8 Things You Need To Know About Dating A Doctor Who Fan

8. Acceptance

As with most things, the first step to maintaining a long happy relationship with a Doctor Who fanatic is always acceptance. When you encounter a Doctor Who fan you'll soon realise that it's far more than just an obsession. They live, dream and breathe it and in many cases their admiration for a certain Time Lord is often even life defining. Sorry to break it to you, but there's absolutely nothing you can do about this. You can't change a person and this also rings true for Doctor Who fans. Their passion for the world's longest running sci-fi series is permanently instilled within them and they're not only completely dedicated to the cause but they're also unequivocally loyal, too. If you want to guarantee a happily ever after with a Whovian, then, you just need to accept them for who they really are. Nobody said it would be easy but the pay off will make it more than worth the wait. It might not feel like it at the start but eventually a Doctor Who fan will learn to love you just as much as their beloved Time Lord and that's the sort of unequivocal love you just can't afford to throw away these days. Oh, it's probably worth pointing out that you'll still always only be second best to the show so it's better if you come to terms with that straightaway too, just to avoid any further heartache down the line. You'll thank us later.
