As far as popular belief exists, dating a journalist is not easy. They are not minting money as much as their counter parts and in many cases are even workaholics.<\/p>\n
Yes, it may not be easy peasy but who isn\u2019t up for a challenge. It\u2019s certainly not as dull as it is projected and dating a journalist can be quite an experience. \u00a0Go ahead, read with an open mind and decide for yourself.\u00a0Here\u2019s hoping to change some mind sets.<\/p>\n
1. They know the coolest places in town<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
According to pop culture and stereotypical representation, journalists are considered to be dull, anti-social and full of themselves. However, reality paints a different picture. They get to attend the most happening parties in town, movie premiers, dine at finest\u00a0restaurants. Who wouldn\u2019t want to be their partner?<\/p>\n
2. They are creative<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Of course, we are. We journos can spin creative, knowledgeable and engaging stories and this definitely extends beyond the realms of the newsroom. So all you ladies and lads, get ready to shed some happy tears, for you are going to be loaded with the most mushy, corny and breathtakingly beautiful love letters. Need more reasons?<\/p>\n
3. Endless conversations with them<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Journalists are a perfect blend of being nerdy and smart. Keeping track of what is going around in the world comes to naturally to them. Conversing with them can be engaging, intellectually stirring and endless, since they can discuss anything under the sun.<\/p>\n
4. Money is secondary for them<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Passion for their work is what drives them and not the moolah. If it were about minting money, then they wouldn\u2019t be in this profession in the first place. They may not be earning as much as their counter parts but they do get to enjoy the freebies from time to time.<\/p>\n
5. They are trustworthy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Trust is the number one trait journalists swear by. Right from keeping important information off the record, to gaining the trust of their source. Be rest assured, if you do date a journalist, your trust won\u2019t be broken and your secrets will always be safe.<\/p>\n
6. Multitasking is their forte<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Innumerable sources, never ending deadlines and \u00a0working in high pressure environment. Even with the constant insanity looming over their heads, journalists are experts at multitasking. They can perfectly balance their work and their relationships. They do not shy away from showering their partner with love and care even after a hard day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
7. They will give you your space<\/strong><\/p>\n
Journalists have no time to mop over trivial matters. They won\u2019t bombard you \u00a0with a million questions nor demand to know how you\u2019ve spent every minute of your day. They are beat working day and night and will give you your space and in return, also expect the same.<\/p>\n
8. They are hard working<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Being a journalist is not easy. It is a life laden with hard work and unconditional perseverance. Right from dealing with PR\u2019s to running after sources for their stories, they know exactly what it takes to get it right and to make it work; and expect the same behaviour when it comes to their personal lives as well. They will give it their all to make their relationships work.<\/p>\n
9. Passionate communicators and great listeners<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Journalists always have interesting stories to narrate. Having said that, they are also great listeners, they will genuinely show interest in you. They have a knack for reading between the lines and even catch the subtle hints in your t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate.<\/p>\n
10. They are helpful<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Journalists will go out of their way to help those in need. It doesn\u2019t matter even if they are mere acquaintances. With their contacts and friends in the industry, they will leave no stone unturned in their endeavour. It\u2019s safe to say, journalists have big hearts.<\/p>\n
11. The joy of free tickets<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
Want to attend your favourite game, concert or an art event? Your wish is their command, a few phone calls and voil\u00e0! You have your free tickets.<\/p>\n
