As my friend, Nina Bartula, put it, “Dating and actor is one of the most exhilarating adventures you will ever embark on. You will be partner to an individual who is a voracious student of the human condition and possesses an unquenchable zest for spontaneity. We are compassionate, brave, intelligent, fun, funny, and damn good listeners. What more could you ask for?”
But it ain’t all unicorns, rainbows, and butterflies. We’re sensitive artists and there are a few things we need you to understand and do for us in order for our relationship to be truly fulfilling.
1. You have to believe in us. First and foremost, you have to believe in us. No one wants to be with someone who doesn’t respect what they do. There will be times when we’ll be doubting ourselves and in those moments, we need you to reaffirm that we’re artistically valuable and doing the right thing by pursuing our dreams.
We want you to be proud of us. We want you to take an interest in our work and our careers. When you’re telling people what we do, we want you to say, “He’s an actor,” not, “He’s a server/office temp, etc.”
We’re one audition away from a booking that could
