Dating Someone Who Gets Paid from Unemployment Checks but Works Too?

[stolemyheart87]

Have you ever dated someone who had a part time job, or seasonal job, and was also getting unemployment checks, and those checks was the only way you two could go out on dates and have fun? Would you date someone in this situation or would it be a no for you right off the bat? Thoughts.

My girlfriend is a pharmacist making 6 figures a year. I just dissolved my partnership with my old company to start a new one and have zero income, I'm solely working on getting this new company up and running with two other business partners. She pays for everything for us, even going to the movies or going out at night to meet with friends(NYC isn't cheap either). Why does money have to dictate whether you're with someone or not? It could just be a temporary situation they're in, I don't see why I would write them off just because of that. I've dated some heavily broke chicks who are students, maybe its just my age group - I'm 25, girlfriend is 28.

I wouldn't give a shit really.

Money should not be an object I would help that person become a better person and enable them to find a career they'd love.

OP yet another thread where you ask others what they would do about something hypothetical but really its about some guy thats trying to date you that this "hypothetical" situation applies to.

its always about you. and it gets boring

Well no one wants to accept me for me, and my situations, and are always coming down my throat about them. But yet these other people who replied, are accepted just fine? I don't find that fair.

Mate if these situations are about you. You are insecure about your life. You won't be able to have a successful relation if you are insecure. No one wants to accept you for you. What makes you even think that? How long have you been unemployed for?

its more that instead of creating a thread about your dating woes (and yes i agree the dating scene is lame and offputting) there will be 10 threads about the same posters experience.

OP your issue is you want to be noticed soo intensely. maybe find something to do in real life that attracts an abnormal amount of attention. we all have desires and from what i can tell yours is to be noticed/paid attention to (to an excessive degree)

 

[stolemyheart87]

I don't want attention, I want help with my dating problems and the people I date. And I am NOT collecting unemployment. The guy I am dating is.

i don't think you need a lot of money to have fun and spend time together.

if he is unemployed is he also doing nothing with his life and okay with that?

if he is okay with that are you?

is making a lot of money a priority both of you hold?

do you earn more than him?

i prefer if you were straight up as well and just said this is your situation rather than framing it as a hypothetical.

yeah it is about you (because its about your latest date though you tried to frame it differently) and that is you wanting us to pay YOU attention. YOU do want attention or YOU wouldn't be posting a new thread every couple of days about whichever aspect of your current dates you want to complain about.

ages back it got boring because it was always a new thread about YOU, YOUR dates, everyone pay attention to YOUR problems constantly. YOU are incredibly self absorbed and want everyone to listen to YOUR problems. to an excessive degree.
