I have a crush on a girl that I met who has no college degree and smokes cigarettes. These are two deal breakers. Any advice on making an exception from people who have done the same?

You can't just have fun with her for the short term? High standards are great for a wife prospect, but if you're in your 20s and there's a solid 9 that's vibin you, are you crazy? Go have fun. I'm not saying you should lead her on, but doesn't mean you have to ONLY date wife material. YOLO

Lol my bad man, didn't mean to trigger you. My point was, don't take life so seriously. People can date without the prospect of marriage being on the table...you know, because it can be fun. (In a non-objectifying way)

I don't think OP is being an asshole. Those are just his/her standards. He's not saying anything bad about the girls persona. OP just wants a non smoking college graduate and if that makes them an asshole well I hope my kids grow up to be assholes too.

Well, depends. No college degree and no plans to get one ? Deal breaker. Chain smoker and not just bumming smokes at a party? Deal breaker. Can't settle.

@ D1. Thanks for the advice. I'll stop talking to her before I get too involved with her.

Smoking is a no-go. No college degree...what's her financial situation? Having a college degree doesn't make everybody smarter than non-college degree'ers. If her head and values are straight, doesn't sound and act like an idiot and knows how to support herself, she would still be a go for me.

If it's a deal breaker now then don't do it. Literally did the same thing. We even lived together. After a point I couldn't put up with it anymore. Made me learn no matter how hot she was there are fundamental things I need to have in a person for a relationship that are more important for it to last

I specifically said, "don't lead her on"...

I guess my question is what qualities you see within her that attract you at the first place? Also, is she looking to quit smoking and/or getting a degree in the near future?

how old are you? if it's a deal breaker (which smoking it's a deal breaker for me) Don't even go there 😁 my two cents...

If the only reason you want to pursue her is because she's hot, you're making a mistake.

Yea dude def don't lead her on - we all know how interesting/desirable/elevated on the food chain accountants are and if she were to realize she couldn't actually keep one she'd prob fall into despair and kill herself 😂😭🙁

She has no plans on getting a degree and smokes a few cigarettes a day. She has a decent job at a small corporation making $20 an hour and is the hottest girl I pursued. It's just hard to decide if I continue to pursue her. I had no knowledge of her smoking until she smoked outside the restaurant we got dinner at.
