Love in The Recession
Dear Bitter Single Guy: I met a guy that I am crazy about that I have been seeing for a month. The day I wanted to talk to him about making things official, he lost his job.I guess I made the mistake about talking about us anyway, and he said that he cannot give me what I want because he got out of a 4 year relationship 6 months ago so is still heartbroken and now has no job. He likes me but wants to be friends for now.
Do I want to be friends with him? Help! ~Jumped Too Early~
Dear JTE: The Bitter Single Guy definitely believes that timing is everything and can understand why unemployment would make your Jobless Gent a little wary of taking the relationship plunge with you. That said, the BSG is a little surprised that Jobless Gent threw his unemployment status at you while coming up with reasons why he couldn’t get involved. The BSG thinks that’s a little lame and that maybe the former relationship is keeping Jobless Gent wary?
Actually, the BSG has found that when people (employed AND unemployed) want to be in relationships, they find ways to make it work. If Jobless Gent felt what you’re feeling, the BSG suspects he’d jump at the chance to formalize your little relationship. The BSG thinks you should hang back…continue spending time and give JG time to settle into the recession along with the rest of us (the BSG also has spent some time jobless recently). If he doesn’t lighten up, the BSG recommends keeping one eye open for your next candidate. ~BSG~
