Yes, and it actually improves my productivity. She edges me on to work when I feel like slacking off, and I can have intelligent conversations about whichever ideas I have as long as I can break them down to a non-techie.

Nope. Life as a computer science major in college and an overall geek leaves very little time.

I mean no disrespect, but as a computer science major at a well recognized school and an overall geek I had several concurrent gf's during university and went out about 4 nights a week on average.

Looking back, I was a fool, but I am glad I lived that way for a few years. It taught me many lessons.

edit: Re-reading I laugh at how I always throw in that 'good school' part. Perhaps it is because years later I still have stress-dreams about exams there, and the courses were like getting kicked in the balls daily.

Had a girlfriend when I started my company. I haven't had any time for socializing since she left. Anyone else in this boat?

you don't consider posting on YC to be a form of socializing?

I was using "socializing" in place of "dating".
