Are you attracted to a driven and independent partner, someone who likes to take their fate into their own hands? Perhaps dating an entrepreneur is exactly what you’re looking for. Confident and ambitious, entrepreneurs have a definite appeal. So where do you meet an entrepreneur and what should you know about dating in this world? EliteSingles takes you on the inside track and breaks down dating for entrepreneurs. If you’re trying to balance dating in your busy life or looking to meet someone new, let’s start here.

The challenges of dating an entrepreneur

Dating an entrepreneur is an exciting prospect but it does come with its own set of challenges. Being a business owner and managing your own time is liberating, but can be quite demanding, at times making it difficult to find a good work-life balance. Evolution in business models, the rise of the startup culture and support for independent thinking has seen this popular lifestyle constantly expanding. Before diving in, there are both pros and cons of dating an entrepreneur.

One of the enduring traits of working independently is that it can be difficult to switch off. Being responsible for your own business makes it tempting to constantly check your phone and emails. And one of the biggest problems of dating an entrepreneur is finding the right time and place to meet someone new. But in today’s modern world, more and more singles are choosing dating sites. The convenience and connection of online dating mean that it is a popular choice for busy single men and women who want to make the most of their life and love.

The real deal: EliteSingles on dating an entrepreneur

Entrepreneurship is driven by achievement and the desire to learn and grow, to enjoy freedom and flexibility. So what is the real deal when it comes to dating and business? Before you date an entrepreneur you should know some facts up front. If you’re from the corporate world and dating a businessman or a working professional, perhaps in more creative industries, or dating a startup CEO, EliteSingles covers the basics to help you meet your match.

Top tips: dating an entrepreneur

Starting a new relationship requires time and a certain degree of effort. When you’re getting to know someone for the first time, there’s a lot to learn and work out in this exciting stage. Here are our top tips to get things started:

Be flexible: An entrepreneur doesn’t have a 9-5 job, and this may require some flexibility for both parties to fit into each other’s schedules. Understanding and flexibility will go a long way to kick-start your connection.

Prioritize: To get the relationship off the ground, you both need to set the time aside. This may mean other commitments and activities need to take a back burner for now. It’s time to prioritize your personal life!

Put fun on the agenda: Life is busy and between your responsibilities and opportunities, it can be a challenge to fit some good old-fashioned fun in. Make the most of the flirtation and euphoria of new love, and remember relaxation and laughter is also an important part of well-being.

Reasons to date an entrepreneur

They’re confident: Entrepreneurs believe in themselves and this is a very attractive quality in a partner. They’re often good leaders, strong characters, and stand out of the crowd.

They’re independent: Entrepreneurs define their own rules and are free thinkers. They’re not afraid to chase their dreams and put in the time and effort to achieve their goals. This can be as true in their relationships as in their business.

They’re willing to take risks: As in life and love – nothing ventured, nothing gained. Entrepreneurs are willing to take the right kind of risks in life, and in return can reap great rewards.

Dating for entrepreneurs

Create balance: Success is not only defined by the number of zeros in your bank account. It should also be measured by the happiness in your life, the value of your relationships and quality of life you enjoy. Do the checks and balances and institute the changes needed to create this equilibrium in your life.

Get creative: It’s easy to get stuck in ‘business mode’. But when it comes to dating, it’s the time to get creative. If its memorable first date ideas or meaningful ways to say I love you, enjoy the dating game and play to win.

Be open: Being an entrepreneur, you’re quite clear about what you like and how you want things to play out. But love has its own set of rules, and you’re not the boss anymore! Go in with an open mindset and see where it takes you.
