hannah01 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Take a Hike · Grab your partner for an adventure outdoors while the weather is nice by going for a long hike. The exercise will invigorate you and the two of you can enjoy the peacefulness nature has to offer. Take quiet moments to reflect at points of beautiful lookouts and enjoy the scenery as you connect on a deeper level. Pack a Picnic · Pack a lunch to go and save on dining out expenses. Take a drive out to the country or the seaside and stretch out on a blanket to relieve some stress and relax. Packing your own picnic meal will encourage you to be creative and eat healthier than you would if you went to a restaurant. Movie Night In · Rent a movie at your local movie store or from your cable provider for an in-home theater experience. Light some scented candles to set a romantic atmosphere and enjoy some fresh popcorn for an enjoyable cost friendly evening for the two of you. Cruise a Local Art Gallery · Check your local city or town newspaper or website for art gallery tours and events. Many art galleries offer complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvre evenings to help promote a new up and coming artist. Take a tour of local pottery and painting studios for a unique experience you are both sure to remember. Campout · Set up a tent in your backyard for a fun night under the stars without the true camping sacrifices (go inside to make s'mores in your microwave). Tell each other fun stories from your childhood and learn, in the serene setting of the outside air, things you may not have otherwise talked about. In the morning, wake up early and check out the sunrise.

oaks Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Hi Hannah, Thanks for cutting and pasting stuff directly from ehow.com. Very helpful. Oaks.
irc333 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Or, if you don't have a job maybe you should be out looking for one. Just a thought. OR, when there's always those breaks in between when you're NOT looking. Just a thought.
Ginger Beer Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Or, if you don't have a job maybe you should be out looking for one. Just a thought. Shut up mate. Someone new joins the forum and that's how you reply? I enjoy posting on here from time to time but there are some insensitive posters on here.
Jono85 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 No man should be datng if he has no job pretty stupid statement there.
PhillyDude Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 As a female I also think no woman should date if they don't have a job. It goes for women and men equally. If u don't have a job you should focus only on getting a job and nothiing else. Otherwise you are wasting time. Saturday nights would be better spent reading classifieds and monster.com. This goes for guys and girls alike. THANK YOU. Now if you are a jobless 19 or 20 year old then thart's different. But if you are 30 and taking care of yourself and receive unemployment then DATING has to take a back seat
oaks Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Or get a job and get a date on I think this is a great thread. We should get all the spammers to come here and tell us about their dating sites. I'm expecting something Asian-related next... haven't had that one spammed here for several hours now.

I'm expecting something Asian-related next... haven't had that one spammed here for several hours now. I will stay in this thread in hopes of finding myself a Russian bride.

This goes for guys and girls alike. i'm sorry but searching for jobs can not possibly take up all of your free time. that also seems pretty silly. maybe i'm biased, i'm 25 and receiving unemployment currently while trying to find a job, but i'm not just going to turn down a sweet girl who doesn't care whether i'm currently employed or not (as long as i'm trying, have an education etc) and whom might turn out to be someone very special, just b/c i'm unemployed. i have a degree, and don't forsee this unemployment rut lasting too long. but really have u ever been unemployed before? and did you honestly just spend 100% of your free time looking for jobs and never socialized with friends ever?? that's fairly proposterous..

Of course you can hang out with friends as a guy but when going out with a woman you are expected to pay and when receiving unemployment that's just not possible
youngskywalker Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 No man should be datng if he has no job Second that.

Let me tell you something right here and right now. I'm sorry if I come across as a jack@ss but you just hit my pet peeve. Yes, if you are unemployed you should be using all of your free time to find a job or start a business or make a patent or dream up some idea to save the world. If you have a degree then your obviously at least an average intelligent person. Have some self respect and get off unemployment in any way you possibly can. If you can't and you tried your best then fine. Personally, I've lost a job once and the present job I'm at I might loose soon. IME when I don't have a job I can't freaking look at myself in the mirror. I feel like the biggest POS loser in the world and it motivates me that come hell or high water I will support myself and be better then the 10% on unemployment. I could never go on a date... never if I didn't have a job. What would I tell her? Ummm I don't have a job? Great pick-up line. Sorry, that's my rant for the day. Cheers to all.
Saxis Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Ooooh, I got one! A Roll In The Hay - Don't use protection (you can't afford it anyway, right?), get knocked up. Then you can get on all kinds of state and federal benefits, all payed for by people who DO have jobs!
irc333 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Funny thing...there was this early 50's woman, actually had "occupation: UNemployed" in her profile From her pics, she looked pretty well off though. Suprised she didn't mask it with "self-employed" like most of the unemployed do....suprised she was upfront about it. Let me tell you something right here and right now.

Cheers to all. to each's own brother. i have a date lined up this saturday with a very sweet beautiful girl, who just finished up school and is also currently looking for a job. she seems very into me, we met online albeit, and many phone convos later we've set up our first date, although it really doesn't feel like it since we seem pretty into eachother already (maybe not a good idea, first time in this situation for me, but we'll see...). point is, i'm not ashamed to not have a job, and neither should she be. it happens. i was laid off, along with many ppl at my company, unfairly (don't get me started on office politics...) but it is what it is. some girls can see past temporary unemployment, not saying most. and if you were unemployed and spent every waking moment in search of a job, you're a liar! lol. sorry.

The point is it takes MONEY to date and being on unemployment makes it harder. Unemployment is really only for RENT, BILLS, and FOOD.
Jono85 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 The point is it takes MONEY to date and being on unemployment makes it harder. Unemployment is really only for RENT, BILLS, and FOOD. it's true. but for instance our date this weekend is gonna be a picnic at a park, then a movie afterward, or whatever i guess we decide on. shouldn't be much money. but i know what you mean. and i won't be doing anything crazy with this girl until I get a job, and she will have to accept that. but it seems like she's not a material girl in the slightest, so i think she's fairly understanding of it. now if a month goes by and i'm still unemployed and not able to do things with her that would necessitate more money, than yes that's a bit of an issue. btw some ppl have money saved up too right. alls i'm saying is, if you meet a girl you feel is pretty quality and have a good feeling, i say take that opportunity if you have the means and don't mind a cheap date or two (and she doesn't mind obviously).
youngskywalker Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 point is, i'm not ashamed to not have a job, and neither should she be. it happens. i was laid off, along with many ppl at my company, unfairly (don't get me started on office politics...) but it is what it is. some girls can see past temporary unemployment, not saying most. and if you were unemployed and spent every waking moment in search of a job, you're a liar! lol. sorry. You're right about one thing... it's nothing to be ashamed of. I truly wish you the best of luck with this girl and finding a job. I also hope you put your free time towards something that will bear fruit in the future. Do you have any entrepreneur ideas? Go for it. I'm simply saying people get stuck in a rut of collecting a check. Don't bet on this unemployment problem to go away anytime soon. You will, IMO, have to make it happen for yourself.
