When engineers go out to a formal function, they realise that they need to dress up to conform to social expectations. Although this is a great start, their execution very often misses the mark entirely.\u00a0 Ladies, be warned, you will have to guide them in this regard. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES let them dress themselves.<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Seeing as though I have dated not one, but two engineers, and I am constantly surrounded by (male) engineers, I seem to have become the authority on this topic. My site stats agree that this content \u2013 strange as it may be \u2013 attracts substantial traffic. So here it is: why not to date an engineer part two.<\/p>\n

As much as I hate to generalise, and agree that there are surely many engineers out there who don\u2019t fit the mold, I have picked up certain patterns that should be considered before getting yourself involved with an engineer guy.
\nYOU WILL NOT GET MORE OF HIS TIME \u2013 SO GET OVER IT<\/p>\n

Whether your engineer boyfriend is a student, a graduate or senior-level engineer, our workload tends to border on ridiculous.\u00a0 He will spend more time with his classmates and colleagues than with you.\u00a0 One of the engineers I worked with and I spent so much time together at work that I knew his wife\u2019s weekly schedule and reminded him a couple of times that he needed to be home early that day to babysit as his wife had book club.\u00a0 Another graduate engineer at work recently got married and brought his young wife out to the little mining town we lived in. She found it really difficult to adjust to a new home and was always frustrated that her new husband consistently was at the plant late into the night.<\/p>\n

Despite all of the above, the engineers I have dated\/ worked with have been great boyfriends. They are sincere and caring and if you can put up with the hours and bad dress sense, I\u2019d say go for it!\u00a0 Like most men, they will not understand you, will try and solve all your problems when all you want to do is vent a bit,d just about any other mechanical\/ electronic purchases and they will be there for you when you are in trouble.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
