If you were rich and single, would you hide being rich from someone on a first date with you?

If you acted normal, and not cheap, on a first date, and you were wealthy, would you hide that fact from someone you dated the first time?

Yes

No

when my boyfriend and I were together I didn't know he was the rich affluent type or else I wouldn't have dated him. so happens his parents owned many business and so does he. I know some people to be stuck up like some people from my family. and I hate the whole rich people mentality. I know its steriotype but some of my family members are like that and I hate it. I didn't find out untill a month later and I figured it out he didn't say he assumed I knew. I had worked for his parents once but he was away on business at that time. strange how things work out.

i think his parents even tried to test me to see if I wanted him or what he had on two occasions thus the reason for not wanting to date this type of people.

If only because it shouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't bring up money on a first date, period. Getting to know someone shouldn't involve either party discussing their finances, at least not for a while. No one likes a person who boasts about money or who asks about money when just meeting someone. Not classy! So, no, no talking about money until you're serious.

Yes. I don't want some guy trying to mooch off of me or "like" me because I have money.

[Adun99]

Definitely.

I'm not rich by any means, but I'm a bit well off, and I've found out it's best to hide it on the first few dates.

If you want to stop being single, you want a girl wo likes you for you and not for your money/salary/estate, and trust me, those girls are not that abundant.

And if you just want a 1NS, showing off your wealth will attract a girl intere$ted in long term material benefits, and if your plan is to ditch her well... that's kinda cruel, and it's the kind of karma that'd come back on you.

So long story short: "normal, not cheap" but definitely hiding your wealth on the first few that's (not only the first). Trust me, been there.

VERY true! I once had a girl ask me on the first date "how much are your parents worth?" She asked me this right as I took a drink of coffee. The coffee quickly sprayed out of my mouth. At least I was polite enough to quickly cover my mouth as I sprayed the coffee...

Depends. If I just wanted a quick lay then yes. I get many women checking me out, but not many make the move. When I borrowed my clients Range Rover for a week, I literally had women walk across the parking lot and flirt with me, multiple occasions. It's crazy scary how powerful money can be.

If I want her to be my GF, then definitely wouldn't tell her.

[Brando]

Yes I would. I don't assume that all women are chasing money or anything like that, but it's one of those things that is a big enough issue to have to account for. It definitely has the possibility of changing the relationship, so I'd want to keep that stuff to my self.

The way I see it, a gold digger will always be a gold digger. It doesn't matter if she finds out on the 1st date or the 10th date, she will be in it for the money. If you can't pick up on peoples true feelings/intentions, then yes, you should hide that you are wealthy on the first date.

[curiouschica]

Of course. I would want to see if they really liked me for me or were they just interested in the money side of it. Unfortunately, you can never be too sure these days...

[Anonymous]

I would only want her to like me for me and not my money. I'd likely act to have an average income until I got to know her well enough to see if she really liked me for me.
