You could just ask him why he wants to know. When I am dating someone a major factor in my interest in that person is how they respect their money. But I don't think I would be asking personal questions until we were close enough to do that.

Tell him that you'd rather not discuss finances with him right now. Also, keep an eye out on him asking you this question quite a bit. He's asking this question for a reason.

My fiance and I didn't start talking about finances until we were engaged. It is none of your guys business. If he keeps pestering you tell him that you have a handle on everything and to stop asking. If he keeps prying after you have told him that it bothers you then tell him that this isn't working out and you want to take a break.

Either he's trying to find out if your financially stable or he's trying to see if you have enough money to support him...either way, sound slike an a**. Tell him to mind his own business when it comes to money and tell him that IF the time comes that your finances become his business, you will discuss it with him then!!

Maybe you would like to use reverse psychology on him... Everytime he asks you a question about your finances, you ask him a question as well.. also, even if he does not, ask him a question.. If he still does not stop, tell him straight that you dun like to talk about your finances.. If he respects you, he will stop... If not, you might wanna reconsider your relationship...

Next time he brings it up, kindly reply: "Why do you ask?"
This will put HIM in a rough spot.
And if he comes back w/ something else & insists, tell him that you would rather not discuss those issues at this point in your relationship...
Be nice, but stern. Until he pays your bills, he should not be worried about your financial being.

Depends on why he's asking. If he's broke and he is fishing for info get rid of him asap. If he is well off maybe he is trying to help you out. If so tell him and let him help. If you don't need or want help...just let him know your finances are personal... good luck!

Tell him that your finances are something you consider PRIVATE. Any reasonably good guy would back off and respect your boundaries. If he doesn't, he's looking for a sugar mama and you should dump him.

I would be very concerned about someone who was asking about finances. It's none of his business, and you need to hold firm on this. How long have you known this guy?

Just tell him the truth. Tell him " Im not comfortable discussing my finances with anyone." Its better to b straight forward with such nosey people.
