MotherGoose 0 #27 October 23, 2006 "AS THE PROP TURNS" . . . That's so funny, at my DZ its "DAYS OF OUR SKIES" . . . If I may offer my bitter opinion . . . it's hopeless . . . If you deal with someone at your DZ and you break up . . . there's no limit to the amount of drama that can explode. Essentially, one of the parties is forced to leave the DZ for bluer skies to get away from the bullshit. On the other hand, dating non-skydivers is just as fun. First they are attracted to you because you're exciting and you live dangerously . . . blah blah blah . . . then a little bit of time goes by and they realize that you actually DO skydive a lot. This irks them and then eventually they throw the ultimatum at you and you end up telling them to take a hike because skydiving is more important. This may just be my experience but . . . it seems HOPELESS You think you understand the situation, but what you don't understand, is that the situation just changed.

I'm sorry but this is just not true... I was a non-skydiver when i met and started dating a skydiver. He was fine with me not skydiving and i was fine with him spending time at the DZ to get his jump on. There are women out there who are perfectly fine dating a skydiver and not skydiving themselves. However since then, i have gone thru AFF and love getting my jump on... and we are happily married. So, why does it matter if your SO skydives or not...?
