How Much Would It Take?

I was watching an episode of my guilty pleasure TV show recently - Beverly Hills 90210. Go ahead and laugh and before you ask, no I don't masturbate to Tori Spelling. Anyway, on the show Donna's mom offered a guy Donna was dating $10,000 to drop out of her life. This guy Ray (Jamie Walters) didn't take the money, he was just so in love he could not be bought. The thing is, Ray and Donna had only been going out a few weeks, so how in love could they really have been at that point? So that got me thinking, how much would it take?

I am thinking if someone offered me ten large to stop seeing some girl I had only been dating a few weeks I would probably do a Steve Miller Band - "Take The Money and Run". Sure, I might be missing out on the love of my life, but I would have a whole bunch of dead presidents to keep me company. You can call me a sellout or a man-whore or say I am not romantic if you want but I bet you have a price too.

Offhand I am not particularly worried that I will actually have to test out this theory. One thing at a time, a 3rd date would be a nice change of pace at this point.
