Which would you choose?
The perfect life would be to fall deeply in love with someone and live happily ever after. When we hear that or say that its understood that living happily ever after includes being financially well off, in a relationship that's a dream come true in every way. The kids are smart as whip and become successful adults.
Now open your eyes and face reality. We have married couples struggling to make ends meet. Single parents have it even harder. These days living happily ever after is being able to just pay bills on time. Hoping your kids will stay out of trouble because they understand the sacrifice parents have to make working more and spending less time with them.
Truth is sometimes the pressure of having pay bills can force you to think about things you wouldn't if circumstances were better. There are certain things we must have in life which include a place to live, food, clothes, etc. I am keeping things simple by focusing on the basic necessities. We are facing high gas and food prices, everything is going up except our income which is still the same or lower because so many people are losing their jobs.
Since we have families to feed we start to look at things differently and weigh our options. With all things considered, we may make a screwed up decision based on the will to survive but because we also do it out of love for our families, do you think we chose money over love? Do you think that the saying is true that money is the root of all evil or the love of money is the root of all evil. Whatever the case may be we all want love and need money.

Let The Relationship Begin!
Who Makes it Official?
Remember in elementary school or the first year of middle school when a boy liked a girl he slipped her a note that said: Will you be my girlfriend? circle yes or no. Those were the good old days when simple things were indeed simple. I was wondering how this works in 2008.
Women in general are always more willing and ready to commit than men. Most of us seem to have a sense of urgency when it comes to relationships. There is nothing wrong with wanting to know if the guy you're interested in- is on the same page as you. In the beginning its important to discuss where each of you are in life to see if a serious long term relationship is even an option. You shouldn't start anything assuming you both want the same things.
After a couple months of dating and discussing dating expectations, you find that you and this guy have great potential to develop a wonderful long lasting relationship. He consistently compliments you, smiles at you, doesn't mind being a perfect gentlemen (especially in public). He enjoys your company and has mentioned he would like you to meet his family. The conversation at this point says that you're a couple however he hasn't said the actual words or slipped you a note so........ it's up to you. Make it official by telling him how you feel and that you know that he feels the same- and because you both feel the same, he is now your boyfriend:).
