For good friends, you've got to put the effort in and block out the time, otherwise you'll always make excuses and say "I'm busy". With women, (I'm 22) I don't really care at this point. If a confident girl comes along that fully understands the sacrifices and lower attention she'll get to make a business successful, then great. The demands of a startup have to be somewhat similar to a baby. It needs you just about 24/7, can't do anything on its own, and needs the full support and unselfish attention of both parents. If a girl is going to be constantly upset because the "baby" is getting more attention than her, she'll figure out really fast that she's got two choices - leave or help out. Obviously that's tough when you're trying to get to know someone, so for now I enjoy the lack of obligations to make a good relationship happen.
