Things to Know when Dating a Lawyer



With valentines day coming up, people are either out celebrating with their loved one or (possibly) crying into their wine glass whilst watching Bridget Jones. But if you're thinking of, or are dating a lawyer, here are some things you should know...


1. We're Independent

Lawyers are extremely ambitious individuals. We know what we want and we're prepared to do it all on our own.  We don't need anyone to look after us and we're not prepared to let anyone distract us from our goals. 


2. We Can Argue......Extremely Well

We didn't go to law school for all of those years for nothing. Lawyers are trained to put forward a strong argument when faced with an opposing opinion. Not only that, but a lawyer will never argue unless they have the evidence and authority to back them up. So basically, if you're going to argue with one, you will lose. (Sorry!)


On the other hand, if you're ever faced with a problematic situation yourself, we will always be there to help. Don't worry, we have your back.


3. We Work Hard

There's no need to worry about 'keeping' us, we work long hours on difficult cases every day. Sometimes you may not even see us for a while. A negative perhaps? I think not, you'll need the space from us when we're too stressed over all of our deadlines.


4. Attention To Detail

One of the key skills required to be a lawyer is attention to detail. So we'll notice all the little things about you, more importantly, we'll appreciate all the small things you do for us as well as the major things.


5. Non-materialistic

We can afford our own designer gear, so if you think those new designer shoes are going to win her over? Oh no no no, she's already got them in three colours sitting in her wardrobe at home.


6. We Like A Drink

It's commonly thought that lawyers are boring, unapproachable and too focused on their careers. But we all have to let go every once in a while! Lawyers are by far one of the best groups of people to go out with. We don't get out much so when we do, we go for it!


7. We're Intelligent

According to most people (I'm basing this on my friends' opinions, please don't judge), dating an intelligent person is 'sexy'.  Well, we all made it through 4 years of law school so I think enough has been said!


8. We Can't Do Maths

Unless you are specifically dealing with a lawyer who works with numbers, we just cannot understand maths. So, having someone to help with numbers from time to time would be a massive help to us. Blow our minds with a crazy equation and we're yours.
