I'm writing a love story about a newly divorced woman and the Czech born professional hockey player she falls into a relationship with (this isn't a long distance affair. They live in the same area), but I'm having a hard time nailing down the conflict. I don't want it to be run-of-the-mill, like her ex-husband wanting her back (that's been done). I don't want the standard commitment-phobe story line either. I, actually, want the athlete to be more serious about the relationship than her, but maybe he's not good at making her know that. Any ideas?

Baggage. Every newly divorced person has some sort of baggage carried in fdrom the last dead relationship. The worse it was, the better. More possibilities that way.

sincerely, You are lost.
when You write , something,is to make a point. to say something very important, a matter of die or live,
You write to expose real problems of real human being. and cover up as if is only fiction drama.

Why not make the conflict about the hockey player not being an American Citizen and his government is calling him to go back to Czech to join the army for training because a war with a bordering country is about to erupt. . (Kind of like a draft) Then you can make it where he tries to fight to stay in America?

A good story line for your story would be that she's liking some one else along with this hockey player. Another good story line would be to have him have a record that she knows about and she's afraid to get serious with the hockey player because of it.

How about...he began having flashbacks about something terrible that happened in his past and it's driving him crazy, he can't sleep at night, his game is being effected, and he's snappy and ill tempered. They break up because he can't handle the pressure to have a normal relationship. But she won't give up and they work together to find out the source of what the flashbacks mean. The fall in love deeper because of what they find out. :)

Have the athlete be actually from a different planet and they can fight about whether to live there or on Earth, whether to bring up the kids as earthlings or aliens, etc.

what if his job (or her job) took them away
and the other person didn't want to give uup their career to follow?
what if one has a shady past (she used to be a prostitute) that he might not be able to accept.
or if his czech family does not accept her.
or she finds out he killed people like was a war criminal or child soldier.
