Don't pay attention to the naysayers. So many jaded, negative people raining on other's parades.
I have had a long-standing "relationship" with a beautiful young man from SA who does NOT want "payments".
He enjoys my company, nice dinners at restaurants he could not otherwise afford, a weekend get-away, another planned soon. I've offered to help him financially but he refuses. He's a college graduate, works full-time, is level headed with career goals clearly laid out. He prefers feeling like he's making it on his own for the most part and appreciates that I respect him for that.
Enjoy what you've found. Continued success to you!
