Second Date Update: Just when we think we have heard it all we get a guy like Brett on the phone with us. His definition of being upfront is giving his date the minimum salary for dating him. His reason for doing this is that he has a "lifestyle" that he wants to live. Obviously this shocked us as much as it shocked his date Kristina. In addition to this he made sure to mention that he brings a lot more than this dollar amount to the table.

After meeting on a dating app Brett invited Kristina to go out to grab dinner at Rock & Brew in Lutz, Fl. His description about their date was that they were compatible and were each other's type. Their date ended with a kiss on the cheek at Kristina's car which is always a good sign. Right? However Kristina disclosed a very blunt requirement that Brett has for his relationships. That requirement is a minimum salary for dating him.
