I am the last person to admit that I am jealous. Mostly that is because I am, as I try to convince people when they inquire in disbelief, very hard to make jealous. I trust men. It comes with sufficient self-confidence which I only acquired in the last 4 years or so. But even before that, I was never the jealous type. Don't ask me why, I like keeping it this way.
But I must admit that I am jealous right now. Jealous because I am not sure what The Banker can possibly want more. I have two theories, though. Indulge me, please:
Theory Numero Uno: He got spoiled by money. Okay, maybe that is not fair to put it this way. He was always spoiled by money. He grew up in Beverly Hills (90210, indeed) and his family is all sort of ridiculously unfathomably wealthy.
And hey, don't mean to throw my own sex under the bus here, but a lot of girls, women.... tend to go for those rich types. Don't get me wrong, The Banker could get a girl if he did not have a penny in his pocket, as far as I'm concerned (those dreamy eyes...), but I am sure those hundred dollar dinners and VIP jet-setting lifestyle can make ANY man slightly more attractive. Like I said, to some women... and don't look at me with a side eye. I have dated so many penny-less stoners and broke artists that I can be absolved of a gold-digging title for as long as I live.
So maybe he's looking for Miss December 2012 to show off to his friends. I very well know men who, no matter how pretty their current girl is, are always on a look out for a fresh face. Chronic bachelors they are, always on a prowl. They never see a good thing when it comes or when it leaves, they only see the next thing.
Theory Numero Dos: His religion. Plain and simple, he is Jewish and I am not. And while it may not be a big deal to me, it could be a bigger deal than I think it is for him.
His mother is Jewish, his father is Jewish, his brothers are Jewish, his cousins are Jewish. I've always been attracted to Jewish men, so I don't care if I have to convert at some point to be with one. But to him? Maybe it's a different story and mom and dad won't approve of him dating a shiksa.
So there you have it. Two theories twirling restlessly about my head, clouding my mind with their nagging whispers. Leave him, stay with him, try harder, seduce him, dump him.
But tonight, jealousy fades into the background and I'll be taking the seduction route. Cooking has always been my forte though I don't do it often. But tonight, I will be cooking a three-course gourmet meal for the Banker and serving it to him in my itty-bitty pretty heels.
Yeah, shoot me in the face. But after all, they say that the surest way to a man's heart is through his stomach, isn't it?

Ah, the jewish thing... i didn't realise that was there. but as long as you would be willing to convert ultimately I don't see any issue.
The religion thing frustrates me anyway. I always see it getting in the way in general as I may be a LAPSED Catholic but I still consider myself catholic and wouldn't change that for anyone because it's what I am. I hate that idea though that not being the RIGHT religion for someone that i'm meant to be with may actually jeopardise a potential relationship. I would never not want to be with someone just because they weren't the same religion as me.
I agree with P above and I think deep down everyone has that belief.
Unfortunately pressures from cultures, parents, families etc force people to conform to the "must marry someone of the same religion".
Then again, doesn't love trump religion?
P and Tom - I agree with both of you, BUT if I HAD to make a choice between not being with the guy and being with him and switching religions, I'd pick the latter.
And I do hope that love trumps religion, 'cause this guys is something else
