[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 47 divorced 2 years. I am very attractive good hobbies great job that I love and most importantly 2 beautiful.kids that I love so much.

However I am broke and this has honestly kept me from dating. Between child support, saving for college, emergency fund and retirement while I am not paycheck to paycheck for most women in the DMV I am sure they won't come anywhere near me. Women dl often say they have their own and don't need yours and I believe them. However it doesn't mean they are open to date a man who is barely making it.

I could be wrong. But I don't even want the discussion to come up so for now I just won't date.[/quote]

FWIW I did not screen for income when dating. I make more than my current partner. He is wonderful and kind and adores my kids. I was looking for something different in a new relationship than my marriage - XH made money but was controlling and demeaning. I found a gentleman in every sense of the word. He works in an idealistic field and is a happy, kind, gentle spirit but has never made much. I make enough for myself and my kids are taken care of between me and XH, so this is exactly the partner I need. [/quote]

How do you go about traveling together and date nights? Are you covering most of it, or you are going camping, no entertainment, eat at home etc? [/quote]
