Is it ok to try to date when unemployed?

r/

Laid off from my job in February. Applying to jobs every day since. Never been in a relationship and worry with the current job market, I’ll just be accruing further inexperience for months.

I’ve heard opinions from a number of people that trying to date when unemployed (not broke, they are not synonymous) is not advisable and you absolutely should find a well paying job (particularly if you’re a man) before trying to date.

    Yes, everyone deserves love. I would just say only do what you can afford.

    Do whatever you want, just recognize what your priorities are

    Of course it’s okay. Being unemployed isn’t a moral failing.

    Will some people be uninterested? For sure, but some people will also be uninterested in the employed version of you. I wouldn’t sweat it.
