My brother is always teasing me. He's two years younger and thinks he's always right. That's how this unusual bet came about. "Single millionaire wanted"

He has always loved gaming on his PlayStation. We've always bet money. Back then it was a few cents, and today it's a few bucks.

So one evening he walked through the door. "Hey sis, why don't you try out for The Bachelor. You just need a guy with cash to go with your luxury clothes." I frowned. It wasn't that bad.

"Do you think a single millionaire is just lying around on the street?". He laughed out loud and said: "Not on the street, but maybe on the internet. I bet you, with your looks, if you go on a site, you'll find a single millionaire. If not, I get $100."

I thought he was totally nuts. A single millionaire on a dating site. But fine. If I win, I get the $100 and the single millionaire. We shook on it!

Single millionaire - Why is nothing happening?

No sooner said than done! I signed up on three different sites and after two months still nothing was happening. The messages piled up, but my focus was on a man with money and not a paper carrier, accountant or bank teller.

I was already thinking about calling it all off and giving my little brother the money. But I still had 4 weeks left!

I went through my ad once more:

Single millionaire
  • I had 3 good photos
  • The profile description fit
  • An appealing text

Could it have been the text?

Single millionaire and the sparks flew!

I showed my brother the text. He nearly died laughing. What do you want with that old chestnut? He works at an advertising agency. In short, he rewrote everything. Much bolder and cheekier. I just thought, you can't be that forward.

Single millionaire

"Do you want to find the needle in the haystack or keep going for the regular mainstream guys without money? I could actually rub my hands together, because the money is already as good as mine. But maybe one day I'll get something out of a single millionaire too." A statement like that was typical of my brother.

I already saw myself paying up and just let him go ahead, and then two weeks later it happened. There he was: Jake. A great guy, and we messaged all night right away. Then we met three days later, and step by step it turned into a relationship. My brother was quite amazed. Because he liked him too. We dropped the whole money thing.

Jake is a hotelier. His father owns 25 hotels and 40 vacation homes across Europe. It's unbelievable. Jake was thrilled by my profile and I was simply the right one for him!
