Re: having a life?
Yep, get 'em involved... this works for the mentors too... it's what Eric did with me, and now I spend more time doing robotics stuff than he does...
And if FIRST isn't right for the person you are dating you'll have to find balance between the two, something you can both be happy with. It's easy to say if she really likes/loves you she'll be glad you found something that you enjoy to the point of deliriousness, but emotions are funny things and it's easy to get hurt/jealous when your boyfriend/girlfriend spends more time with a mess of motors and metal than with you. Like it's already been said, find a way to let her know you're thinking about her, build season, that crazy time demanding aspect of FIRST only lasts 6 weeks, a relationship that's strong should easily be able to weather that, if not, maybe it just wasn't meant to be.
