When a Date Loves Arts and Crafts
The date who loves creating,
displaying, and attending art and crafts events is a passionate,
creative, often independent, and flexible person at times. He or she
will enjoy your company if you too have hobbies that inspire you.
However, if you are one who has little reverence for the arts and
could care less about a date’s passion, you will turn this person
off. You might continue to go out on dates, but the relationship
will suffer challenges and may end up being nothing more than a dead
end for you.
Artsy people, a slang way of describing
people who enjoy creating things, are sensitive, happy, sometimes
depressed, and other times odd folks. They feed off of love, pain,
sickness, emotional turmoil, life, death; you name it to obtain their
muses. What most would just view and walk away from, the creative
person embodies it. These people can be a joy to be around and you
can learn much from them, but they can also be deeply troubled.
When the imaginative type is on an
emotional high, you will either be welcomed into his or her world or
shut out for a time. You will need to be mentally strong to handle
those up and down times with the creative individual. Needy,
insecure people don’t like when they are shut out of anything and
others who aren’t very considerate of those who might be more
talented than they, can be a burden to be around.
It isn’t a requirement to be the
painter, musician, writer, dancer, actor, architect, and other
similar types, but it does help. A date that can be understanding
about his or her partner’s work and can relate to the challenges is
a welcome addition. Those that are in other fields can be a good
match if they too are respectful of the date’s craft. However,
there are many who are not appreciative of creative types and tend to
laugh, joke, or insult them for the work that they do. That type of
negative attitude merely starts arguments and makes the artistic
individual withdraw from the relationship.
When dating the person who loves arts
and crafts, do the following:
- Show your support for the work. Since there are many creations and some you won’t like, your personal interest has nothing to do with being encouraging to the date who enjoys his or her hobby.
- Offer to attend an event with him or her. This can be a turn on for a date, because it shows you care.
- Allow for time and space to create. If the person you are dating wants to be left alone for awhile, do it.
- Don’t expect a creative person to always be interested in you and the relationship. Many artistic people use their hobbies/work as an escape from upsetting things and if under too much pressure, they will lose interest and won’t be as nice and receptive as they once were to you.
- If you find the creative person is too odd for you, don’t fake interest, move on.
