Tough spot, but I think I would say that I'm between jobs. But that would probablt lead them to ask for what line of work and after a few months you would have to start explaining why you're finding anything or even looking for that matter. So maybe a better option would be to offer up half the truth. Maybe say, I'm unemployed and looking into my next step. I'm a little biased about that in that maybe it's not all that horrible for someone to hear. That's what I heard when I met my husband - then boyfriend. He was unemployed and looking for work which didn't sound too wonderful, but I got over it really quickly since I learned more about his personality. try to remember that if someone doesn't like the situation enough to stop seeing you, then it really isn't worth your time anyways. Go for the best - someone who falls hard for who you are and sees right through all the unemployed details. Just a thought, although I can only imagine how tough it would be to say that and wait and see what he does. I used to always feel super anxiety just over spilling the beans about CF. If they go, then so be it.
