As of today, I am unemployed :frown: I know that finding a job is my main priority at this point, but of course that isn't going to take ALL of my free time. I have been employed full time basically since the age of 19 (32 now) so its not like this is a common thing for me either...
I can't imagine putting N/A under my job description on my profile. What are your thoughts? Would you continue dating or hold off until you find something?

Sorry to hear about the job. I've been there before a couple times, it sucks. As for dating, I don't think you being unemployed would hurt much. I can't see any person who knows the situation looking negatively upon it. There's a huge difference between recently laid off, etc and actively looking and those trying to leech off the government or friends/family that show no motivation.0

The only thing I could see as a problem is if you are doing more than a local search. It would suck to get to try to get to know someone only to relocate for a new job.0

i've been funemployed since december and i'm still dating. in addition to looking for something in my field, i'm also doing stuff to be more in control of my situation.
this is the second time i've been unemployed withing th past 3 years. the first time i was off for almost a complete year, so if that happens now i'm definitely not going to put the rest of my life on hold.
i say go for it but you can always tell the person you are out with if the topic comes up. in this economy, i doubt anyone would take it as too much of a negative. plus i think it makes me look like a cheap date. since i'm always on the lookout for free and cheap things to do, when i suggest a date it's usually something that's only going to cost $20 or under :laugh:0 -
It's def not a huge thing but at a passing glance it might not be a great thing but the right person will look straight past that
Just don't let it get you down jules! Just take it in your stride and get on with getting yourself back in there. I hope you find sweet job real soon :drinker:0 -
I wouldn't think it was a problem (particularly for a woman). Given the state of the economy, there are a lot of people in the same situation. Have fun!0

Well, it depends if I have any money to date with, or not! I wouldn't go on a date without any money in my purse. But I know a lot of girls expect the guy to pay. So, I guess its just how you feel about the practical issues?
I dont think the actual status has much relevance to a guy, only if he has to foot the bill for everything :flowerforyou:0 -
:laugh: Now's your opportunity to find that doctor or lawyer!
Just kidding.. but a real man wouldn't care, especially since you've been steadily employed for so long. Good luck on finding a new job (and a sugar daddy)!0 -
go out. if potential dates wouldn't date you because you are unemployed then they aren't worth your time. plus you never know who you may meet. possibility of networking and finding a new job.0

Probably more difficult for men than women.
I don't think it is worth putting your life on hold over unemployment. It is hard to predict duration of unemployment.
Best wishes in both dating and employment.0 -

^^^^^^^ Enjoy your time off, I never stopped to think about that when I met my special someone on here. It just wasn't a factor!0 -

A Doctor fired me, so I will try for the lawyer
Thanks everyone, I guess I will just take things as they come! Now,... let the job search begin 0 -

I think you meant that to her. I did enjoy my time and have been back a new place this week
Btw. Working is extremely overrated lol0 -
Men dont care about that stuff. Alot of women do care and usually wont go on a date with a guy if he is unemployed. Go out and have fun to take your mind off getting fired. I wish you luck in your job search.0
