7 Sure Signs You Are Dating A Gold Digger
By: Kratika Fri, 17 Sept 2021 3:28:57
She’s young, charismatic, attractive, and oh-so-into-you. You can’t believe you landed such a great catch as she.
Or so you think, because that woman you’re sipping Moet with like it’s just sparkling water, that woman who brushes up ever closer to you whenever you’re in the jewelry store, that woman who makes it a point you buy her Birkins in all her favorite colors well, she’s a gold digger.
A gold digger is a very cunning and curious species. It comes in all forms, both male and female. They typically latch on to someone unsuspecting, someone like you. They will stick with you, much like a leech, because you can provide generous gifts, fancy dates, and vacations that they can never otherwise have *read: afford* on their own. They often have an entitled attitude that you need to take care of them in the sense that you have to be there for their needs and wants.
# Her questions from the get-go
From the very beginning of your first date, one of the first, if not the very first, questions she’ll ask is, “what’s your job?” She is more interested about what you do for a living instead of what you do on your free time.
It’s like she’s profiling you and computing in her head how much you make in a year. It’s normal to want to know about what you do in and outside of work, but if she is just into how much money you earn and your job title, then you’ve got yourself a probable gold-digger, my friend.
# Show me the money
Aside from your career and your income, she is also interested in your bank account. Later on as you continue to date, that is if you are still so enamored with her that you brushed off the early warning sign, you will realize just how keen she is at math.
She can calculate in her head just how much you spend and how much savings you have, as well as if you have investments or a trust fund. She would always be all ears when it comes to you making money or closing a deal.
# Her air of privilege
As you are starting to get to know her, she would tell you about how she knows this person or that person, or how she goes on vacation to these private islands, went to this school, lived in this place. She will talk about all her designer clothes and the cars she drives, how she likes these designers and these furniture—which are ALL high end. Whether all of these are true or not, think of it as setting you up to the idea that she is used to a certain lifestyle and she expects this to continue while she’s dating you.
# Ogling you
Her eyes are all over you. Or, more specifically, all over your watch, your suit, your wallet, your shoes, and your car. After all, she probably has spotted you and flirted with you just because she saw your shining Rolex right from the other end of the room. To her, you’re a knight in shining armor because all she sees is your bling.
# Too much, too soon
You find yourself spending a hundred more dollars on your first few dates compared to your other dates in the past. In fact, when you calculate the whole time you have been dating, which is just a few months, it shows that she has cost you the total amount you have spent in your last relationship, which lasted a total of three years.
It would seem like you are buying her affection, which is actually what is happening because she’s extra sweet to you every time you give her another Cartier bracelet.
# Babysitting
Dating a gold-digger is like dating a child. She doesn’t bring any money and she expects you to do everything for her. Her only difference from a child is that at least, a child will be very fascinated about the simplest things, which are usually things that don’t cost much.
However, a gold-digger would hint that she would love to eat in that new fine dining restaurant, have that afternoon at the spa while waiting for you, or simply just have you take out your wallet for her every whim. And through all that, she would never offer to pay for anything.
# Keeping up with the Joneses
Or the Kardashians. She wants to be in the hippest places, wearing the hippest clothes and jewelry. She wants to look like the models in the magazines and have the luxurious lifestyles of the socialites. You may still be fine with this, but you have to be aware that she may just want to look glamorous and be in the right places just so she can catch someone who is far richer than you!
