If the girl you love comes from a "more blessed" financial background and family than your family? She's "fortunate" but very down to earth and even more humble than others.
Does a girl's financial background intimidate you?

Not really her as much as having to "measure" up to daddy and the life he has already provided. Some men will always put down their daughter's guy for not being good enough like him.
Not really intimdated as much as embarrassed of being looked at as poor.

Its only intimidating when the lesser is dating the blessed one and they feel they could never give the blessed one what they are used to should the relationship progress. For example.....if an average guy is dating a fortunate gal. If the relationship becomes serious and theres a good possibility for a future, its intimidating to the guy because the gals used to the finer things in life and he could only give her the necessities. It would be very stressful for him.
As for me, I wouldnt be intimidated by it but I suppose it would be an issue that the two of you will need to discuss if the relationship is serious. If she is willing to give all that up and just live an average life, then dont worry about it. She loves you for you and not for what you can give her. If she is down to earth like u say, I would bet that she would rather be happy and average than unhappy and wealthy.
But, lets not forget.......girls tend to be daddys girls. My guess is that if she honestly wanted something.....daddy would make sure she had it anyway.
It can work, but you have to be willing to allow her family to give to her when they want. You cant feel threatened or guilty for not being able to provide what she wants.
I am pullin for ya bud. Just be proud that you have a job and you make an honest living. Everything else will fall into place. It may not be what shes used to, but if she truly loves you like u love her, it wont make a difference.
Good luck.

This may intimidate a few guys but, i do surveys and most men love woman with a strong background. They also love girls that are down to earth. To me it looks like you are on a good role. Keep doing what you are doing and be yourself in front of any guys.

Hi
I believe you are asking this question to men.. With all due respect.. there are few men.. not all of them.. feel insecure, or lesser or intimidated by things some young women or young ladies. It should not matter if you love someone and you are sincere in how you feel about her. Her parents success is nothing to do with her attitude and her love to you. she loves you and accepts you who you are.. If you make her happy, and smile on her face.. who cares what she drives.. think about this.. you must be lucky man to gain her love and respect and attention.. you must be great guy... good luck..
ps: if you suprise with a hand written few lines notes, or one carnation.. not dozen red roses.. no expensive gifts. but, honest, caring small things, gestures.. will open many, doors for you..

I suppose it depends on how much "more blessed" they are. If she's just the 'rich girl' in school who lives in the big house with a pool and a vacation home at the beach/mountains, no. If the girl is a Kennedy and has paparazzi following her around, yes.

i am a weeny bit well off than my husband back when we were dating (my daddy funded me through uni), he did feel intimidated of some sort at first. i think its the male ego thing. he HAD to pay for the dinner, soda and EVERYTHING else. its fine by me at first but things get annoying after some time we decided to go dutch. sounds cheap but it worked for us. but now after we're married he toned down and now we share...
i think u should talk to him and tell him that money is nothing compared to your feelings towards him and find a solution that will make both sides happy

No, as long as she doesn't not use her "more blessed" financial background to degrade her love or to use it as a means to coerce the guy to do things for her.

JDude has said basically what I have seen happen...I had some guy friends who dated girls in H.S.--both went to college, but the girls got a killer job(s) and the guys didn't--now the guy's don't measure up and the parents now pressure the girls to 'dump the looser who only wants you for your money','he's not good enough for you'....
