13 Things You’ll Love And Hate About Dating An Ambitious Person

Being with an ambitious person isn’t easy. I know because my boyfriend is with one, and he sure has a tough time putting up with me. I took an off on a weekday because I needed to take a break and relax, but I ended up getting other more important things on my priority list done. Later that evening, my boyfriend, stunned with my obsession for being productive, said a very wise thing - "You don’t know how to do nothing." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the biggest problem of being with someone who is ambitious. We. Always. Want. To. Do. Something.

Always.?

Wait, there’s more. ?

1. We are scared to commit.?

We are scared to commit does not mean we’re commitment-phobic. We just want to take our time to ensure that we’ll be able to give you enough time, and won’t always keep you hanging. Although, when we are ready to commit, we put you in the ‘important’ segment of our lives - in the same segment where our ambition lies.?

2. We ask a lot of questions.?

Personally, I am a big fan of people who ask a lot of questions because it confirms that they’re interested in the conversation. At the same time, I understand asking too many questions can be a tad irritating. But we are curious beings who want to know everything. We’ll go as far as asking you why you voted for a certain candidate in the Lok Sabha election, and even expect you to justify it. We are no authority, but we like learning new things and opinions and getting an idea about how your brain works.?

3. We are going to inspire you every day.?

Being in a relationship with us will motivate you everyday. Our need for striving for the best will eventually rub off on you. We’ll inspire you every day and expect you to do the same. A relationship, in which two people learn and grow, is what we’re looking for, and if we both can bring our best sides together, this is it.?

4. We’re ambitious, not boring. ?

Don’t mistake us for being boring. Yes, we are constantly up to something and think a lot about our career and work life, but that does not mean we don’t enjoy life. We like parties and drinking as much as you do, but we’d like it if we can talk about something that will enlighten us over drinks rather than just indulging in drunkenness. But that’s allowed, isn’t it??

5. We don’t like taking calls when we are at work.

We’ll take the call and listen to you if there’s something important, and that’ll be the end of the conversation. If the conversation extends, be prepared for one word replies or maybe ‘hmm’?

6. Our ideal date would be sitting side by side and working.?

Tumblr

Yes, you read that right. Come on, there’ll be the laptops, work and us. Plus, we’ll be talking about work-related ideas and probably brainstorming together. According to me, that makes for a fruitful date. According to science, having regular discussions with each other about goals, dreams, passions and the future brings inspiration and positivity in the relationship. It also makes you discover your collective desires.?

7. We are ambitious. We are not high maintenance.?

Tumblr

Most people associate arrogance with ambitious people and I fail to understand why. To clear the air, we are not what the world perceives us to be. It’s true that we like going out and trying new things, but a bean bag and pizza or a long walk on the beach works well with us too.

8. We want to be with someone who can teach us how to relax.?

Like I said, we don’t know how to do nothing and that works against us. We think we have piles to do, our to-do lists never end, our book and sitcom lists never end, our weekends get over quickly, leaving us with the feeling that we could have done so much more. All this is great, but a cause of stress. That’s the reason we are always looking for someone who can talk some sense into us about not running after every darn thing.?

9. We love people who want to know about our dreams and passions.?

We don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing, but our dreams and career goals are the centre of our world. So, when we find someone who wants to know about them, especially in detail, we develop instant fondness for them. That person who encourages us, and believes in our dreams and understands our passion is perfect for us.?

10. We’ll never be with someone who asks us to make a choice between our career and them.?

Never. That’s because we’ll never stop anyone from running after their dreams, so why should they??

11. We are unapologetic about being smart.?

Tumblr

We’re smart and we know it. We don’t care if people find us intimidating or a little too intelligent for them. This is who we are. If you can accept it, great.?

12. We are not used to asking for help and we aren't proud of it.?

We think we can do everything on our own, although we know that’s hardly possible. Still, we keep trying till the end and avoid asking for help as much as we can. If you observe us closely, you’ll realise we won’t say it out loud that we need you when we do. We probably don’t realise it ourselves.?

13. We give our 100% to everything we do.?

From work to relationships, if our heart is with you, you’ve got us. We’ll give it our best shot and won't disappoint at all.?

We might be cold when we’re busy. We might be at work for days. We might zone out for a few days. Yet, if we’ve give you our heart, we’ll do everything to make it work.?
