I'd like to make a statement about your goals in life and whether being able to afford a richer life matters to one more than being with a person they can be deeply, intimately in love with, but I'm not nearly qualified to try. Romantics and pragmatists, is what I'm going to say.
Aye but also depends on whether you're actively searching for someone or not, in which case you're probably more likely to have "demands" than if you happen to develop mutual feelings with someone who is already part of your life somehow. So naturally it depends on the person, and for many the stage they're at in their life (people often talk about women who really want kids - it's time sensitive, so you'd better find someone and get hitched).
Europeans talk about this a lot, it seems to be something that is comparatively rare in American culture, or if it's present here, it's not discussed in the same terms.if you happen to develop mutual feelings with someone who is already part of your life somehow.
That's a good point. The whole idea of "dating" is becoming more common here but it's very much seen as an American invention.
Sure, sure. The classification I gave is but one among many dimensions human beings possess in the social structure.
