Dating Tips for Workaholics
Posted on 26. Feb, 2007 in Dating Tips
If I had to determine and speak about a workaholic, I would say that:
1) You should firstly determine if you are a workaholic
Some people work hard to compensate an inner-need which is identified as a problem. When someone becomes a workaholic he communicates less with his friends in favor of work or simply falls into a pattern of working long hours. If you work for a demanding boss and the same demanding clients, and hardly find enough time to satisfy them during the working day, striving to get through by remaining extra-time in the office, you are a workaholic. If a handsome guy has just broken your heart and you find it help forget by working extra-time, and then get used to stay late at work, you surely have the syndrome of a workaholic.
2) It depends on your way of setting priorities
When you hear someone telling you he is too busy to call, he is really telling you he doesn’t have a priority to call you. This gets intensity at the same pace as our life becomes busier. If you have a meeting proposal, but consider it less valuable for your achievements, then saying you have to work is a suitable excuse to put off a potential date; and maybe you don’t even need to work the extra hours. Thus, to arrange all things according to your priority, you use work as a standby excuse.
3) Make use of the experience your married coworkers have
I think everybody noticed that many times married people have a better deal when it comes to business emergencies. When a project requires staying late at work, your married coworkers would have real honest obligations to do, e.g. to pick up their children from the kindergarten or to meet their parents, etc. Obviously, you would be the person to watch them leave and find your time to stay late and finish the whole project. Keeping doing so, it will very soon become an usual thing and you will not be anymore try to get out from the office earlier that your mariied coworkers. To regain your possition and to start exploring your personal time, you shall find the courage to say you are not available without giving any explonation.
4) Begin schedule your life outside of work
If your friends are working late, you don’t need to follow them, you need to get out. Start spending some time practicing your hobby, or hang out with non-work colleagues. That would help broaden one’s horizons and help give priority to things other than work. It might be even nice to meet someone funny and start dating him.
