Earlier quoted context omitted.

The unpleasant subtext here being that you're basically saying your girlfriend's love and commitment are dependant on receiving an expensive trinket. At least that's unpleasant to me.

no - it is just a sign... a nice one

If it's just a nice trinket that has sentimental value then it's most certainly not an "investment in life, future and love."

one week on a dating site cost $1000?

Yeah, there’s this dating site that charges $1000 memberships, but all the people are super attractive, wealthy, and looking to get married. Actually with sales tax it’s a little over $1000, but close enough. It’s super selective, though, and I signed an NDA so I can’t reveal the URL or the name of it. You’ll just have to take my word on it.

So is there love or is it primarily an arrangement (which I have actually no problem with) ?

Probably my iPhone SE. Bitcoin made me richer, but I didn't get on early enough for it to have made any real difference, where as the smartphone changed my life. That or my cat.

What breed ? Why consider it a good investment when you could have one for free ?
