Dating a musician

I am VERY interested in one of my guy friends that is in a band..almost to a point where it hurts..it's like a longing..but i most likely will not be his "girlfriend" because i know what girls are like when they are on the road..and I cannot deal w/ my bf being 4 states away not know what is going on...even if i do trust him..it's just too much to handel...they are a pretty big band...and travel all over the midwest (particularly to college towns) and i also would not want to be "KICKED OUT" of the crew or feel UNCOMFORTABLE if I was to ever break up w/ this man. I luv groovatron too much to chance it...i will just keep things at a friendship level w/ him because i'm too scared for it to be more...

 

HAHA I FUCKING HATE WORKING MERCH>>>since the normal merch girl is NEVER at the shows and the other gf of the bassist is usually chatting...i get stuck there alot...it was fun at first..but man..i'd rather be enjoying the show....lol i usually try to stay away from the merch table now and days!!! hehehe that's so funny that u say that...

 

I am with a musician and i feel it is actuallly a really good thing. I myself have a talent in music, but he expresses his musical love and talent 90%more than i do. It gives us something to talk about, something to do besides sit there and cuddle, talk, or be silent. I feel it has actually brought us closer in a way. He can put me to sleep singing to me....or playing his guitar.
I know he loves me more than anything, and i know he loves his music too....i don't know which he loves more or if he loves what he does and me the same, and frankly i don't care, because it makes me happy.and i know it makes him happy too.

 

my girlfriend gets pissed off a lot at me due to my constant jammin on my own and gigs and we practice as a band quite a bit throughout the week too, as any band would. I think our relationship is going to end soon though because of it, but to me music is more important, and ive told her that but i guess she cant accept that. oh well

 

I would like to take this time to congratulate myself on finally dating a guy who ISN'T a musician! Wow, it's weird!

 

i haven't been in a relationship in a good while, but...

personally, i feel that it would be in my best interest to date a musician, or someone who is involved in the arts in some form or fashion. i would feel uncomfortable with someone who doesn't like talking about music, or finds it annoying that all i talk about is music. and of course there's always time for the love. just because we both hold music in a high regard doesn't mean that we would have to put that above love. it's all a delicate balance i guess...

 

Hey I've been with my boyfriend for just under 2 years and things are fine with us. It took me a little while to get used to giving him space to practice and go out to play of a night, but now it's fine; I support him a hundred percent with his dream, and he's supportive of my writing aspirations, too. My only real advice is that as long as you trust them, they treat you well, and you're able to give them the space they need, you'll be fine.

Good luck and hope it works out.
