Being in a relationship can distract you from any number of your own personal goals. It's one of those balancing acts of life.
If your #1 priority is learning languages, my best advice is to find a girlfriend/boyfriend that is a native speaker of that language and does not speak any other languages in common with you! This is sometimes challenging, but it can be done. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If I had a harem of girls who spoke my target languages I wouldn't have time to study.

Yes, that definitely sounds like every male language learner's worst nightmare :-) Edited by Solfrid Cristin on 04 April 2011 at 10:58am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Given the huge number of your target languages, it would have to be a harem on a truly epic scale, Iversen. In fact, it would be the kind of thing enjoyed by Old Testament kings! (But remember: if you needed to hire someone as a keeper-of-the-women, you wouldn't have to look any further than me! ;-D) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you are a polyglot and you are without a woman , languages are not the point at issue.
