    He licked my neck when he hugged me before I left the coffee shop. No kiss or even cheek kiss, straight to discreetly tasting my neck.

    :o

    It's probably some sure-fire How To Make a Chick Horny tip from an ebook that he wasted money on.

    He kept telling me that I looked just like his ex, so maybe it was another basis for comparison. Or, based on the ex being a redhead too and the rumors, it may have been more for him than me. Either way, I passed on seeing him again.

    You have eyes. Do you corrupt your personal decision making process with lookism?

    Yes. The basic need for people to be attracted to one another is equivalent to shallow, trashy, gold digging. Seriously? :|

    So sick of this....ugh...Stop being attracted to my attractiveness!!

    Some would consider paying bills more important than basic attraction. Many people through many centuries in many countries have arranged marriages based solely on "shallow, trashy, PROVIDING."

    Just a thought. That the women you are talking about might not be as shallow as you think, but are rather being practical.

    Maybe they want to make sure the person is not a bum. Wanting someone responsible who pays their bills does not a gold digger make.

    If people get more serious then a discussion about finances will come up.

    The notion that women are somehow so incapable of taking care of themselves that they would expect or even need to be "provided for" in the old school sexist sense is pretty offensive in the 21st century. At least in the developed, liberated West. I'll not speak about situations in other places or times.

    In the relationship sense, I'd be looking for a partner, not a dependent. I work to support myself...which is about as basic as it gets. That's all I expect of anyone. As long as they are a functioning adult who can take care of themselves, I really don't care how much or how little they make.

    When it comes to marriage, on the other hand, (which presumably happens much later on)...that is when it's necessary to discuss credit scores, debt, etc. But even then, remember: "For better or worse, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer....." (I know, right? Wedding vows. Solemn oaths sworn in front of everyone you know, usually including whatever your religious figure is. How quaint!)

    I honestly can't think of a situation where a relationship is properly based in money. Well, I can, but those are the sorts of interactions that can land you in jail...

    Our first dinner together. Everything is going fine. Then out of the blue he states, "We will have five children". I nearly spit out my drink.

    Funnily enough, five is the perfect number of kids I'd like to have someday, but I never told this guy that before our meeting, and this came out of nowhere!

    Either a sign to run or a sign of fate. You rolls your dice and you takes your chances. :)
