Losing your job and becoming unemployed wasn’t a circumstance you were expecting.

It happened suddenly.

You have no issue with working for a living.

As a matter of fact, you love to work.

Working is a part of your identity.

It doesn’t feel right to be unemployed, let alone to date while unemployed.

That being said, you are ready to date and find a relationship, even though you are unemployed.

It hasn’t been long since you were let go of at your previous job.

Finding yourself unemployed took place while you were in the midst of dating.

This has triggered a conundrum.

The question of whether you should stop dating while unemployed until you find a new job.

In your opinion, it isn’t a good look to be actively going out on dates with guys and be unemployed.

Inevitably, the topic of employment is imminent in any discussion you have with a relationship prospect.

Confronting this question in your current state of unemployment does make you weary.

The element of shame hangs over you, even though you aren’t a lazy person.

It isn’t a good feeling when you are no longer contributing to society in what you do for a living.

Nonetheless, you are ready to date.

What should you do?

Stop dating while unemployed even though you are ready to date?

You don’t need to stop dating while unemployed, as long as you are actively looking to find a new job and you have enough money saved to pay your bills and go out on dates.

The key is to give your date a good idea that you are actively looking for a new job.

This requires that you let him know that you are going out on job interviews and actively sending out your resume to places of work.

Giving him a good idea of who you are interviewing with and where you have sent your resumes to, lets him know that you are putting in the effort to find a new job, as opposed to sitting around watching streaming shows all day.

You leave an even better impression on him when you pay for something on your dates.

In other words, instead of letting him pay for the whole date, chip in to pay for dessert, appetizers, or to leave a cash tip.

In doing this, you give him the impression that you aren’t financially strapped.

This is reassuring to him.

It keeps him from worrying that you are using him for free meals.

Many guys worry about being used for free meals, and a girl who is unemployed can set off those warning signs.

However, as long as you give him the specific steps that you are taking to get employed, and pay for some items on your dates with him, he is much less inclined to believe you are using him for free meals.

This encourages him to keep asking you out on dates with him.

Once you get hired at a new job, you will have good news to share on a future date with him.
