A female United States age 30-35, *rahn writes:

I am for now a single women. I have been getting to know two guys that I really like. One guy is going to be very successful but I'm afraid he won't have time for me and our relationship. The other guy is just your average Joe but with him there is no time limit to which he can spend with me. My family expects me to be with someone who is going to be financially stable. But money is not everything, but it's a plus. I know the time will come when I will have to make a decision and I just need some advice. I don't know if I can disappoint my family, but when I'm in a relationship I need to feel appreciated, loved, and unforgotten. What should I do?

raiders agony auntBe with whom you want to be with, your family shouldn't decide whom you should marry. If you want to have all the greatest things money can buy but live lonely, depress, not feeling love, than choose money. If you want to feel appreciate, happy, and love than choose love. It would be great to have it all in the same man but unfortunately you don't so do whatever your heart tells you, but think wisely because this is your life, and who ever you choose will be on your future.

Lexie88 agony auntI agree with Dekten. Never rely on anyone else but yourself for financial security. Sure it's nice to live comfortably, but you need to be able to do this with or without a man's input.

You say you need to "feel appreciated, loved, and unforgotten." By the way you describe guy 1, it doesn't sound like he will give you what you need.

Imagine if guy A was not such a finacially great prospect. Would you still be seeing him? If not, then you know you're in it for only one thing. Imagine he was the average joe, would you stil be into him?

5 years from now, who can you see yourself with?

Here's another idea: work on making money yourself. Then you can choose any man you like instead of being dependent on one :-)

Laura1318 agony auntNever marry a very rich man or a very beautiful woman . Love is the glue that holds a marriage together. Without love,your marriage will not last.

Money is not everything and cannot guarantee you happiness.
