Fuck no. People with money issues can go down a wrong path when it comes to mental and financial stability. It could lead to drug use, issues with the relationship, stress, etc. You don’t wanna be the person covering both of y’alls expenses.
If he's not doing anything to solve his financial problems he's just going to bring more problems to the relationship. You want to stay clear of little boys who think their problems are just going to magically go away.
Girl, I see that you gave him money. Do you want to date this LOSER or be his MOMMY? He's going to take, take, take until you have nothing left to give then he's gonna say bye bye and move on to the next SUCKER!!!
Amen to that!
@johnny_hustle thsnk you.
You should never date people who can't handle money, they will drag you with them. But being in dept is common if you own something expensive like a house. So don't stop dating men with depts.
What if he asked for a loan?
Don't give it. If he can't handle money you will just lose that money and he will not learn just keep wasting his and others money. And when he can't drain you for more he will dump you to try find someone else willing to support his bad lifestyles.
I didn’t give him a loan but i did give him $300
Its fine for now
Debt doesn't mean you can’t spend money and do stuff
If its too high and he’s young. Just default and its wiped away after 7 years. Meh no biggie
If you guys are like 28+ then maybe no
He’s 30+
And you are? Like 18?
22 years old
isn't he a bit old for you lol
But anywho. Its not a huge deal. He’s in debt. Whatever lol
How does that effect you?
Like practically everyone is in debt
When you buy a house
He’s asking me for money constantly for his mortgage and food
Then he’s using you and thats why you shouldn't date him
Simple
I thought you said everyone has debt lol?
Yes of course lol
But not everyone makes their girlfriend pay for it lol
He doesn’t make me he asks though
😂
Yes thats the same thing make or asks. Obviously if he ‘makes’ you thats a criminal offence haha
So yes. Asks you. Thats silly
How is he going to split the bills on a date? You probably have to pay for his meal everytime. Unless if you're okay with it...
As long as you keep your finances separate and the debt isn't out of control, I'd say do it.
No, I don't think so. I can't really say if he's irresponsible or not. Stuff happens in life where some people have no choice but to borrow money. Still, I wonder why he's not doing anything to try and get out of debt. If that's the case he's going to ruin his credit, or he might be so far in debt that his credit is already ruined and he knows it.
At your age, that’s normal. If he’s wanting a sugar momma out of you then set the record straight or move on.
He’s 33
Well not wanting to judge, I’d find out more info. Could be debt from a divorce, break up, perhaps he’s a high investor and leaves himself little cash. Never know. But still stand behind my comment about if he wants you to pay for everything, that’s totally different
Nah I personally wouldn’t, I mean sometimes he may not be fixing it because he’s in denial or he may not see a way out but if they started asking me for money that just add to their problems because I’m tight with mine and I need someone with some sort of plan even if it’s contacting a company for advice..
NO.
Never date anyone with money problems.
BELIEVE ME - I learned this from experience THREE times.
No!!! Run!!! If he’s not actively trying to fix it that means in the relationship you will start trying to help him and take his debt upon yourself. No no no. He’s not ready!! Move on
Depends on your reason for dating. If your goal is to find a guy to make a household and family, how well do you think that would work with him as your partner?
depends on how much debt he's in. its best not to give this guy any money and let him bail himself out of the situation. but in all fairness though everyone has some debt and if they dont then they're full of shit
What if he’s asking me for money
dont give it to him tell him you have your own bills to pay or ask him if he wants to pay your bills that will shut him up
I gave him $300 last month he’s asking for $160 now
God don't give him anymore the guy is using you for your money
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
The thing is will he be trying to get money off of you is what you got to consider
when we have debt we got to do what we can to fix the problems are self.
This might become a problem later on. I say proceed with caution but if he starts mooching off of you, dump him.
He is a liability. I’m not saying you should date a guy who has money but at least a guy who has his financials figured out. It’s never smart to being spending more than you are making. Now if his debt is student debt it’s different.
What's that got to do with you? Does he owe you money? Or do expect him to finance all your expenses?
In that case don't waste his time.
If he was attempting to fix it, even just a little, yes. But if he's not caring about it at all, no.
Dont give someone money that you're dating or thinking about dating. This sounds more like a scam.
I already gave him $300
It's not the fact that he is in debt that bothers me as much as the fact that you said he's NOT doing anything to FIX it! That would be the dealbreaker for me.
