If you were on a date and got asked if your job paid you enough to cover all your bills, how would you respond? (dating, girls)

I just looked at her like she was crazy. I couldnt believe it. My job pays ok.(I work in an entry-level position at one of the Big 4 Banks) People tell me I look well off,but I'm 24 and living at home, so I have to disagree....anyway...how would have you responded to that?

[sydney1987]

i'm 23 and at home. the economy's tough these days... and i'm not going to be scraping for food somewhere while trying to find a job. lucky to have parents help. you are lucky as well

as long as you plan to move out and be independent eventually, i wouldn't care. some girls would i suppose. but isn't dating about finding someone who will accept you for who you are, as you are, anyway?

^^^^true

Also I dont have any issues paying my bills and its just that I cant afford an apartment or roommate.

[TabulaRasa]

How would I respond?

"Check!"

[mrstewart]

I would have said "no, actually, I can't cover my expenses so I thought you could cover the cost of dinner!"

This girl sounds very rude and I doubt I would have a second date with someone who asks questions like that.

So then what happened?

[Yiuppy]

If I was asked that on a DATE? Lol! I would have chuckled and politely pardoned myself to end the date, which I hope you did and have no plans to continue communications with her.

"yes of course, but if one day I can't, can you give me a cash advance with no finance charge?. then i can pay my Con Ed bill AND the minimum payment on my VISA..."

[TKramar]

Of course it does. But I wouldn't expect too many dinners out.

We didnt go on a second date, plus she kept making references to Kings of Leon's song, "Sex on Fire".......i thought i was on Candid Camera or something, worse date I've been on
