Dumb topic to ponder, but it's eatin my lunch nonetheless. Should you come from comparible economic backgrounds or current situations? As a single mother tickled when the lights are still on the next day, do you really invite the good doctor over for mac and cheese? lol
I understand what that means... But, if he is a doctor? Then, going through med chool, he probably knows all about mac and cheese and the fine art of going without... Also, if you are totally up front, he already knows:)
I was waiting for you to have something mahvelous to say! :) But the "doctor" reference was generically speaking, only as an example. There's just such a wide variety of people on this site from all walks of life, my little ol' South End of town seems tiny. lol
Awww, lol! Getting late, so my mind is turning mushy:P My city/town is small, too.. Really, though, hon. There alot of things to try...Most important is to just be yourself and totatlly up front...Make sandwiches, coffee or whatever... find a nice spot...And, just hang out. Be comfortable, and let go...
if it is you he wants the doc will not mind have whatever fix because doc is their to see you not eat dinner so go for it and if he thinks you don't measure 'cause of the mac n cheese do you really want him
lol...okay...the "doctor" reference was generic, and the mac and cheese was metamorphically speaking. lol But tickled to see what everyone's thoughts are.
In my opinion having comparible economic backgrounds is a plus. They would understand where you are coming from, and why you have the interests you do. Not so much because of the money but because some of the interests are based on ones financial staus. A person with alot of money more than likely wouldn't like to do some of the things a more budgeted person likes.
It isn't that lower budgeted folks LIKE that, lol. They do love other things as well, silly. Just don't have the budget for certain freedoms another might have.
Exactly, glad you understood. I would love to go golfing at fancy resort but its not practical for me. So my hobbies fit my budget and as well as my lifestyle. I can't change that, and really don't care to.
Would a membership to a fancy club mean a better game of golf along with the gotta have the latest whatever vs a game with your mates on a cheap fairway with laughs???
If the person with the greater income cant understand that a budget can be a great thing, its their loss.
Thing is... There are lots of cool things to do that do't require high, or low budget...Imagination goes far, I feel. Barbeques, picnics, parks, walks, coffee, DVDs, cemetery exploring...LOL
A difference in economical standing shouldn’t ever matter however, as everything else there are variables to consider. I know money sometimes changes people’s personalities and most will think they need to advance themselves to the affluent crowd. But if two people of different economical status are physically compatible or attracted to each other why would this even be a conversation? I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t change who you are to become something else.
Soooo, the guy with more money than sense is gonna be thrilled to eat hot dogs on the grill (barbecue), then watch Ford Fairlane (DVD), then take that (walk) down the alley in the ghetto, after drinking off brand coffee and I'm out of creamer, then we're gonna go kick headstones? SUH WEET! NOW I HAVE IT ALL PLANNED OUT! lol
(Sorry)
I'm with the fella a couple posts up. I'm puttin him in the "Crush" thread. lol
NOOOOOOOOO! It was said tongue in cheek, you nut! And I'm not IN a massive situation like this, I just tend to avoid conversation with someone who's about 30 economical steps above me. Wondering if anybody else did the same thing.
Cynical? Oh heavens no. Sarcastic? Very. I ONLY wondered if anyone else saw it as an issue. Sarcasm, cynicism and everything else aside, financially, I'm certainly not where I invisioned myself being at this point, and would unwillingly feel discomfort dating someone at the opposite end of the spectrum. Nothing more, nothing less. Wondered if it was just me.
