In my opinion this applies mostly to females since they tend to feel like they can get away with having a man who makes more money than the woman does.
Personally, I’m very nice and don’t care as long as I’m able to spend time with you.
I actually hate dating and dates and blah blah blah.
It’s nice when you’re a teenager but we’re adults and this isn’t a fairytale.
I voted for Yes. When I met my ex boyfriend he didn't have a job or money, and we still had fun hanging out with each other.
Plus my parents and I were homeless for 3 years so growing up I learned a lot when it comes to having fun without having money.
Yes and no but mainly no because well if your not in a job yet then it's too risky.
Well, yeah, if you have no job at all... But then again, some people can still form a relationship before going into their careers. But that mostly applies to college kids and rich young people who still live with their parents.
@Jamie05rhs Something most people aren't while you could in high school we all know how high school romantics end up. He goes across the world so does she it becomes long distance etc etc they try to make it work it doesn't work because of life and on and on we all know this it's why I avoided a relationship in high school college and university because they're pointless.
Some people go on to the same college, though.
@Jamie05rhs Yes very true lol you remind me of me. I had these thoughts in my life I had a girl I asked out she said no but ironically we ended up in the same college yet lovers don't.
I would have gone to the same college with a very famous person, and I may have even ended up having a chance to be with her. We would have been in the same class in the same program of study. But I never showed up on the first day of school. Because I never applied. So I never met her.
@Jamie05rhs Did you ever tell her that? And you liked her may actually change her mind.
Oh, no; I could never tell her that. She's married already. Some things will just remain a secret forever, and that's just the way it is.
@Jamie05rhs Well the problem is if you two are meant to be then even marriage won't stop that. You get married couples and the girl and guy miraculously meet after years of not seeing each other no matter what you do you two will always meet "coincidentally" you two will always see each other and will always think about each other for days. But that's if it's the case. It's the red thread of fate and unfortunately I can't stop it or stop her from magically appearing out of nowhere.
Nah, dude. I disagree 100%. Marriage is final and permanent. You don't fuck with somebody's marriage.
@Jamie05rhs Fate does trust me i've seen from afar you know who's really meant to be together. Love is unavoidable she will show up even if you don't want them too.
That's a really dangerous worldview you have there.
@Jamie05rhs It is but love is a dangerous thing it's killed people before.
Exactly my point.
@Jamie05rhs But at the same time what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Yes, and criminal drug dealers also become stronger when they don't get arrested.
@Jamie05rhs They do that's how drug lords are born.
You can try. College kids are broke af and they can make it work.
the ones that make it work have their daddies pay for them
If they are legitimately broke, they’ve got more problems to worry about than dating. That’s the kind of problem that needs to take priority.
It's a set up for a negative relationship that doesn't bring much to the table gor you or your partner.
You dont need money to love someone; however, you should try to get yourself together during the relationship or even before
Depends on your age. Men especially have this headwind against them more so the older they are the more they’re expected to earn and spend.
No, if you don't have enough to fund yourself, how will you fund your relationship? Relationships are pretty expensive, if you're actually serious about one, you shouldn't try to date if you're broke.
Otherwise you'd be looking for a fling
Why the fuck not. I wasn't forced to treat my girlfriend. She even gets kinda mad at me when I do. I just love to give her things she wants. And you don't need a fat wallet to do that if you both love eachother.
Well, I can't answer for the girls, but my ideal kind of date would be a secluded walk in nature, or some physical activity to break the tension. That need not cost much at all, if anything. And make it into a picnic.
You don't have to spend money to enjoy someone's time and company.
I think, money shouldn't stop us for dating. I think someone Could do cool and or romantic plans without waisting to much or even not spending at all.
I wouldn't. Being broke is conducive to no confidence and terrible results with most quality women. Plenty of broke deadbeats that don't give a shit can do just fine though.
You're right about the confidence factor. I'm a very genuine person, so I'm not going to front and act like I'm an extremely eligible bachelor when I'm not.
Yes, go to a park and enjoy the sunshine. If you have a little money, bring some burgers or hot dogs and have a cookout. Bring something for the ducks and you will be a big hit.
I am a student so witbout my parents i am broke. Should I expect anything else from a guy my age?
23 sis get a job
I will get a job when I finish college. Who are you to tell me what I should do?
Someone who wants you to be secure. Although I'm a stranger
I am more secure ifI don't work in college, because it is already hard enough to finish it.
Emily, please ignore the haters. You're doing fine.
Yes, but they must get creative with how they entertain their date.
If you are really young and don't have much money anyway then it is fine. For older people they should get their life in order before ever thinking about dating.
women can but men can’t...
that goes strictly for dates where you don’t know the person...
