    Hmm. I don't mind a bloke being skint, and cheap dates, but I do mind him being skint and spending on credit, even if it is on stuff for me!

    I say just get yourself dating. Isn't lycos still a free dating web site?

    There are so many EVIL rich men about.. or seemingly rich... happy to leave 'em for the gold diggers .. and it's true that the sense of humour really does laugh 'em into bed more than cocktails...

    When i met OH, I was doing ridiculous things like blowing the whole of a months wages in 4 days at glastonbury ( and i got free tix & transport :eek:) and when I fell in love with him I blew my rent money income the lot on being with him.

    When he moved in here a few weeks later, he couldnt believe my finances. I wouldnt have had a LB without him, and we now have some savings & Ive reduced my debt by almost 1.5k in a matter of weeks. Saving for a wedding before we know it :)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    theres a free dating site called loopylove. it works similar to those click and earn sites. you earn points for things like updating your profile and adding pics. they send out ads and offers for you to visit and earn more points. then you spend the points to reply to messages.

    i signed up ages ago but havent used it yet. i dont want to get involved with someone while im in my current mess.

    I think it would depend on what kind of woman you met, so there is no definate answer.
    Some will want to be wined and dined as their lifestyle will be like that, others are more homely creatures and are content to watch the telly and snuggle up after tea.
    What sort of person are you at heart? What is your ideal 'date' like?

    If at all possible it would be better to have cleared your debts at first but if you happen to meet someone in the meantime then you aren't going to not bother with them because of money are you?
    But just don't get sidetracked and spend more money that you can't afford cos when love is on the cards that can take over everything.
