Startup vs Girlfriend
spoiledtechie: I am in the exact same situation man.  I am also 25 with a halftime start up and a GF to boot.I chose both GF and the startup.  I just made them equal priorities.You must ask you self is the startup thing something you would be cool with over love, friendships and anything else?One of my MAIN goals in life is to start a company and my GF knows this extremely well.  I spend more time coding and working on my startup then I spend time with her.  You have to let her know that one of your main goals is your start up. And you must be clear about this.But on the other side, You are 25 years old and so am I. lol.  Man how time flies.  You have to start thinking what you want in life?  Do you want to go through the next 25 years thinking that you missed out on something?  I sure don't.  I decided to make a commitment.  My GF is 'a' top priority in my life and my start up is also 'a' top priority.  Both know about each other and its just all about making time for both.I dedicated at LEAST an hour or so a day to love and talk with my girl.  My startup can be stretched to another 6 months if thats what it takes.  6 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but would you rather keep your girl and stretch your startup out another 6 months or lose your girl and finish 6 months early...  It doesn't take much to think about this.  Thats why I chose both.  My startup can be stretched a little bit for the girl I love.If you have partners, make sure they know that too.  My startup and my girl share both rank #1 on my priority list.  Just make time for both brother.
