not for me. my boyfriend loves to take me out all the time and buy me things but i ask him not to. i dont need material objects to be happy. right now we dont live with each other tho so money wont matter. when you're living together and trying to support each other money does matter and its important that hes trying to help pay bills and such as you are.
but if you're just dating and such, it shouldn't matter.

The nice answer . . . no. The true answer . . . yes. You don't need to be rich, but it's a strain on a relationship (specifically a marriage) if there is debt and bills that can not be paid. Debt and financial concerns causes stress, and stress causes arguments, anger, and many other problems. Whether you make the money, or the other person, financial stability (not necessarily wealth) will only help the relationship.

As long as he is making an honest living and doesnt expect the girl to work and he just stay home. Money is what pays the bills so there does need to be an income coming in. Im not talking about millions but enough to get you by.

money ALWAYS matters. You don't have to be a superstar and go crazy on her. But having no job, no car, no money...will not help you find a girlfriend. Girls like to know they will be "taken care of", even if they don't actually expect you to take care of them. A girl paying for dinner...does not make a good impression

For me it goes two ways. 1) if your in a relationship that is going somewhere i.e marriage, or buying a house together I would say money matters, since it takes too. 2) if your young and its not going anywhere or its not serious necessarily then money doesn't matter fun is all that matters :)

You know what??? Most girls r gonna say no but YES. If you're dating, then i guess its not too big of an issue. If you're married then YES it DOES matter. If you're broke how r u gonna pay for food and a house? Bills? Cars? Think about it. We dont need a millionare, we need a man who can take care of things. So to answer ur question, yes.

No
if a girl makes money matter
then that's kind of a sign of high maintenance
but no it should not matter

There's an upside and a downside to this. the good thing, is that no.. it really honestly shouldnt matter about having money. its about spending time with the one you love being with, the one you love to hold and kiss and just be with to take life's worries away. its not about money at all.
but.. the bad thing is, guys... if your girlfriend ha more money than you do, and they have to pay for everything.. it get awkward. no so much for her, but for you. trust me, you'd hate the feeling.
but yeah so it can go both ways [:

Money matters in the sense you have enough money to take care of your own business and i'm not supporting you (and vice versa). But being treated with dinner and jewelry once in doesn't hurt!

Well, it kinda depends on how serious you are trying to get with that person. If you want an actual future with them, it would be beneficial to have at least enough income to take care of yourself, and if you were trying to marry her, to take care of her as well. But as far as extra money goes for whatever....i don't think it matters, love is more precious than diamonds! (in my opinion at least)
