A couple goes on a date (meet and greet) they are having a wonderful time together, they are richly connecting on every level, they are so comfortable with each other, they are falling for one another and really feel close and amazingly compatible. The date goes for hours and at the end of the night she asks him if he will call her to go out again. He says, "I would love to, but I have to tell you something first, and that is, although I have a really good and secure job I am starting over completely. I lost everything and have nothing (no real amount of money) other than my clothes, a car, an apartment and very little furniture. Do you still want me to call you and ask you out?"

Ladies what would you say to him if this was a scenario you found yourself in? Considering the fact that this man is the nicest guy you have ever met in a very long time and that he in fact was completely honest and hiding nothing no matter what you asked of him.

In a scenario like that, I would have absolutely no issues with his situation. wave

I think you will find that most of us have had to start over at some point and the fact that you are getting along so well with each other should overcome any judgement of the current situation (having less than you had). In fact when I had to start from scratch at one time all I had was the key to my apartment and a job and that was really the happiest time of my life (when you ain't got nothin' you got nothin' to lose). I don't think a woman would judge you harshly (if she was a good person and cared about you).handshake

After reading that last thread form start to finish about love online and all the fear of deceitfulness, I thought about this scenario and how it would effect whether the lady thought he was a gold digger, but it could easily be the other way around, (what I mean is genders switched).

I don't see this as a problem. I would definitely give him a chance.

No issues at all coz I had been in that situation before. In fact, he didn't even have the car, the apartment or the furniture! I went on to marry him even though he owed the credit card company big time and helped him to pay some of his debts off. We saved, bought few properties, a car and lots of furniture! Lol

Sadly, our 17 year-old marriage came to an end when I couldn't take his alcohol addiction anymore.

I would hope she would understand. If she isn' t okay with it though, what could I do? Just move on right. I can identify with this scenario as I pretty much had to start from scratch almost 7 years ago. Lost a really good job and had to go back to college for 2 years as part of retraining. I am okay now, been at the same employer for almost 2 and a half years. It is a situation that certainly takes courage to face.handshake

I can relate all to well with that, alcoholics and having a relationship don't sit well for me either.

Hi RS, wave maybe it's an age thing, it wouldn't be too unusual for people not to have more than you describe in their thirties. conversing It is a lot harder to start over again when you're older (thinking mortgage application etc.)

For me it wouldn't be a problem if someone has a good work ethic and is willing to do something to improve his life. wine

It wouldn't make a difference to me if they were living in a box. Material possessions can be replaced. So long as they ticked all the other boxes, then it wouldn't matter.
The fact they were honest and gave a 'back out' option, shows they are serious and honest. I'd call them the following day and chat and see if they were still OK with it all, and that wasn't then testing me. Then, if they were comfortable with me asking, I'd ask how it all happened.
