Trying to date a firefighter

And it's hard because she always gets pulled in for duty. I wanted to go out tomorrow night but it doesn't look like it's gonna happen. And this is keeping me very nervous and scared, which is especially a problem because I have an exam tomorrow. -CSM

You probably wouldn't be a fan of the Army Reservist/Firefighter hybrid.

^You're an idiot, you know that?

Anyway, CSM, you'll be fine. If she's brave enough to be a firefighter, she'll have enough confidence for the both of you.

I think, she said, hoping she wasn't just talking out her ass, that the best thing for you to do is try to avoid pre-planning stuff very heavily and instead do a whole lot of ad-libbing spending time together, so to speak. If she keeps getting pulled away, she's probably just as frustrated as you by the lack of time together, and if you rely too heavily on plans it becomes too easy to get the whole thing munged up by a sudden departure.

Try and find lots of shorter things to do that are easier to just suddenly go do.
