Andy, am I to understand that you'll never have another relationship... or that you're going to give up skydiving? No relationship is perfect, and any conflict you may have with a mate over skydiving is more likely going to be the result of insecurities or lack of trust than whether or not she is a whuffo.

No. Either I was frustrated because I was spending time with her and not jumping, or I was feeling guilty that I was off jumping when she wanted me home. I want to spend my time WITH the person I love, not away from them. For me, right now, that means a skydiver.
Simple things that couples do - go shopping togeather, go out dancing, spend the day putting up wallpaper. I always wanted to do these things during the week, she wanted to do it on weekend. She was really great about it - she'd go out shopping while I jumped. She didn't give me shit for it either. I still felt guilty though... I dated her for almost two years, and didn't jump NEARLY enough during this time frame.
I did decide that I'm not going to date whuffos. I've met so many awsome skydivers since I lost my "anchor", I don't think this is going to be a problem. Even if I don't meet my own sky-chicky right now, I'm perfectly happy wasting my weekends at the DZ doing the thing I love. If I could do it with the person I love too, that'd be gravy.

Lisa,
This is going to sound REALLY WEIRD. I have really vivid dreams every night. I hadn't even gotten in to this thread before but I had a dream about it last night. I go to Panera Bread for breakfast every morning so that's where it took place. You were in line for breakfast and the man you speak of walked over to chat with you. It seemed to go well.
There's really nothing else to the dream than that but I thought I should tell you, even though it's really weird I dreamt that.
Much love and blue skies,

maybe even do a tandem!

Lisa you could renew your tandem rating and take him with you. It would be a good opportunity to check out his bod and stuff as you strap him to yourself............SEBAZZ.......

Another thing that you can do is try to find an activity that the other person is interested in an try to understand it. I tried that once.... It did'nt work so well, but then again... I did'nt try to hard either since I was out jumping insted

I did. She rode horses. It sucked.

#1 - "E" Does he eat sushi? #2 - "F" drag him out to your car and do him on the hood. If that works, then, #3 - "S" take him to the DZ.....
*smooch*
Honest, it wasn't me.....

Didn't. I was a bit later leaving the house this morning, and he wasn't there.

And how'd you feel? Feel that familiar pang of been there, done that?
