ericplayzbass Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Don't get me wrong, many of you have valid, if not eerily relevant points, just that I can see myself being anything from a bartender to a doctor and be happy with that, or be poor or rich as long as i'm happy. It's just I TRY to picture myself with someone who doesn't like rush for the rest of my life, and it can't be done. Perhaps I'm just really strange, but what is normal anyway?

thing2jordan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I seem to meet standards, but considering I'm 14 you would have to wait a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkdryan Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Aug 16 2010, 04:46 PM) Dude...You're nineteen. You should be dating all kinds of different women. Learn what you like and what you dislike. You're still trying to find yourself. You are going to go through a lot of changes as you become the person that you want to be, and odds are that your idea of the perfect woman is going to change too. Don't worry about finding the perfect woman. When it happens you will know. I didn't meet Miss Right until I was 30. Be patient and date, date, date. Then when Miss Right does happen along, you will recognize that fact because you will have lots of experience to draw from. And picking your spouse should never be bases on musical taste alone. Try looking for someone who is considerate first. Good point. at 21 I thought I was with the one, at 31, I now realize I might have been wrong Have fun, and find the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushchick10 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 QUOTE (tick @ Aug 16 2010, 07:56 AM) Not liking Rush is a deal breaker? You might want to rethink that one. Well, I have to say that if my husband didn't like Rush when we met, then we probably wouldn't have gotten very far in our relationship. I mean, I spend a LOT of money traveling to Rush concerts and, if he didn't like Rush, then it would be impossible for me to do that. He doesn't always go with me, but I have his blessing (of course, as long as the bills are paid, etc...). Being attached to a person who doesn't appreciate or support something that you love and care about makes for a pretty miserable life. My husband and I wouldn't have gotten much past "hello" if he hadn't liked Rush. Shallow? Perhaps, but that's just me. Rush is one of the few things in life that I truly LOVE and can completely enjoy all the time! They mean the world to me. Besides, this kid is WAY TO STINKING YOUNG to be thinking about marriage! Get out and live life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music (not just Rush) is SOO important to me that, if I am not able to share that with someone, we don't have much of a relationship. I'm that way with EVERYONE in my life...family, friends, significant other. I have to be able to connect with them somehow. I am horrible at "casual conversation," so there has to be a connection there...something we can share. I have friends who I only see when we are bicycling (because THAT is all we share). My friends at work...I like them all, but I don't see them outside of work, because "work" is all we have in common. Although, I have gotten a few of my bicycling friends into Rush, so that's a bonus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilda Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 no your not crazy, but the very best girl will understand your rush love and would want u to enjoy as much as possible. my man knows rush is my thing and i have rush buddies to travel with. It must go both ways, when dave says " i am going across country on motorbike" i say, have a good one and be careful. find a girl who celebrates everything u want to do, be it with or without you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeefan2112 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 My boyfriend does not like Rush or any other "old" bands. While it pains me greatly, it is not a deal breaker. He's the most wonderful man I've ever met. He puts up with my plethora of health issues, and even went with me to see Rush. I'd be a fool to break up with him over a little thing like not liking Rush. You're only 17, but I wouldn't place such weight on a silly little thing like liking a band. In the long run, it doesn't really matter. Sure, I'd love to be able to talk Rush with my boyfriend and share that kind of connection, but we share connection in many other ways. Rush is my thing, and considering I'm fairly young, it would be an endeavor to find someone as young as I am who likes Rush and meshes well with me in other ways. You just can't have everything.

Kublakhan94 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'm younger than you but I do have to say, don't try to get girls based on musical taste, trust me 90 percent of the time that backfires.

I distinctly remember falling in love with the "keyboard" part of TSOR because it sounded so kick ass. I told my then boyfriend about it who was a Rush fan and quickly corrected me saying that the awesome "keyboard" part was actually the guitarist... and then my love for Alex was born.

Kugel Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 My brother who is 3 years older did indeed induct me. But I quickly became a much bigger fan than he. By the time I was 14 or 15 my fandom had surpassed his by a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
