Dating a lovely man with no disposable money

[IveGot3kids]

I've got a real dilemma. I met a lovely man on online dating, we get on great, and are about 5 or 6 dates in.

I have 3 children and he has 2. All of our children are under 10.

I'm fairly financially comfortable and have enough disposable money to go out for date nights most weeks etc. He's a nurse and is very dedicated to his job and children. He appears to provide the best life he can for them, but as a result, he has seemingly no disposable income. He's been single for a few years and had a very quiet social life so I don't think he realises how much socialising can cost.

I am starting to fall for him and I feel terrible for thinking this, but I don't know if I can continue to pay for all of our dates. Him ever affording a holiday seems impossible.

I am really torn. Am I going to end up falling for him and then resent him down the line?

I know that if I call things off I'll be miserable and sad. AIBU to even consider ending it because of his financial position?

@Livingoncake you summed up everything I was thinking and feeling about this thread.. interesting also that the OP has now disappeared!

The big message from this thread is that wonen DO need to be manipulated to give an unbiased answer.

Buggered...
Why should he come back? He got page after page telling him he was in the right.

Let us know how your date goes OP ... did she spoil you ;D

I once dated a guy who had no money. I wasn’t rich myself. At uni on a student loan. But I adored him. In reality it wouldn’t have worked out but don’t let £££ get in the way of true love. Perhaps he’s poor because he’s living alone, if it ever became that you moved in together he wouldn’t suddenly have a lot more money. You don’t need expensive dates

(sorry I haven't read any of the answers on here) but let's face it, if you are asking on here then it bothers you. Don't bother.
