His New Girlfriend Hasn’t Paid For Any Of Their Dates In 3 Months, And He’s Worried That She’s Taking Advantage Of Him
This 35-year-old guy has a new 38-year-old girlfriend that he has been dating for a bit more than 3 months now.
A little backstory on his love life; he was married, and he was with his ex from the time he was 18, so he spent a large part of his life with her.
They got divorced pretty recently, so dating has been a whole new world to him. But anyway, back to his girlfriend.
“On the 1st date, she offered to split the bill,” he explained. “Since then, we have gone out quite a bit, and she has never paid for anything.”
“We have spent many whole weekends together, and I don’t mind paying more than 50%, but she has not offered to pay at all since the first date.”
“At one point, she bought an RV, and for 2 weekends, I did work on it for her while we spent time together and thought it was a bit rude she did at least offer to buy lunch to show appreciation.”
The fact that he worked for 2 entire weekends on helping her fix up her RV, yet she did nothing to show her appreciation, really rubs him the wrong way.
Any time his friends do him a favor, he makes sure to buy them lunch or get them drinks in order to say thank you.
So the RV issue, on top of his girlfriend never offering to pay for their dates, has really made him question things.

He honestly believes this may be a dealbreaker for him and that his girlfriend is trying to take advantage of him.
Although dating is still new to him, his girlfriend has spent the last 2 years dating a lot and definitely isn’t as new to it as he is.
His girlfriend has also mentioned to him that once she went out with a guy who then told her he had no interest in another date because she did not even offer to pay for anything.
“Now I realize I should have brought this up a long time ago, but it feels really awkward now to just ask her to pay for stuff sometimes,” he said.
“Like maybe she buys some fast food lunch, and I pay for dinner at a sit-down place.”
“Any advice on how I can word this without coming across like I am angry or resentful? I’m not the best with phrasing how I feel, and a lot of the times, it comes across as aggressive or like I am upset.”
