ok, Got to see the cute (single) client of mine that I'm sort of interested in today. (And I believe he's interested too.) In the midst of conversation, we kind of got on the topic of jobs and income and etc... my question is, if a man brings up(in a NON arrogant type way)how much money he makes, does that show that he's interested? I always thought it was arrogant and rude when people would bring up their income, but with the way our conversation was going, it semed logical. He doesn't seem to be a "show-off" type guy (though we all know how terrible my judge of character is...lol)But it did seem he wanted to make a point that I KNEW he wasnt broke. Anyway... any insight? opinions??

Thanks,
Pal

He's just letting you know that *IF*.........he is very capable of taking care of you and your kids. Sounds likd a very good "possible".


Good luck,

It could just be he is doing the male Peacock routine were they show off there plumage to prove there worthyness as a mate.

The answers to your questions lay in his history....in short is this step one in his players play book, as Dr Phill says the best predictor of future actions is past behavior, does he have a lot of women in his past ??

Have fun with this but just take care not to commit your emotions until you know him better and his history.

PS: Are you still running ?

pal,

every guy has his style, he could be just telling u for the sake of it but he might be telling u something also, chk out his past relationship with other women, it would not hurt to go out with him if he asks u, i think it is a compliment to u if he asks u out

jmho,
max

personally i would not discuss how much i make, it will show actually

Hi all, and thank you for your input. Not too certain about his past history. I know he's been married once, they separated, got back together to see if they could work things out, didn't work out, ultimately divorced. They have 2 children (he has full custody) and they get along and compromise well. That's as far as I've pryed so far. He seems really nice, I know someone else who works with him and says he's a genuinely nice guy. I'm not counting on anything, but I'm almost certain we are gonna go out eventually. I get nervous and turn into a talking bubbly idiot when he's around. (feels good!!) I'll keep you all posted!

Free, good memory! Yes I am still running. I have 3 races to run this summer. A 5k, a 10k and then a 1/2 marathon in the beginning of fall. I'm excited, yet nervous. The most i've ran so far at one time is 10 miles, and I thought my body was gonna break. I'm comfortable running 6-7 miles 4 times a week right now. I'll get there. I still love it though! How about you?? oh, by the way, I found an awesome running site, that has forums and message boards and the boards are always rocking!!! Very busy and informative!! It is
www.coolrunning.com (incase you're interested!)

Take care, and thanks again for the input,
Pal
