I would say live modestly, and not let them know that you have alot of money... The old Eddie Murphy movie was a bit to the extreme, but a good show...

I see flaws.

If we pretended we were poor, then how would a person prove that they loved me?

I would not pretend anything.

ANd I am not rich and I am not single.

Having a child doesnt make a person poor..
It makes them much richer with the more important things in life!

That is very true.... plus she would like the mystery of the whole thing, but you would be put off to the side for sure...

I don't suggest lying, just live modestly and she will assume you are not rich... just don't tell her you are...cheers

wait i have an idea maybe i could leave her enough money to take care of herself, and her child and then also leave an annonymous e-mail to tell her to contact the annymous person and tell her who it isn't, and if she asks if its me i will tell her no,

and live modestly

but then you would be lying to her....

You do seem either very eager to tell her about your money, or eager to let people on here know that you might have "money"

But I don't know why? unless you are the "bragging type"?????
dunno

I don't feel superiour to her at all, its not that, its about me helping her, money doesn't buy hapiness, i could have the worlds largest castle but if i have no one to share it with, its worth nothing,

So this is real?

Real people involved? You and a lady with a child?

Well, I would not rush into sending her anything, I would get to know her, get to feel comfortable with each other, spend some time together, then once she feels that she has your trust, then you can begin slowly, if you are in a position to, to make her life easier.

Would that not be the better way?

Your idea sounds very romantic, but I think the more solid and building way is to do it gradually.

And without making her feel, poor.

Hun though that is true for about 20% of the population, 80% regaurdless what they say, will go for the money... think about all the people you know, most will allow money to overide their principles... it's sad but very very true...

How many millionaires have you seen or that you may know that have a woman or man beside them that is as ugly as they might be....I would say 80% of people would literally sell their soul. for money...cheers

This suggests some form of intentional manipulation. Don't like that when it deals with such a serious issue as marriage.JMOcheers
