I’m from a lower middle class family (that’s the best way to put it I guess since we weren’t poor but not “comfortable” either”). My best friend was dating this guy. This guy had an wealthy uncle. The wealthy uncle saw me on social media (mutuals) and asked my best friend if I’d be down for a date. It’s funny because I’m introverted and shy, so at first I wanted to say no, but then I remembered I had all of these dreams (getting my teeth done, laser hair removal, expensive skincare / hair treatments, fancy clothes, having a house and nice car, travelling, etc.) which who knows when (if ever) I’d be able to fulfil on my own - so at my best friend’s encouragement I went. Our first date was at a fancy restaurant, and it was the first time in my life when I was able to order exactly what I wanted without being stopped by the price, then he took me shopping and got me (among others) an iPhone 11 Pro Max (I remember this so well cause I always wanted an iPhone but they were too expensive for my family).
You know, our arrangement was never formally discussed. It was just naturally understood. You take care of my wants and needs and I take care of your wants and needs.
Here’s a couple:
How did you find each other?
How transactional was/is it? As in, was your arrangement discussed before hand? Written down?
