    Would you? I feel my crush is with someone only because he's constantly spending money on her

    No. It's an extremely rare and often criticized trait of people. I can literally think of only one user EVER on EC who stated he would only be attracted to rich people.

    And he was virtually laughed out of the place.

    No, not at all. I would feel bad personally. Money can't buy happiness, especially in the long term. Besides, I don't think I could stand spending much time with someone I don't like...

    What if they were somewhat attractive, your friends approved and he/she took you to every concert you wanted to go too? Also took you out to dinner and drove you everywhere? not even for stability?

    No. I think I'd be uneasy about my (hypothetical) boyfriend spending a lot of money on me even if I was absolutely crazy about him. I wouldn't be able to live myself to use another person like that, especially someone who thinks I'm genuinely interested in him. This is a really, really bad thing to do.

    No the amount of money they have has no weight to me, if a person thinks they can win me over by buying me stuff or if they feel I must buy them stuff for the relationship to work then to me that's not romance, that's more like bartering and selling ones self.
    however,
    I also would not date a lazy person who refuses to be independent or who refuses to work when able, that doesn't mean I discriminate against the disabled if a person is unable to work do to a disability then I might still date them if I found them attractive.

    Where all different however, so if money is what your into, then go ahead and knock yourself out, that's just not my thing. Sure their are things I want, but I want to earn them myself with hard-work, I do not want to be handed any thing. The only time I accept a "hand-out" is when their is no other option but to turn to the government for Link card and Fin Aid for college.

    Nope. But are you sure theyre only together because of the financial relationship? You may only be seeing one side of things. I don't doubt that you're picking up on legitimately annoying behavior from her, but jealousy can make us see what we want to see. I think that every time I had an unrequited crush on someone who was taken I would find a way of diminishing their relationship.

    This isn't necessarily a bad thing; Once the relationship is reduced to "dating her only because she cooks them breakfast every day" I immediately begin following it up with "that spoiled brat piece of sh*t" and I start moving past it. Reducing someone to their faults is a wonderful way to get past the hurt.

    Or, if she really is dating him for the money, then he clearly is either too dense or insecure or shallow to realize this and form a real connection with someone, and you can do so much better.

    No. And I'm not just saying that because I'd feel bad. But I'd feel really weird dating someone I'm not interested in. I don't want the weight of someone wanting affection of any kind when I don't see them that way.

    No. Not just no, but Hell No.

    And this is coming from someone who doesn't have the best income.

    But...there are people who don't have my view. There have undoubtedly been plenty of marriages of: (person with youthful, good looking body)+(person with money).

    But what if you were afraid of your sexuality? Like you were questioning your sexuality so you jumped into something with the first person that showered you with attention and money?

    OP, you won't get a positive answer here. No one will say, yes, I would or yes, I am. But many people do it.

    Also you can hardly know what your crush really feels for the person.
