I filled out a profile on a dating site yesterday because I have been feeling pretty lonely...

I checked my email this morning and got a response from someone that has a lot of great characteristics. Above all, we share the same religion (which is rare). Sounds like she has some money and I am poor. I don't even have a car right now. She sounds wonderful and has asked to meet for coffee.

I'd love to meet her...what do I do?

Go ahead and meet her for coffee. You can afford coffee. Next steps based on the results of the coffee date. Do not worry about next steps now because you have too little information presently.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Go and meet her! Something like money is none of her business at the moment, and if you guys click and get serious in the future, then am sure, if she's the right one for you, then money wouldn't be an issue anyway.

Maybe I am just an old romantic, but money isnt everything. Sure, its nice to have, but I have always found that during my poor periods (of which there have been many) I've thought outside the box over things to do that are fun and free, or very low cost. Picnics, going to museums, walks, watching sunset over water.. ahh those days have always been the best :-)

I agree with riotgrrrl. See what happens with the coffee date. If you find yourself interested after that, there are lots of things to do that don't cost anything. And if she's any kind of person at all, she won't care WHAT you do.

When I was dating, and with someone I really liked, I didn't give a hoot what we did. I just wanted to be with that person! We could go for a walk, a ride, sit in the park, or whatever. Money didn't mean a thing!

So go for it. And please, let us know how it goes, okay? I hope it works out for you! You're a great person! Hugs, Lee

Go meet her!!! After that I'm sure you can find other inexpensive things to do if it continues!

We were both dirt poor when my husband and I met. We had to do no cost things and always had a great time being together. Now we have money we still find ourselves doing free things. They are the things we enjoy plus they remind us of the times when we first got together. Money is not important at this point. Go out and have a good time.

Meet her.

I don't think that you can be too poor to date, but I do believe you should have a stable economic situation before you engage.

[maggy.ng]

Meeting her is my answer.

i say what everyone else says Go for it!!!!!!!!!She may be the one!!!!!!!

As it turns out, this woman invites everyone she sends a "smile" to out for coffee. I decided not to date until I get my medical issues taken care of. I think my health provider put me on some meds that are not suppose to be taken together... grrrrr! I'll keep you all posted on that as well.

All doctors should have access to software that would tell them if your medications interact in a bad manner. Their smartphones even have those applications. It is not hard to spot drug interactions with this software being available and your health provider's omission is inexcusable.
