EDIT: Should clarify, I mean too successful in comparison to myself, which I would consider to have a pretty average lifestyle like most people my age.
Might sound weird, but does anyone else find it kinda intimidating and a bit of a turn off when your date has money? I (24f) have been on a few dates now with a guy (28m) I met on tinder, and as time has gone on I've discovered he is pretty successful in life. He has a mortgage and no other debt, a high paying job, and his house is filled with nice stuff and high end collectibles and tech. He is definitely a sweet guy and doesn't rub it into my face or anything, but I can't help but find it difficult to make a real connection with him.
I guess I've always just found it to be so much easier to relate to a guy who is in a similar life situation to myself. Like a lot of people, I am paying off student loans, paying rent and live a fairly modest life trying to get by. I've always found a date of instant noodles and Netflix in a tiny dorm room to be WAYY better than going to a nice bar/restaurant.
Not trying to say that being successful is a bad thing or an instant deal-breaker or anything, just that I find it too intimidating and hard to relate to people in such a different situation. Not to mention the potential issues that can arise from such a power imbalance. Does anyone else feel like this?
