Like lovers the world over, a couple we'll call Kyle and Melissa were spending a lazy Saturday browsing local shops for something special for her. Very special, judging by the venue -- Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

"Oh, look at the diamonds," Melissa cooed, eyeing a pair of stiletto pumps through the windows of the Jimmy Choo boutique. Kyle understood that meant they needed to go inside.

"This one is $1,450," said a store employee as he handed Melissa a handbag.

"OK, and this one is 15 [hundred]?" she asked, pointing to another bag. "It's so cute!"

She turned to Kyle. "It's like twice as much as we wanted to spend."

Fortunately, Melissa knew that her unambiguous taste for luxury was matched by Kyle's generosity.

Instead of the handbag, Melissa settled on a pair of $600 shoes. "I love them," she said. "I could kiss them."

"I think I'm sold," she finally said. "What do you think?"

"I'm sold," Kyle agreed.

It was only their third date, but Kyle had already spent almost $10,000 wooing Melissa (that day's haul included a ring and a bracelet from Tiffany & Co.). His unusual generosity had a simple explanation. In fact, it was a crucial step in their courtship.
