To spot a gold digger, watch out for someone who asks about what you own, like what you earn or your stock options, early on in your relationship. Additionally, see how they respond when you ask them about their career. For example if they’re happy to stay in a low-level job or not have one at all, they may be looking for someone to fund their lifestyle. If you want to test out your partner, give them an inexpensive but thoughtful gift, like a flower, since they may be a gold digger if they dismiss it. Alternatively, ask them what their idea of romance is, since you may be able to tell they’re a gold digger if they only talk about money or material gifts. Be cautious if your partner often has sudden emergencies that cause them to need money from you, which is a typical excuse used by gold diggers.
