this reminds me of a dating experience not so long ago. long story short after a few dates (which i paid for) woman plays the “lets be friends” card.
Me: I have enough friends and i’m not interested in more.
her: ?!?!
me: so let me get this straight, as your friend you expect me to pay for everything and you do what exactly? …just sit there and entertain?
her: (surprised) well ya
me: ya thats not going to work for me
moral is. in any dating situation both people should be looking at what they’re bringing to the table. if you are wonderful, fun to be with etc then i’m fairly certain there are people who would respond accordingly. to have expectations without bringing anything in return seems a bit shortsighted.

December 11, 2007 at 10:02 AM #114021pbnativeParticipantIs he being considerate, charming, and fun? If yes, why isn’t that enough while you get to know each other? Maybe the lack of a ‘nicer’ date is really a need for some romance? What if he showed up with flowers for a ‘less-nice’ date, or a book he thought you might enjoy? Would that be enough? If not, IMO you’re just looking to enjoy someone else’s money.
The pre-nup conversation does seem odd though, if not brought up in another context (as someone else mentioned). I have a pre-nup, so it wouldn’t bother me, but it’s sorta like the guy who says ‘I love you’ on the second date. Yikes.
As an aside, pre-nups are also good for protecting your assets within a marriage. My husband was in a liability-prone occupation when we married, and we didn’t want my owned-prior-to-marriage house (our home) open to someone going after him. We both have appropriate insurance, but the extra protection is nice.
