Finding love through online dating has been a common trend in the last few years, and programmers just might be one of the pickiest users of dating apps. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the 10 drawbacks of dating a programmer.

Programmers are some of the most brilliant people you will ever meet, so it's easy to fall in love with them. However, dating a programmer comes with its fair share of problems.

You can read the first part here. If not please check it out! You will love it so much!

Lets move ahead with the upcoming (6 to 10) interesting drawbacks according to my opinion.

#6. Be ready to sleep with gadgets too

Most of the time, you will see smartphones, Ipads, Macbooks, tablets, laptops, or other stuff ending up in your bed every day. Not once you will wake up in the morning with a bed without gadgets.

Some tech people are strict about not taking things in bed, but you might have to deal with that most of the time if you aren’t so lucky.

#7. No Romance, Toxic Relationship

Sometimes they feel a lack of time for others, which might be ended up your relationships with high dose toxins! So I recommend you avoid such a toxic relationship!

Unless someone is a higher understanding person, it will always be an issue that your partner does not give you enough time. And if you are a spouse of a programmer, you have to know that they may not have a lot of romantic experience and don’t know about standard relationship conventions like communication or intimacy, etc., which obviously leads to hurt feelings.

In this case, just be honest about your desires and expectations, and tell them what you want without expecting them to do it themselves.

#8. Be ready to eat breakfast or dinner alone

You can’t blame them for this. The pressure they go through every day from morning to night. They might end up at the table eating together. But don’t be too upset, if you see they are looking at their phone or computer while eating and totally forgot your existence.

And it’s so common to feel left alone out in that tech threesome. But guess what, You got a programmer partner.

#9. They feel awkward during celebrations and family get togethers!

Most of them are often awkward in groups and around many people. Instead, they would stare at their screen and code or use their phone rather than engage with other people.

If you got an extrovert programmer partner, damn, you are sure lucky got you got the one of a kind piece.

#10. Second Life (They are already married to their work first) -- Note it down

If you are married to a programmer or going to marry one, you have to accept that they are already married to their work, more precisely their computer/work already. Sometimes you might even think that they are cheating on you with their phone.

But the positive side is that you know that their phone will be only the “third person” you have to worry about in the relationship, not any human.
