Gilbertk Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 So I've started dating this girl.. and most girls in the world (roughly 99.999%) prefer pretty much everything else over Rush. Well I did the unthinkable on our first date and turned control of my iPod over to her while I was driving. What did she put on? John Mayer? Lady Gaga? Taylor Swift? Nay. Fly By Night followed by The Body Electric. Gentlemen, I am in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Enemy Without Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I found a girl who I thought liked Rush, but it turned out she liked Paramore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Congrats!! I don't think I'll ever meet a girl my age who likes Rush. They're practically nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Now... would the college-age guys who like RUSH please stand up? So far I've run into just two guys who like 'em... and one of the custodial staff in my residence hall. (But she's awesome. We had a long conversation about RUSH's awesomeness while she was working and I was (supposed to be) studying. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddybuck01 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i think most of us Rush women are taken. sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Congrats Gilbert! It's great to see couples who share a love of Rush. Has she ever been to a show? If not, how cool that you'll get to go together My boyfriend has come around a lot, but it's taken some effort! He should appreciate what a rare bird he has (and not let me wander off at Rush shows, heehee)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Closest I ever came was when I was getting to know a girl and we start talking about music. She seemed interested when I said I like Rush so I say "oh are you a Rush fan too?" and she says "no but I think it means you know good music" Kinda cool anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You guys are funny. You'd probably marry the first woman you met who knows another Rush song other than Tom Sawyer. Or I can imagine this: Rush Fan: Man, I met the greatest girl last night at a bar. Friend: Awesome. What was her name? Rush Fan: Well, I didn't actually talk to her but she had the coolest Fly By Night t-shirt I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 My gf hates them with a serious passion. They are a total nerd band to her. But the good thing is that I have a huge variety in the music I like. She loves some Metallica, rap, dance, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, stuff like that, but so do I, so it works out. The closest she will come to anything like Rush at all I guess is Mars Volta, who Neil is a fan of, a band that reminds me of old Rush. She likes their song The Widow a LOT. But they have a much more modern prog sound than Rush, so I cant get her to like stuff like 2112. Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Man Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That's awesome. I do have a question though: Why do you have John Mayer, Lady Gaga and Taylor swift on your iPod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stdio Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I am one of the lucky ones, my GF loves Rush and went to both legs of the TM tour with my 18yr old son and I. He is a HUGE fan, no rap or emo in our car ever!! Geddycorn = A rare, beautiful, mythical creature that loves Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I remember seeing a girl a year ago that had a huge love of ke$ha. And I believe she was a juggalo. Mega turn off to me. Stupidity and poor music taste are two things I find impossible to stand. Edited December 16, 2011 by Union 5-3992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I still think about the (love-at-first sight crush) girl I met in college who I instantly was drawn to. A bunch of people were hanging out (not enough to really consider it a party) at my buddy's apartment and this beautiful young lady was singing along to Zeppelin's 'Down By The Seaside'. As you know, not many people know that tune. We talked for awhile and certainly music got brought up. Her favorite Rush song was 'Lakeside Park'. Unfortunately for me I had a girlfriend at the time so I never got any contact information to try to see her again. To this day, I always wonder what could have happened... (FYI - I saw her about five years later on a subway in Manhattan leaving an Allman Brothers show at the Beacon. We were both from Virginia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobodysHeroine Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 We are indeed quite rare, we Rush-loving women, but we exist. You just have to look in the right places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I was at a former friends wedding and another friend who attended was dating a girl. The girl (as well as my friend) loved RUSH. I was in love at first sight! She was beautiful and she knew everything RUSH. It was so weird to talk to a girl who knows RUSH. I lost track of that friend so I don't know if he ended up marrying that girl but if he didn't, I wish I would run into her! When your talking Caress of Steel with a girl you know she's not a casual fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
