writes: Hey everyone, My girlfriend and I have been dating for only a few weeks now, but we have been friends for 3 years. Well anyways, I like her a lot but often feel she doesn't have the time for me. She is in all honors courses and is always doing homework. I feel bad asking her to hangout or even just calling her! she's always so stressed and I wish I could help. It's our senior year and everyone is slacking a little (but her) and I wish she would have time to hang or just relax. I'm very worried about her, is there anything I could do to help? Should I recommend dropping a few classes? please help. Reply to this Question Share |

She has her priorities in order and you're not at the top of this list, but only for a short time. Bear with her and be understanding and don't suggest she drop classes. She's on a roll, be proud and offer help. Who knows, she may appreciate the offer!

Next time you get the chance to talk to her maybe tell her that you understand she wants to do well in her exams but that you also want to spend more time with her and ask if there's anything you can do to help her. Studying together might relax her a little and it will give you the chance to spend more time together.
Good Luck
Hope all goes well, let us know how you're getting on.

She's just TOO overloaded. I couldn't even begin to help her with all the work...she has probably 8 or so hours of Homework every night. and thats in highschool! She's not very phone savvy, so she doesnt like texting. Or computers. so the only times we talk are at school, when we get the chance to hangout (i feel bad for taking up her time) and weekends I either work or she has too much homework. I just dunno what to do, i love elizabeth to death....

The thing is she wants to pass her exams thats obvious if she is studying, If you want to spend time with her but she wants to study then why don't you help her study she'll relax a bit more with people helping her and she'll be happy that you are showing an interest with what she is doing you may find it boring but if it makes her happy its something im sure you'll want to do.
Good Luck
