For those of us that are single... Does a single girl out there EXIST that could understand even a few of these items? Particularly the one about weekends? I've scoured my campus and I have yet to find one. If(oneExists) { letMeKnow(); } else { sigh++; }
Or... "why you should never date someone who writes blog posts named 'why you should never be a startup girlfriend'"

use of English == intellectual status.
Fine. use of native language == intellectual status. And if you disagree with me there, I'd like to know why.

Ah. Don't make me break out the Tennyson. "'tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Sorry, I had to!
Only people who haven't really lost someone say this kinda stuff. The pain of loss eclipses all the good parts of having loved by a large margin, in my experience.

Yeah, you need to iterate to refine the process.
If every iteration hurts then is iterating a lot really a good plan? In each iteration one believes this is the final iteration that will last forever. If not, you're doing it wrong. How is that compatible with planning to iterate?

Losing someone (like most other things) gets easier the more times you do it...
Again, spoken like someone who hasn't lost someone. You may become progressively less likely to let any given person become that important to you over time, but losing someone truly important really doesn't get easier.
There's something about lists like this that bother me. I know it shouldn't -- it's meant to be light and humorous. I think what bothers me is that the person she describes is really, godawful boring. The line that stands out for me: "If you want to understand your boyfriend, understand computers. It’s not that difficult." I...I just don't know. I'm an engineer at an early-stage startup and computers are a big part o…
I suppose the thing is that the title "Ways to Deal with a Relationship Between an Archtypical Nerd Working at a Startup and Moderately Nerdy Girlfriend Who Isn't" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
There are lots of other walks of life that require startup-level commitment. People working in those "get it". I think it's harder for someone who has a "normal job" and is trying to cope with being resolved to be a "startup girlfriend" (rather than say, a film director or writer or whatever).

...and maybe worry a little bit that I actually am like that So? No where in the article do I see her complaining about anything. I am an "engineer" at a startup as well, and I have never treated a girlfriend poorly. She wouldn't skip work to spend time with you and you can't either. The difference is you work far longer and less set hours than she does. When you're building or running a business you have to be reali…
