[quote=Anonymous]OK, I'll play. I've been approached by one very wealthy man and another powerful but not blue blooded man. Neither were right for me, they were the pursuers and I was just not interested.

The very wealthy man laid it all out. If I had been interested, moving would have been required but he also specified the assets I would receive to offset my risk. It was an incredibly business-like discussion. I wasn't interested and although I found his pragmatic sensibility about relationships intriguing, I needed to want more than the money. I needed to want him, and I didn't. So it was an easy choice to walk away.

It sounds like you have something that I didn't, which was a combination of being actually interested AND the man is wealthy. It doesn't surprise me that he laid out the facts of his situation directly. There's no easy way to tell someone about unusual financial circumstances and directly is perhaps the best way. But I wouldn't focus on that. I would focus on him as a person.

If he is not the right man, no amount of money will make him be the right man. If he is, he deserves to be considered as a whole person. So my advice? Don't actually think about the money. Think about compatibility, shared values, lifestyle preferences, etc.  You don't need to ask for the right gift or look a certain way. [/quote]
