More rules for dating a derby girl

Some more rules for dating a derby girl!

1. Men cannot compete with derby, you will always be sloppy seconds! Derby will always have her first.

2. She will never have “plans” with you. She will only have plans with derby and will only hang out when convenient. Your “plans” will be dropped for anything derby.

3. You are there to work out any frustrations. Derby leagues get into spats sometimes. Lucky for you there is a lot of frustration in roller derby.

4. Do not start talking about trying to take a vacation with her. She will immediately go into panic mode and start to think you are trying to take derby practice away from her. Vacation is only permissable in cities with other roller derbies. In such instances, you must entertain yourself as they skate. Go hide in the corner of the bar with the other derby widows, while the girls party and stay up all night talking derby with the new friends she made.

5. Don’t try to be the “manager”; do not try to get involved with derby business, that is only for the roller girl.

6. Don’t ask her teamates for relationship advice.
