Is She Working You… Or Just Your Wallet?

Hey, it’s time we had a heart-to-heart. You know, the kind of conversation your best buddy pulls you aside for when he sees you’re about to dive headfirst into shark-infested waters… without a cage.

So, here’s the million-dollar question: Is she into you, or is she just cozying up to your wallet?

Now, I’m not saying romance is dead. Far from it. Love, lust, and everything in between makes the world spin ‘round. But let’s not kid ourselves. Sometimes, the lines get blurred. Sometimes, Cupid’s arrow looks suspiciously like a gold-digger’s shovel.

First, the wallet check.

You’ve seen it, right? Every date is a production. The fanciest restaurants, the priciest wines, and “Oh, darling, isn’t that the cutest little boutique?” It’s all about spending — your spending. Your credit cards start trembling whenever she comes near. If your bank account could talk, it would be screaming for mercy.

And gifts? “It’s just a little something,” she says, batting those eyelashes while pointing at the most expensive thing in the store. Little something, my foot. You’re bleeding green, my friend.

Now, the heart check.

Does she know you? The real you? Not your job title, not your income bracket, but YOU. Your dreams, your fears, the weird way you laugh when you’re genuinely amused. Does she care about what makes you tick, or is she more interested in what ticks in your Rolex?

See, when someone’s working your heart, it’s a different ball game. It’s coffee at a place that knows your name, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s “our spot.” It’s conversations that last until 3 AM, where you share more than just body warmth. It’s about feeling like you’ve won the lottery just by receiving a text from her saying, “Thinking of you.”

The gut check.

Here’s where it gets real. Deep down, in that place you don’t talk about at parties, you know. You know whether she’s lighting up your life or just lighting up your AmEx.

Love’s not a transaction. It’s not measured in receipts, but in moments. In laughter. In those quiet times when nothing needs to be said because everything’s already understood.

So, ask yourself: Is she working you, or is she genuinely with you?

If it’s your wallet she’s after, well, wallets can be replenished. But a heart played for a fool? That’s a bit harder to mend.

Remember, the right one will want your time, not your dime. Your heart, not your chart. So, keep that wallet in your pocket and your eyes wide open. Love’s out there, but sometimes, you need to navigate through a minefield to find it.

Stay sharp.
