What if...

...someone offered you a life you've never imagined and all he asked is you to be his girlfriend?

Well, there seemed to be nothing complicated about the question. Even a 5 year old would be able to read that but what's there to say no? IMHO, there are a few ways looking at it. It's not as easy as a no or yes answer.

Options:

1) If you like/love him, what's there not to be happy about? It's a life that you've never imagined! You already like him, and now he likes you and want you to be his girlfriend, that's great! Considering he is filthy rich, he will buy you anything you want and perhaps a bouquet of flowers everyday till you guys hit your 1st year anniversary! Sounds so romantic, no?

Or even the whole gold shop!

2) If option (1) goes so well, so what's the problem? The other factor that I would really consider is definitely the status. Is he married? If not, option (1) works beautifully but what if he's married? Would you want to be the 3rd party? I would strongly advice one not to do so if you don't want to have a lady knocking on your door one day and splash acid on your face. Then, no matter how much money you have, you'll never been able to enjoy it! You can have a fling or two but definitely not on a long term relationship with a married man.

3) The age gap. How old would your boyfriend be? For example, I'm 25 years old and what would be the acceptable ceiling age of my boyfriend? Some would say 30+ or even at 40's but seriously, why is age a barrier? I'll look at it this way - I am perfectly fine to date a man in his 50's but I will think it over a thousand times if I were to marry him and then start a family. The only problem is probably the acceptance by the family! Think of the future... many years ahead and you'll feel lonely if he were to pass away way before you. Of course, those who chose a man much older than them usually have no problems with cash flow. So how about someone even older than your parents?

What if he is my boyfriend?

4) Would you say yes because you're tempted with the good life and money? If you're motivated by money, surely the relationship wouldn't last and it wouldn't be love. You can be happy with the monetary gifts and material wealth but is that really happiness? I can definitely tell you that money isn't everything but without money, there isn't anything! So it's up to you how you want to balance your life I guess.... But if you would to ask me, his financial status is a very important criteria for me to choose a boyfriend. After all, I want someone whom earns better than me and smarter than me! If not, how to buy me expensive wine and dine?

5) But what if you already have a boyfriend?!! Haha... would you leave him for another man? Under what circumstances would you leave your existing bf for a new bf? I don't think I really have an answer for this.


In conclusion, I would say yes to the question if 1) I do like him (not for his money only) emotionally & physically and 2) that he loves me and is into a long term relationship rather than being a player. Youth is very short-lived. Enjoy it while you still can. Unlike men, women tend to depreciate in value as they get older whereas men enjoy all the value appreciation like fine wine. So, choose wisely and I would think an older man maketh a good partner. So what if the problem is in the Option (3) & (5) at the same time? How would you solve this? What would be your final verdict?

Tempting offer, tough decision.
