14 Things You Should Know Before Dating A Copywriter
You have just known that your new partner has turned out to be a copywriter. When you asked a question, “What are you doing for living?”, you received a pretty clear and serious answer in style of some double agent or a spy, ”I’m writer, copywriter”. Almost clear answer. Alright, actually not clear at all. Don’t you dare to ask this person whether it is an occupation or just a simple hobby. And does such profession actually exist anyway? Even don’t think about asking to clarify whether this is true that copywriters are failed writers or just those who copy real writers’ texts. Furthermore, this is not a full list of questions you should avoid. Besides, you have to keep in mind that…
There are things you should know before starting relationship with a prefessional copywriter. Here are they
1. Copywriters are rewriters, writers, bloggers and journalists in the same time. It means that in one week after your first meeting your partner will know what your last ex's name is, who infected whom with herpes and why you have not married each other. Of course, you can keep calm all this information can be used against you in the … no, not a court, but in relationship. Even if you have no idea how exactly.
2. Such partner has own opinion about literally everything: Ethiopian war, Emma Watson’s makeup in her last movie and capacity of Harley Davidson’s engine. You may think this is not a problem, but believe, sometimes you would prefer not to know anyone’s opinion, but in this case, unfortunately, you have no the way out.
3. The fact that this person has own blog or series of articles about cooking does not mean that he or she can cook lasagna with the eyes closed despite of knowing its recipe by heart. You’ll be really lucky if this copywriter at least can cook something.
4. Don’t interrupt when a copywriter keeps silence. If he or she is inspired then you mean not more than one year in comparison with all time of mankind existence, the same as all the rest things around. So don’t be surprised when the tea is being poured out of the full cup or an orange is being swallowed right with peel. But if you notice the lack of inspiration, then, moreover, you don’t exist at all and life is an empty sound.
5. Such person desperately states that appearances don’t matter, but for a business meeting with a customer she or he gets dressed as like for a Paris Fashion Week.
6. Never ever even think about writing a greeting card or a letter to a copywriter! Of course, in case where you don’t want to be pointed in every single grammatical mistake you’ve made and where you don’t want to feel the most awkward moment in your life.
7. If you don’t admire some short description or an introduction written by your partner actively enough and you don’t express your appreciation in enough sincere way, then be ready to be called senseless and stupid. And if you overact, be ready to “become” a liar and stupid. So as you see, the result is still the same.
8. If you ever find your partner on the meeting of anonymous alcoholics or a swing-party, do not hurry to blame her or him unless you make up the explanation how you have got there, because your sweetheart have rather been there in order to find out more useful information for next article.
9. You definitely will have to read all your sweetheart’s articles, feedbacks, posts and even comments in order to prove you true appreciation to existing relationship and you really care what your partner thinks about fashionable haircuts in this season or crash-test results of new Mazda.
10. Your partner has accounts in Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and other social networks, which may not even have been created yet. Be ready to be laughed at and called asocial when he or she finds out that you don’t have at least one of listed accounts above.
11. Lost smartphone or broken laptop can lead to a serious depression and often accompanied with deep hangover.
12. Any event from your partner’s life will be told you in the smallest details and with plenty of metaphors including brief philosophical approaches. And don’t you dare to ask to speed up the story, otherwise, you will blamed with absence of any interest of one’s feelings.
13. While dating a copywriter be ready to write a list of buys on your own, because copywriters used to be paid for everything they write. Although, you may choose paying.
14. Any experience of your mutual life will definitely be touched somehow in press, articles or posts, even if names are different in written stories. So keep in mind that in case of negative experience or some kind of offense an author will accidentally forget to replace real names with fake ones.
So those who are hesitating to start dating a copywriter actually have a proved right not to be sure if they are ready. It’s like hesitating to marry a much older partner with kids while being a student. It’s a real contest to marry a person who sees philosophy even in wind blowing. Anyway, if you are want to become a real thinker and philosopher, then you definitely should start dating a copywriter!
