    I know a guy who used to be in this situation. He’d spent all his money and even loan money to take his dates to weekend getaways. He’d come around my place on Tuesdays to Thursdays to bum food, because he couldn’t afford it.

    It eventually resulted in a marriage, a child, a house, a divorce, joint custody, depression and single life in the 50s.

    I’m not going to preach. This is the circle of life. Starts with a lie, dies alone. What more could you want.

    Point is: Everyone is trying to impress their potential partner. Nobody wants to marry the slob on the coach that we all really are.

    While I think that taking a loan to get piece of metal is a stupid idea, I can’t really see any reason to blame someone for taking the opportunity if it makes a difference to them.
