9 Things You Should Know Before Dating a Writer

Writers are a fascinating bunch – they are creative, dramatic, passionate, and crazy. Dating a writer has its own share of benefits and problems, which is why, there are certain things you should know before dating a writer. For starters, they are cool friends, great adventurers, fascinating storytellers, and matured partners. Most of them go through tough times, which makes them stronger, so they can perhaps handle life issues better than you.

Writers Like People With Literary Knowledge

First and foremost rule – know that writers do not date people who do not like reading. And hey, no gender bias. Whether you want to date a male writer or a female writer, you should have read books – good books. You need not be a voracious reader, but you should at least know something concrete about the literary world, the latest bestsellers, and the plots of some award-winning novels.

Don’t Pester Them About Their Work

Don’t ask them at what stage their novel is. Don’t show excessive optimism about their work being a great success; most writers are realists. Don’t even dare to read their work without their permission. Don’t tell them what to edit or delete. They like constructive criticism; be specific and lavish in your praise. They have their fortes too; they cannot write on everything. Encourage them silently, help them face rejection, and be a moral support.

Controlled Finances

Let's Work Together!

Take this as one of the tips you need to know prior to asking a writer out. Most writers do not make great money, but they are excessively passionate about their vocation, they love to write, and they’ll work hard despite the low pay. So, if you are a money-minded individual, do not date a writer, because money is not a motivator for them, work quality is.

Understand Their Behavior

Writers have numerous behavioral traits. They are dramatic, gossipy, and may be pretentious sometimes. They hate loopholes in television scripts, movie plots, and other books. But they accept rejection and criticism, and they value honest feedback. They are highly inquisitive and interrogative – they have an ingrained sense of curiosity about other people’s lives, and they can immediately carve out stories from the same. They do have addictions – drinking, smoking, partying, etc.

Understand their Behavior

Expression of Emotions

Most writers express emotions through writing. If you have done something they like or dislike, it’ll find its way onto paper, with highly sarcastic smiles and anecdotes. They often have conflicting emotions – they can be highly dramatic and sober. They love spending time with their partner, but they need to be alone as well with nothing but thoughts for company. They love books – often, they express emotions through creative activities. And yes, they are fanatic about correct grammar usage.

Understand How They Work

They will write continuously like a tornado, or there may be weeks when they do not write at all. There is no fixed working schedule. And, if they suddenly come across something inspirational, they have to pen it down. Their minds are always working creatively, which is why they always carry books/laptops with them so that they can write down their thoughts. Deadlines are way more important than the plans you may have made together. Work comes first, for writing is their elixir.

Understand How they Work

They Have Incredible Skills

They have outstanding writing skills, that only keep getting better with time. They are open to learning new things in their field, and adapt immediately. They are highly organized and planned individuals – this is one of the perks of dating a writer. They will be willing to make elaborate plans for dates, surprises, events, etc. They are highly observant, opinionated, and thoughtful.

Your Influence in Their Art

This may be one of the dangers of dating a writer. They are great storytellers, and take cues from their lives and the lives of others around them. You are likely to be one of the characters in their books. If you make them happy, you’ll find sweet blog posts about yourself. If you upset them, you will find yourself reflected in their work in the most annoyingly, depressing ways possible. However, they are also loving and adventurous, and they’ll make your life a lot more fun and interesting.
