@starrysky: Not working at the moment doesn't mean there is nothing you can contribute of. Relationships aren't a financial project as societies want us to make them, they are a personal growth place. Maybe this is irrelevant, but I didn't get married before I traveled abroad to get my PhD because I was thinking that I must be ready and financially independent when I get married, but looking back I think I made a mistake. At my mid 30s, and after a couple of years after finishing my PhD, I'm still not ready and financially insecure because I don't have a stable job (currently not working). Probably I will have to wait another 2-3 years to be financially secure. This means that I have to wait until I'm close to 40 to get into a relationship if ever!! We could've grown and progressed personally and financially together if the chemistry and connection was there. I wouldn't want someone to value me through my job or how much money I make. What if I lost the job suddenly for whatever reason? Would that mean I have no value any more?!! I would say go for it and explore your opportunities. Good luck
