writes:So for the past few weeks I have been talking to this extremely good looking guy in my sociology class. The other day I missed class to study for my criminal justice test and the following class he asked me why I was away. I told him the reason, he then asked me who my prof was and I said " oh she is really good, her name is _____ _____(i wont say it for privacy)." He then told me that my prof is his mom! what are the chances! So my question is can two people of different social classes date? His mom is a university prof and his dad is a lawyer, while my family is lower.

But I can't say there are no wealthy doctor-lawyer couples,who does not care if your parents are working at walmart,or living on welfare..
I think my daughter definitely experienced this kind of discrimination, yet she was going to private school very prestigious one, yet she was the poor kid in there, because she didn't have his dad/s credit card with her..I think if the person who you date is from a liberated family, its ok or he himself is like that, otherwise its a not pleasant experience!

Sorry.. I tell it like I see.. I'm not here to make you feel nice.. I'm here to sort your problem out.. You have an idea of two worlds.. one where the rich live, and one where the poor live.. what happened to treating people like human beings, and judging people by the way they treat you. Your worried about things that haven't happened yet, and making assumptions of this guy and his family, that you would be horrified of they made of you..
But if the others have helped.. I'm glad for you.. next time I'll take your advice and say nice things and ignore what I think.. Bottom line, the guy and his family sound nice, give him a break, and lower your self to maybe considering them in your life.

Sorry babes, but your being a snob, (rich people aint for me) and judging him harshly.. why shouldn't he be nice, kind and normal. Having rich parents and going to private school dosen't mean he's not nice to know.. If he asks, and you like him, date him, you'll find out that everything works out alright.

 This is unnecessary to worry about unless it becomes an issue, and if it turns out to be an issue with him, then you shouldn't want any more to do with him, because he's shallow.

Nora_Bird is verified as being by the original poster of the questionHey thanks guys. I dont really care about social class, if you like some one, you like them regardless! But anyways, its hard for me to explain the situation. For example, he went to the only private boys school in the city, while i went to public school. Thats not to say I am any less intelligent or educated, but the boys who attend that private school are notoriously exclusive with who they date and stuff, and being an alumni is prestigious. As I said, I dont care about what class he's in, but I wonder if he cares. Perhaps im just a bit insecure or something, but i've never really had feelings for someone like this.
Thanks for the opinions! they really help!

 You're a woman, so the answer is yes: the guy won't usually care whether you're poorer or not. If you're hot, that's enough. Some guys with a crust DO care and could play with you but never entertain a serious idea. I don't think that is the case here, however.
If he's good, go for him.

 It doesn't mattter your "social class" infact who cares what class you guys are in anyways? really? if you guys like eachother and see a potential of starting something fruitful, then go for it. social class is just society's way of creating boundries for the weak minded. my advise is that if he's making a move on you and you like it, then give him a chance..
