Bottom line with dating someone who is unemployed is this: Can you live with it and be happy? I would not support someone I just met but would temporarily support someone if we had been dating and I knew that she was a keeper.
kizzy27: what if you thought that down the track ( in the future for the nonaussie speaking population } He or she may still not be able to secure work due to lack of skills & you may have to support him /her if you wanted to enter into a long term relationship?
