how soon in a relationship would you like to know about your new mate's financial situation, and would you let it be a deciding factor in continuing the relationship?

Well everybody has some type of money problems rather it's now or in the pass. Just depends on how bad it was. But I don't think I would let that be a relationship breaker.

Sooner than later. The last thing you wanna get into is an exclusive relationship with someone with crappy credit and whatnot.

I only ever went out with a couple chicks that had any money so it don't matter much to me.

i cant b in a relationshp yet i have good credit but i have 3,500$ of bills n i wor all hours doing watever i can to pay up. i don't have time for a good relationship right now, n i dont want my problems to b a load to my companion. so in turn to ur question yes it is a second date discussion over coffe or ice cream then i would move on to dinners at resturaunts n movies.

Society should stay with society and let the rest be broke together.

As long as your not talking marriage and they helpwith expenses on outings other than dates who cares ?

Depending on the progression of the relationship, however I generally throw out a lot of information about myself in the beginning of the relationship, including the dirty laundry, so that an informed decision can be made about the relationship.

I don't need to know their financial situation, unless they're looking for a sugar daddy, then I'd just say good luck.

If you are in a dating situation and it starts to look serious it is time to know. You do not want to get bitten in the booty. Cover Your Arse!

If you got your act together why do you want to have someone who does not have their act together get their messed up situation to affect yours? Is it fair to become serious and get a surprise when your significant other's bad credit starts haunting you?

It also will give you an idea where your other half's taste really run. If she has a BMW, lives in Beverly Hills, wears very expensive clothing, and has twenty credit cards with balances I think you would be better forewarned unless you are daddy big bucks!

Its all relative to the individual though. Some prefer to see love through rose colored glasses.

When things got very serious, like marriage, but if you don't know by then anyway, then you need to find out why you haven't figured that out and why the other person was hiding it.
