We got along great despite the very obvious economic distances between us. He's definitely in the higher end of society and I am middle class at best and I don't have very much aspirations for more. I am not a gold digger," she replied adamantly. She really wanted to point that out.

He wants certain things and I think I was available and I want those things too but there is certainly not a way I'm going to get them." It sounded horrible and she knew that but she really wanted to tell someone the truth.
