‘Am I going on a date or a job interview?’: SG man stunned by woman’s financial questions
The date apparently came with a financial background check. This article ( ‘Am I going on a date or a job interview?’: SG man stunned by woman’s financial questions ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
A Singaporean man shared his experience on the r/asksg forum about a first date that felt more like a job interview. The woman he went on the date with bombarded him with questions about his finances, including his credit report, income slips, and CPF savings. Stunned by the line of questioning, he joked, "Am I going on a date or a job interview?
Lol." The post resonated with many Singaporean men who shared similar stories. Some users defended the woman, arguing that discussing financial matters is important in a serious relationship, but others cautioned against asking such probing questions too early in the dating process. Experts suggest paying attention to a person's lifestyle and habits rather than directly asking about finances on a first date.
