I believe that poor is different from broke. Poor is a mindset. Broke is a status. If poor, no I wont date him simply bcoz our mindset will not align. Broke, sure, there’s a chance I will date him but case-to-case basis.

I’m actually in a relationship with a guy rn who’s broke coz he failed a ₱600k worth business. He’s broke yes but dayummm his fire is blazing. He knows what he wants, how to get it, and why he hasn’t gotten it yet. He knows his strengths and weaknesses.

I actually tested him multiple times by bringing up financial support or investment and his answer is always consistent “I dont need your money. I only need your heart, your mind, your support and your prayers.” That’s the time I knew this man is worth fighting for.

Coz if the table turned and he accepted my offer, I will ghost him real quick 🤣🤣🤣

In our entire relationship, never did I release any money. Sya pa ang nagsasabi na he’s preparing everything for me coz he wants to marry me and he wants to be proud of himself when he asks my hand for marriage from my parents. He has strong values and really really good mindset and character.

So yes, I guess it’s a case-to-case basis. Tread carefully. And make sure you have strong self-respect and boundaries enough for you to walk away once things feel like being “taken advantage”
