Been dating a woman for about a month now. Things are going really well and I see some long term potential here. She checks all the boxes and then some except for her financial situation. She currently has a small clothing business (mostly handmade hats, scarves and other accessories) that she owns with another woman. She has a daughter (13) and rents a house with her brother although it sounds like that might be just for the next year and then its unknown what she'll be able to afford after that. I get the impression that she's essentially living paycheck to paycheck. Don't know anything about her long term financial plans (paying for college, retiring, etc) and I hesitate to ask b/c I think we're just living in two different worlds. I have no problem paying full fare for all of our dating excursions as I'm having a good time but I don't think I'm looking to support someone and possibly their kid in the long term. I'd hate to call it off as its been slow going finding someone that's a legitimate 8 and 5 (so far) on the hot crazy matrix, but the pragmatist in me is concerned. Talk some sense into me.
