Smh. Men always want women to be feminine until they start acting like some girls.
Don't you eat everyday? Yall can't grab breakfast, lunch or dinner at some point in the week...outside of the house? Doesn't have to be anything elaborate, just a quick meal.
Perhaps you can make some flashcards and ask her to help you study. Integrate her into some of your studying (if she doesn't mind). If she's into parties, couples dates, brunches, etc, dedicate a weekday/end a month and get it all in, at least it's expected and you can plan around it. You could add in a compromise of building in a block of study time, say if you go away for a weekend.
Don't let education or work completely get in the way of nurturing any of your relationships. It's understandable not putting in as much time, but falling back altogether, isn't good, imo. The sooner you maintain a balance between upgrading yourself and managing relationships, the more enthusiastic you remain about becoming a better individual.
LOL you're not going to be any further away from your goal because you went to brunch with your lady one day.
