he's studying... what shall I do? Another thing is that I don't even know if he likes me or not! :frown:

, somehow I believe even if we get together, it'd be still hard to see each other, coz he's bloooody busy!!! Wanna move on, but I just can't!

Yeah thats the worst part of being a third year student the work is so difficult and you have to do so much more reading, maybe suggest going out for a drink on a night that he is free, maybe even get his number.

Well true i know a feel people who are easily managing a relationship in their final years at uni as well as doing coursework, obviously it's not for everyone but surely if he really wants you then he would surely drop a hint. Then again at the same time you don't really know until you ask.

pick the right times to chat to him. breakfast, lunch, and dinner are best times to have a conversation because he has to eat and not study during thoes hours!

Third year is making life hell for me...

I think it can work, but it requires patience, commitment and understanding from both sides that sometimes the relationship may need to take a backseat where work is concerned.

if a relationship has been tested under these conditions then it has a greater chance to last longer. i find people who contact each other so often is because of lack of trust... they want to spy on each other, or they only have sexual desires and it's not love.

If you want to have a relationship with someone who is really busy, you have to be easygoing and flexible about spending time with them, and avoid at all costs making it seem like a chore to see you. I'm going out with someone who's really busy, and part of the reason why it works is because I'm busy too, so we see each other a couple of times a week and don't pester each other too much. Obviously you should pay attention to your own needs as well. If you're with someone and you don't feel they're spending enough time with you, it's important to let them know how you feel. But if you're a high-maintenance girlfriend who's just plain hard work, a busy guy just won't be able to keep up a relationship with you. My boyfriend's a rower who has to train twice a day on top of doing his degree, but he wants to be with me and I want to be with him, so we're just doing our best. I quite like the fact that we don't see each other all the time - it means we can both keep our independence, and the relationship won't burn itself out too quickly.
