personal hygiene is over rated
Damn right, it's where I took my girlfriend on our first two dates
I worked in a supermarket and had no money
Last month though I bought my girlfriend a Chloe handbag for her birthday and a Merc C-class Kompressor for Christmas.
I don't mind doing it because I know she loves me for me; otherwise she wouldn't have spent those years eating noodles and shopping for clothes in supermarkets.
She went with her heart not my salary; always the best option
Haha @ the Mcdonalds.
You must be on some decent salary to be buying your gf that sh1t!
I'm gonna agree with CB at least partially on the job thing. Now I don't agree you should use ones salary as a judging point when evaluating potential relationship material, BUT I would never date someone that is unemployed (not talking about the super rich I sold a patent type of person). I had (might still be 'have') the possibility of dating the girl I met in my EMT class last year. We've talked frequently but I've been hesitant to pursue anything with her because she was fired from her job for poor attendance (her fault). I like the girl, our personalities click and I am more than a little attracted to her physically, but the jobless thing has caused me to hold off pursuing anything with her. Lucky for me she's now got a new job (starting today and within 5 minutes of my office :costumed
so maybe we'll see how she does there. My point is, I wouldn't want to start into someone who has no way to support themselves and wouldn't want to offer them a crutch in the way of money. Someone who you've are in a longterm relationship with who get laid off from a job is a different story.No I have game. Just lack the time to commit to it. Plus I enjoyed my share of fun in college.
I'm a Director of a global company now
I fell on my feet a little after losing my job last year She needed a new car anyway as we have 2 kids and boot on the A-Class is too small to keep a buggy and other stuff like shopping. The present really was buying her a Kompressor, they can really shift and she's a speed freak.
But like I said before, if i'd have met her a year or two back when I was already a website manager I probably wouldn't buy her whatever she wanted now, it's just that she's been with me through times so hard she offered to sell her jewellery to get us to the end of the month.

I agree with both Typhon and CB. How is this possible, let me explain.
As a guy (person), I want someone who care and loves me for me and NOT for my money or capability to make money. It is a complete turn-off when a woman ask how much I make on a first day. I understand that there is a need to feather the nest and dating guys that are NOT "loser / leechers" but there are other ways around it. Be observant. Materialistic people turn me off, personally (maybe its just me).
From CB's point of view, you have ever right to try to get informed about the person you want to go out with. Is he in credit debt? How well does he manage his money. I dont' think you are really concerned or have an amount of money that a guy makes but rather if he is finicial stable and that you will not be carrying the burden of paying for everything (like most of us guys on dates!!!). Cb, welcome to how guys feel about finding out how some girls are blood-sucking leeches (same for guys out there that does the same). Dump them and move on.
As for the dating scene, taking a girl on to a burger joint is cool if you are in your 20's and getting setup but I think CB is looking for someone more settled. Here is my tabit of advice, did you enjoy those dates? Did he make you smile? I mean if he creeps you out, then JET; trust your instinct or else you may be sitting at an intersection with a truck trying to ram you (go go kraky).
Personally, I have been out of the dating game too long and you should be proud of yourself for making the effort to meet other poeple. It's scary, exciting, disappointing, but adventous nonetheless. Hope you post more crazy date stuff!!!
