Imagine being on a date and the person asks you not about your hobbies, but what your credit score is? According to The New York Times, this question is popping up more and more in the dating scene. One of the subjects interviewed for the article said a date once told her she was “the perfect girl for him, but that a low credit score was his deal-breaker.”
