Dating man who rents in 50s

[Starlightstarbeight]

So I’ve met a guy who seems nice. We’re both in our 50s. Been out a few times but.. unlike all men I’ve dated before (and me) doesn’t own his own property. He did own a house years ago but left it to his wife when he divorced years and has been renting since.
He has a reasonably well paid job. I’m quite financially secure and I’m not looking for someone to “support “ me financially but not sure if this is worth pursuing as our finances are so different…

I completely agree. My lovely dad left the house and most of the money to my mum when I was a child. He was an older father and left the house when he was in his early 60’s and already retired due to ill health. He always owned property and even had two at one point I remember. He’s 80 next year and still renting. He never had the money to get back onto his feet property wise. He’s such a lovely wonderful person and I would be glad for any woman to weed herself out by not dating him.

Op, I understand your concerns completely. Perhaps date him casually for a while and get to know his situation and then decide. And date other men to keep your options open.

He rents, instead of owing money to a bank?😳🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😱

LTB.

Some responses here are crackers and quite mean. I don't see anything nasty in the first post by the OP. If you really drill down the question it's about compatibility rather than the simple fact the bloke is renting a house rather than "owing money to a bank" (which can be loosely paraphrased as "helping someone else who owes money to a bank". Some answers are full of whataboutery, too, that aren't necessarily relevant.

We don't know the OP or the guy so saying he deserves better is a wild reach. You date people to find out if you're compatible. If you find out you're financially unsuited then you finish it. That's what the OP could do.

I had to check this wasn't AIBU.
