What If....

What if you meet a guy and you kind of click with him?
What if you think he's cute?
What if you think he's caring?
What if you think he has a great personality?

WHAT IF he wants you to go dutch on every date?

He hasn't paid for anything for me. Not even a drink. He's not asking me to pay for him, mind you. He doesn't make a ton of money. But I remember that Sex and The City where Steve took Miranda out for a slice of pizza because that's what he could afford. Be HE paid.....for the BOTH of them.

Do I let something like this stand in the way of getting to know a (from what I can tell) good guy?

I'm just not sure.

Date Me

  1. Guh. This is a weird one. Of course you keep going. But..maybe he doesn't want to impose on you? Like, maybe he thinks he's not supposed to? Maybe he's really broke? You never know what it is, so just keep going (maybe you offer to pay for a date? What happens then?)

  2. He said he'd never make a girl pay for the date (his portion) nor does he consider himself cheap. This came out with me trying to dig a little bit after the bill was paid. I know he doesn't make a lot of money BUT today he signed up for a gym membership so he has to have some cash to at least pay for a drink for me....or coffee. Maybe it's just a rule of his? Again....he seems to be a really well meaning guy. I'm quite perplexed.

  3. That is a conundrum. Sometimes it's the little nice things that are done for each other that create a lasting relationship. Has he done something else not related paying for a date that you would consider a gesture of generosity?

    I understand him saying he wouldn't make a woman pay for his meal but would he allow it? Just to get that flow of give and take going?

  4. This one is no more. Couldn't really wrap my mind around someone who supposedly liked me but never would spend a dollar on me. Took awhile....but I figured it out.
