Is it a red flag if a man asks how much money you earn on a first meet? (Page 2)

[EmmaMary]

Just one word...Definitely.

[KittyKat90210]

BIG red flag. I wouldn't ask that until I was fairly close with a person.

[Fireguy17]

ya, that is a bit too soon.
I don't think I have ever asked what someone makes.
You can tell how they are doing.

[sarahstar13]

Ya, I got asked if I would like some more money so I would run 😬

[rosemilk]

totally out of bounds. no one should be asking you that, especially on a first date.

[Drumlin2001]

Did you ask him the same? If he hasn't texted in a few days he's probably lost interest

[Asker]

I didn't ask about his salary too caught off guard him asking mine. I never ask anyone their salaries probably should've asked back. It's gone a week last Saturday, he hasn't text anything. He told me his plans for the week and asked mine he was going away back to where he's from for a few days until yesterday. He has been on the app. We got on ok very different other men. I may reach out asking how was it to test the waters and as we to go to the same gym (never met there) in case we bump into each other avoid awkward encounter. Maybe he was busy whilst away.
I don't know if I like him or not but we spoke a lot on the fence or I don't earn enough for him lol. I never texted after as when he went for a handshake even though he hugged back took it as a bad sign I wasn't in a hurry to text and since he was going away decided give it space.

If the roles were reversed you were the guy & him the woman? Wouldn't that be seen as a gold digger? Just saying.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, but that is not the only question that should never be asked, ever.

[Yannae]

I would find that inappropriate and wouldn't give out a number or estimate.

[Sharkstealth]

That's a strange question to ask but I don't date anyways. I've never asked a female that nor asked her age.

[bolverk]

As big a "Red Flag" as a woman asking asks how much money a man earn on a first meet!

[Guanfei]

Why would it be? Women do it even before accepting a date.

[LiamJHayden]

Asking that straight off, whether male or female, is a huge red flag. I'd walk out on the date.

[SolitarySolace]

It’s just as bad as a woman asking a man the same thing.

[TheSpider]

Dunno. If a man asked you if you were a slut on the first date, what would you say?

[dudeinohio]

Not really. Just seeing if you are financially secure and not a gold digger.

[Subflics]

It's not a red flag, the red flag is dodging the question. He's just getting to know you

[OtterMan68]

I'd say so unless the women brings up the topic first.

[KittygosMeoWW]

It’s uncomfortable for sure, whether it’s a woman or man asking.

[Raaj4you]

No, nothing wrong in asking serious questions.
