Plus, whether you like it or not, money is an inevitable part of dating, from conversations about splitting the bill to deciding how frequently you can afford to go on dates.

25-year-old Jess, who recently came out of a five year relationship, explains that she has taken a cash-candid approach to dating due to her current financial position. “I recently bought my first property on my own and I own my own car – some men my age get overwhelmed by this, which is why I think it’s important to be honest,” she explains. “I don’t care if they earn less than me and I don’t expect them to pay for everything.”

“I don’t need them to disclose what they earn as I understand it’s a personal subject,” Jess continues. “But I’ve been dating someone who is doing a Master’s whereas I’m in full time work, so it’s important to be clear about what is realistic for us to do and how often we can go on dates.”
