Whether a best-selling author, a blog writer or even just a newspaper journalist, dating a writer can be frustrating.
From their messy moods to weird sense of style, writers can be a handful.
Here are the top 5 things to expect after saying yes to a writer:
1. Get ready for the arguments;
There is nothing a writer enjoys more than picking your brains out. Finding a way to disagree is a hobby for them. But don't always misunderstand this -- it is not really you but them. As chronic consumers of information, the writer is only trying to be absolutely sure there is nothing else left in you they could feed on.
2. Get ready to sleep alone;
That same time you wrap yourself in the warmth of the sheets to pass into the obliviousness of sleep is the same time a writer's inner demons awaken.
From werewolves, zombies to vampires, writers harbor them all. And once a writer's beast awakens, he/she must feed it!
3. Get ready for the pessimism;
Even when all roads appear to lead to an easy success, the ever judicious writer is able to pin down that one very tiny loophole that ordinary eyes are not able to see!
4. Get used to the constants 'nos':
Nobody says no as easily as a writer. They are not afraid of you or society, so saying yes just to please you is never an option.
5. Get ready to inspire a story;
Of course you can't tell a writer what to do. You can't tell them not to put you in their next story or essay. But don't worry as this is more of an honor than anything else.
In a world filled with normal people, being chosen as a source of inspiration by a writer is a thing of pride.
***
Beside all of these, nonetheless, writers could be one of the best set of people to date.
They are honest, faithful, and are rarely dumb!
And they are loaded with lots of exciting things to keep you eccentrically entertained every moment of your life.

(6). Get ready to be the next story immediately after breakup

The nerdy types always have high sexual urge. My ex girl was a blogger

Writing is, at its best, a lonely enterprise!

hear hear!

That's what happens when you take writing as your life.
When you are not writing, be your normal self and when you hold a pen, let the world know there is an influx of ideas in you and a 'crazy' writer at that.

I will ask you not to date a writer.
They can express themselves in words,
Knows the 'magic' that are intertwined in a sentence, he can manipulate it, making you get swayed at the expense of reality.
A writer writes, thinks more and you don't know when he is real or when he is portraying a character in one of his books.
Anyway,
I'm proud to be one.

Lol... This post is sweet, timely, sweet. I can relate with all of them. The brain of those female writers are crazily beautiful. I've related with many of them and can't help longing to be one myself.
