It isn’t shallow not to date somebody who doesn’t have ambition or a good job.

It is important to you to date somebody that has these qualities or qualifications in their life.

This is what you desire and are most attracted to. There is nothing shallow about it. If anything, you should know what you want and go for it.

If you didn’t, you would be dishonest.

It would be a lot worse if you were to date somebody who lacked ambition or a good job simply because you didn’t want to come off as shallow.

You would not be following what your heart truly wants.

This would be both unfair to you and your date.

You can’t act like everything is fine when it isn’t.

You can’t start dating people that don’t meet what you are looking for in a partner simply because you feel like it is the right thing to do so as not to appear shallow.

That kind of relationship will suffer.

At some point, you will detest the person because of their lack of ambition.

You will only be able to carry on with the act for so long.

As a human being who has particular needs, you will break at some point.

It is inevitable and only natural.

At this point, the situation is a lot worse. You have been leading them on.

This makes it that more difficult for them to accept what you have just done.

They will question your desire to leave them and argue.

You, on the other hand, will have to deal with the repercussions of what you have done.

You would also have to deal with the fact that you have now wasted a decent amount of your time and theirs involved in a relationship that wasn’t authentic.

You should stick to what you want and be fine with it.

Additionally, in having ambition and a good job, you have already met this person halfway.

You aren’t asking for something that you are not capable of giving back.

Hence, you shouldn’t feel that having this desire not to date somebody who doesn’t have ambition or a good job is too much of a requirement.

You have to do what would work for you.

Look back at your past relationships as your guide.

Have you had relationships with people who lacked ambition and a good job?

If so, how did those relationships work out?

If they didn’t work out well, you have a lesson learned.

Perhaps you had tried to give these individuals a chance in the past.

Perhaps you had told yourself that once you were together with them, they would change and begin to have ambition.

Well, you dated them and nothing changed.

Based on the kind of experiences that you have had with them in the past, you now realize that it wouldn’t be prudent to keep dating people like this.

You are learning from experience and using that as your guide.

Learn from your past so that you don’t keep making the same mistakes.
