Hi, I'm a 36 year-old business woman, who is also considered to be "on the fast-track" within my current Fortune 500 position. In any case, I have a crush on a 40-year old guy in my home town, but he happens to earn a living at odd jobs, thus not having any steady employment. So can this only be a brief interlude because of that issue, or can anything romantic possibly come out of it, that might be serious and possibly even long-term? Thanks, Emily

If money is an issue then best not get involved with the man at all. this of course unless he agrees as well that this is nothing more than a fling then with no hearts ar risk I say have some fun.
Though you may find in the future that if your always looking at the size of the wallet you may end up with a very small heart.

Dear Emily: after reading your concerns about being on the fast track, versus having a potential partner with a much more down-to-earth life style – one might say that unless you ascribe to the idea that a man must earn more than a woman does, there may not be an issue here.

On the other hand, one could also say that having odd jobs is not a sign of great ambition in a person – unless he happens to be in an apprentice carpentry program or something similar to that, where he will excel at some point in the future. However, if he's an intelligent and decent human being, and you can share ideas easily with him, the situation is certainly worth exploring before you jump to any conclusions.

You must know yourself well enough to determine if you are flexible about alternative life styles – being that certain things are deal breakers for all of us. However, if you could give these ideas some thought, and then write in again, that might help us get a better sense as to whether you’d be able to give this a fair chance – which both of you deserve! I look forward to hearing from you! -Kate
