dating a guy who's making seven times my salary, but he still asked me to split at most of the dates. Not that I want all of his money or what, but I think it's a gesture for him to pay a bit more than me if he's interested in me??

Call me old fashion but a date is a date and I would never suggest splitting even if I made less

How serious are you two? If you’re newly dating or dating casually, I think it’s reasonable to split. He doesn’t have obligation or responsibility to you or to take care of you. I think it’s unfair to expect it regardless of his income. If he does, awesome. If he doesn’t, fair. On the flip side, being a high earner, maybe he also wants to play it safe and ensure you’re not only dating him for his money and that if you were interested in him, you’d be okay splitting.

You two are hanging out. If he was actually into you he wouldn’t be doing this.

How did you go come to this conclusion? Plenty of guys split early dates with women they're interested in

I think it depends. Is he making reservations at 5 star restaurants and other things that are higher than you normally would be comfortable paying for? If so I think he should offer to cover or you could mention that you would rather go somewhere more affordable. Otherwise normally I say it’s not uncommon to split early on regardless of income differences. I can understand if he’s looking for something serious using this as a way to weed out those who may be more interested in his money than him as a person.

I think it really depends on the man. I’ve dated a few that made less and more than myself. Sometimes we split or traded on dates. I dated two men who covered every date no matter where we went each date was in their budget. Even if they asked c where I wanted to go, I’d respond wherever you want to go within your budget. Needless to say any man who couldn’t afford any dates, I would find less expensive or free activities.

You determine how you want date. Maybe he wants to see where it goes before he invests any money. Take it slow, don’t let him waste your time, and have fun.💃🌮🥗🥂🍾🍷🍸

How much do you make?

3yrs dating and known one another 16 and we still split dinners. It'd however you want to.make the relationship. She earns more than me but had more debt with school so it's again however you want and make life work for yall

I’m a big fan of splitting expenses on a percentage of net income basis. While it can be tricky to start because of our cultural taboos around money and personal value, this has really helped me when I’m in relationships with big income disparities. If Sarah and Jane are dating and Sarah makes X while Jane makes Y then Sara pays X/(X+Y)% and Jane pays Y/(X+Y)%.

I agree, op is a red flag

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.
