In response to:
Ok, you met this man.....you like him, or at least you think you might like him.
Then he says he's broke, skint, potless. no money whatsoever, not even enough to take you out for dinner!!
Now do you take him out because you like him, or dismiss him without a second thought to even find out why?
Or do you ask him out and pay for dinner???
God. i will get flack for this one
Well, firstly dates needn't involve a huge financial outlay. A walk along the coast maybe, a lot of museums and galleries/exhibitions are free nowadays........ I may well (if its a nice day) make a nice picnic up and go to the country??
It all depends on why he is potless..............
If he has lost his job and hasn't yet secured another, perhaps he has an ex-wife and children to support, he could have had an accident and need to be off sick for a while, he works for charity or some other noble cause, his business went down the tubes and he is grappling his way back up....?? Any number of things. And any number of those would be fine.
However, if he was a lardy-arsed, lazy git that just wanted to veg on the sofa all day, drinking beer and watching daytime TV and not expect to have to work, but have the state support him, like the world owes him a living, then.............. errmmm, NO!!!!!
But then, its all about attitude of mind, isn't it? So..... not really about money, hey?
