Kevin you are a great guy. You've given us a lot a good advice on our blog.

A very close friend of ours was having the same trouble until they met someone on a Christian singles website who had the same feelings about finances and was actually in the midst of their own debt reduction plan.

When they date they purposely avoid any activities that cost too much ( $2 movies, picnics, etc).

They are now engaged and planning to get married next year!

You can do it buddy.

Good Luck

I didn't realize you could marry into the princess title. You learn something new every day.

I agree with the other posters that there are a lot of things you can do on a date; yet stay on a budget. If your town is having Memorial Day fireworks, perhaps you can invite your online friend to watch it with you. Romantic and free!

Kevin you sound like a nice guy.

I think you should look for someone's company to enjoy--not marriage at first--I think that will scare off many women.

I also think you should look for someone who enjoys doing some of the things you do, that do NOT cost much money.

If you are planning for the long term relationship, you really don't want a woman that wants to be wined and dined, and showered with gifts and expensive things.

You want someone that can enjoy living thriftly--let alone when you put children into the picture.

Can you cook? Make the woman a great meal, light some candles and talk.

Go on a picnic in a park.

Rent a movie and watch it at her place...make some homemade popcorn.

There are lots of sincere things you can do...grow any flowers at your house, cut them, and give them to her.

Being thoughtful is really important, IMO.

Take care and good luck.

First I want to re-itterate, love doesn't know dollar signs. If it does, it isn't love. Some of my best dates were long walks through the forest preserves just holding hands. It is times like these that allow you to fully connect and learn of another. So, basically, I'm saying - stop making excuses.

Second, stop looking for your future wife. Women can smell this on you and sometimes, it causes more fear than joy. Especially, until there is a bond.

What I would suggest is have fun. Smile. Share. Talk. And love. Don't be afraid. What you send out is what you will be blessed with.

You need a face to face with this online gal. The heart is strange, and can't make a full connect unless eyes match the soul. I don't mean that it is beauty. Cause, if it was many of us would never have been married (including me). It is the look of trust, honesty, openness. The eyes will see what the heart doesn't hear.

Hey Congrats! You're a big time TV star now! I should have gotten that book autographed (great book BTW).

Romance has little to do with money. Sure money makes it easier, but in reality, it isn't needed. Good luck in your quest. And any woman that doesn't respect and understand your goal to be debt free, and accept its importance, you probably don't want around anyway.
