Question

How can you tell if someone like you for you who are vs what you have?

Answer 1

Well, one very good way, is to not display everything out in front of people or talk about what materialistic objects you own.  In fact, money should not be mentioned.  One time I spoke with a guy from the internet who was very wealthy, and during the whole conversation he talked about how many homes he owned in different states, how many cars, etc.. etc....  And at the end he said, "I just want to find a woman who wants to be with me for me, not what I own."  Well, gees....  stop telling everyone how much you are worth!  I can understand this is one way to show people how successful you are in your career, but in this world of greedy people, I would work at other ways to display who I am.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, you never can really tell if a person honestly likes you for you or the things you have or any other superficial means- simply because each person is different and no one is a mind reader.

My best advice is to be straight-forward and ask that person directly (Would you still like me if...?) and base your analysis on the first few seconds of that answer or in how much time he answers. If he comes off as too convincing or hesitant - be skeptical. If he gives you a straightforward answer, with eye contact and no fidgeting - whatever she/he says, I would assume he is telling the truth.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Hmm, good question...

Well, tell them "no" one time when they want something and if their your true friend they will understand and be ok with it, but if their not your true friend they will act like their dumping you and just leave.

Also, if they weren't your true friend then they would be 2-faced when you weren't around.
