help with musician dating?
Hey, I'm a music graduate andI have a preference for other musicians. This has become prominent now that I work as a music teacher because both my work and leisure time is filled with music. Has anyone here experienced the same preference?
It's not that non-musicians don't make great boyfriends or that musicians are without fault it's more that in my non-musician encounters I have found myself to be on very foreign ground not really moving to a deeper level.
What if some people don't need that similarity in their relationship because they have friends to share it with and others do need it in there relationship because they don't share it with their friends. I think I'm the latter, I have non-musical friends so it can feel pretty isolating and frustrating not to talk about music whenever I wish. Then I think of the other person. Imagining a hard working engineer/doctor/chef/lawyer/bar tender/? being bored to tears with how into my music I can be.
I've always been told I was too picky but I strongly believe in happiness with another muso, even if it's in a differing areas
What about other career paths, do any of you feel you'd prefer someone in your field?
So my overall question is. How does a creative type who spends hours practicing, studying, writing, listening and teaching hope to meet someone similar? No quick fixes, just wanted peoples opinion/experience on the matter since tastebuds is the first site I've found to focus on music lovers and hopefully the odd musician.
Thanks guys.
