WELL... my girlfriend is in your situation. Here is out stats:
ME:
-27
-College graduate
-Great Job
-Good money
-Living Well
HER:
-22
-Still in college
-Making $11/hour
-Has trouble making payments
My girlfriend has asked me for money quite a few times, because she has been short on rent. This does not always happen, but sometimes her job gives her very low hours... and even when she asks for more, they don't give it to her. For that reason, I had to give her some money to pay her rent these last 2 months and a few other times as well.
It's extremely tough to be in a relationship like this, because she is slowing me down, I feel. However, I cannot blame her, and she always pays me back when she gets the money.
Even though she isn't where I am at yet financially or job wise, I know when she finishes college, she will be there and she will more than likely make more than me (she is getting her masters in occupational therapy).
So... with all that being said, I am not going to dump her simply because of money trouble, because I know that in a few years from now we will be laughing about this.
Hello dear,
First of all it is rude to break up with someone by text. At least have the good manners and be a gentleman to say it face to face.
Second, as long as I really love the girl I would be next to her no matter what the situation is.
If we are aiming for a long term relationship than it is my job to help her finish her studies and get a decent job so we could take care of each other and live under the same roof.
The way he left makes me come to a one conclusion which means that guy is a "gold digger".
My answer is Yes I would. If I love her and she really loves me, we will find a way to make it work.
Making it through hard times like these strenghten up a relationship.
Don't worry dear, you will find someone who will make it through difficult situations no matter what 😊
I don't think it had anything to do with you being unemployed. it sounded more like he was bragging on her and that may have simply been what ultimately made him choose her, especially depending on his age. he may be looking to finally settle down, that factors in greatly as well.
I wouldn't mind dating a broke college student. Jeez, I'm in med school and I know things can get really hard. But I'd understand why someone wouldn't date one. Maybe they have different plans, different priorities, etc. It's just weird how straightforward he was about it.
At least he's being honest and he accept he is the bad person in this situation
So u dont end up in a circle of drama, lies, secondguessing, and getting hurt over and over again

Casually, yes. Seriously, no. I'll be honest. I am established in life. I have finances and assets that I have worked hard for. I would love to share my life with someone who has similar goals, social standing and financial progress. Dating someone broke and cannot financially contribute to a relationship doesn't sound like a very smart thing for any guy to do. No problem if you are going through a rough patch which is only temporary and you have potential and drive to turn things around. But, I simply will not fund and support someone's life while they freeload. Love doesn't pay the bills.
Personally I don't think that I had anything to do with you being broke or a college student I think that was more of a situation where he was talking to several people at one time and just decided that he liked one of them or their goals matched up and they were just they clicked better and he decided to focus on her more and push their relationship I would say be respectful of that he didn't ghost you didn't just dip out on you he me he respectfully told you hey this is what I'm doing and I feel like that was mature I do think that he could have done it not over texted them in person but some guys are just too awkward and too immature to do that but at least he did tell you and he made a choice on who he was going to be with you saved you a lot of time and I think you should just take it as it is and hang in there
Yes. Why not? I mean why the hell will someone break up if he/she is broke? WTF? If u really love someone then money shud never come in between.
Its really strange though, ur situation is kinda opposite. Guys dont do that. Gals do that. Gals r always breakin up if guys r jobless or has a shitty job. Gals always want a prince charming who can buy their effection by buying her exp designer clothes, shoes etc etc.
I think its a good thing he broke up wid u.
Do u really want a guy like him in ur life? No. Right? Keep smiling n have a good day 😊
Depends on what she is studying, why she is broke, etc.
Is she a lazy bum, just studying some useless crap such as gender studies while expecting others to pay for her living standard? Hell no. Not gonna deal with that.
Is she just busy with her studies, studying like medicine or something difficult or is jobbing, but just minimum wage - completely fine.
It depends solely on context and attitude.
Sounds like its less about you being a broke college student and more he's into this other girl. Unless you're incredibly lucky everyone in college is broke as shit. So unless you're being a hypocrite and shooting down college guys cause theyre broke it just wasn't meant to be.
It doesn't matter if someone is broke or not. I have a good Job that has a pension and is solid. But it won't stop me from liking the person just because of money. That can always change for the better attitude and attractiveness/ brains different matter all together
Are you sure it's because you're broke or just cause because I don't think he ditched you just cause of money but just cause ya know he wanted that girl a bit more
men are visual as long as you are sexy, and healthy and have decent looks and share same hobbies and perspective..
no men will turn you down..
cannot assure you about paying of your debts..
but yeah.. would definitely pay for things on date with you..
I don't really see money in this situation. Maybe he just appreciates her for her job more than you. Not a bad thing, some people are attracted to different people with different jobs, I would be much more likely to date a teacher than say a firefighter. Not that they make vastly different salaries, but because I am just more attracted to someone that wants to be a teach rather than a firefighter for whatever reason
First thing I'm going to say is that kudos to him for telling you straight. There are a lot of guys who don't have the dick to be honest with a girl they don't want to pursue, so please try to appreciate him telling you before things went further.
It sounds like he wants to date a girl who has a more certain future in front of her. That sure makes it easier for him to think about his future with her.
No thats no and obstacle. buut if she only wana look for a Guy that have $$$ and she only wana sleep eat and stay home? Honestly thats bot good for sure i will broke whit her, because i will be working hard to get what she want and when the time pass and the work got me like all the time what will happen? money is not everything. (I know is not the topic but i like to share)
I'm a broke college guy. Doesn't mean we can't cuddle and watch a movie before a class starts, or go to a school function and spend hours talking to each other and not get bored. I'd love to have a girlfriend at my college, whether she's broke or not.
Yes. I have and still would. As long as our dates are reasonable and she's not sponging off me. Not saying you are. But something simple as grabbing some Whataburger or Burger King and staying home watching a movie would be just as perfect as going to a fancy restaurant
In general, sure, I would date a broke college student. She is broke now, but she clearly has some sort of ambition. I would not date someone who was broke and didn't look like they had any long-term plan to support themselves.
Dang. Well, that’s just the way things work out sometimes.
You’ll find someone whose goals and priorities match yours so no worries :)
I've been rich and had many suitors nut I've also been flat out broke, lost my house, and job and my partner never budged from my side... If someone can do that for me then I could do it for someone else too :)
Personally, I would date a broke college student. Being unemployed shouldn't be a reason for someone to not want to be with the other person. Your are a collage student which shows that your trying to better your life and in my opinion thats better than a job. If you look at the bright side, its better that he told you that he was moving on with someone else in stead of leading you on and wasting your time.
Hell ya I would. Maybe he genuinely found someone he feels more comparable with, good for him. But it doesn't mean your not a fly ass woman who someone else wouldn't love. Which sounds cliche but I swear it's TRUE.
I would... but 25 years old is kinda too young for me. Kinda.
His parting remarks show that he is an insensitive ass. You are better off without him.
Of course I would date a broke college student. Broke college students like you graduate pretty quickly.
