First third of column:

Dear Miss Manners,
I have been dating a man for about five months and we get along
extremely well and are very fond of one another; in fact I think I'm
quite in love. The problem is about a question he recently asked me
that I feel was done so rudely and inappropriately. He asked me what
my net worth was.

While I am aware that financial considerations are part of what
contributes to a successful or unsuccessful relationship, I was,
understandably, stunned by the bluntness of this question! I think I
got out of it gracefully by joking that I would have to have my
accountant get back to him......


(I think you'll like MM's answer.)

Lenona.
