A single mum has said she has given her daughter a better life – by dating strangers for cash.
Kelly Popilek has earned around £10,000 in the past two years, all of which has gone towards 10-year-old Ariana’s eduction, clothes and bills.
Kelly, 37, has dated countless men in that time, with clients paying for her company at the dinner table.
The mum, from California, now hopes to inspire others to do the same.
She wants to make it clear that just because she dates for cash that she’s not a ‘gold digger.’
The single mum – who has used the website WhatsYourPrice for two years – has since earned £10,000 from dating strangers and she has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Kelly, who runs a real estate business, said: "I use the money from date to pay for bills, clothes, food, school supplies and everyday things for my daughter.
"I’ve earnt around $13,000 from dating the men I’ve met online as it has led to business partnerships too.
"It has given me and Ariana a great lifestyle and I would recommend it to anyone.
"I’m not a gold digger though, I’m only dating these men to make my life better not because I want a relationship."
Kelly has gone on every type of date from a formal dinner date to a karaoke bar and charges no lower than £100 for her time.
She said: "If I see a profile I’m interested in on WhatsYourPrice I will send a fee.
"I’ve attended all sorts of dates, one time I went to a karaoke bar with a guy who actually paid my friend to accompany us as well.
"I have recommended it to a lot of my friends even though I know this lifestyle isn’t for everyone."
Kelly dates strangers at least once per week but claims she is picky with her dates.
She said: "I will only date someone if we have things in common as there’s no point not having anything to talk to.
"They have to understand that my time is valuable and that I won’t accept any lower than $150 for two hours of my time.
"I always ensure we meet in a public bar or restaurant and will tell my friends where I am at all times."
Kelly is adamant to continue dating strangers and feels it has made her a better mum.
She said: "I’m able to afford things now that I won’t have been able to.
"We don’t need anyone else’s support to ensure we can lead the best lives possible.
"Ariana now has all the school supplies and clothes she needs and it’s all because I’m able to date strangers for extra cash.
"The best thing about WhatsYourPrice is that it works for busy people. It eliminates the time consuming struggle and pressure of finding the right someone to go on a date with.
"I have been very happy with the arrangements that have come from the website, I have nothing negative to say. I’m sure the site isn’t for everyone but, I will definitely continue to use the site.
"I have recommended it to a few other mums and I can only hope that they use it as an opportunity to better themselves like I have."
