Default Re: paying for your girl friend.

back in the day when I dated (married now) I expected to be paid for to..partly cause I never had money (nevermind the details, but I wasn't that stupid with money, just didn't have it)

but also partly cause I was looking for a guy who could handle his money..meaning didn't need me to do it for him, and was capable of saying when enough was ennough on spending...I didn't want a pushover who would put everything on CC just to impress....and I didn't need another chore in my life of keeping track of his money.

on a first date you are prolly gonna pay just cause you are a guy, and the feminist movement may have stopped the old door holding habits, but not the paying for meals ones......

if you are in a semi commited long term thing, than you aught to talk money with her..and see what the deal is..maybe she hasn't any..maybe it never occured to her to pay..maybe she figuresl she is spending her hard earned loot keeping herself looking good for you (makeup ain't free you know) Maybe she just wants to be soiled. Maybe she just likes not having to worry about the money...talk to her about it she will have a better idea than an anounomous person online would
