The offer is sweet, but it is unfair to ask him to do it every time just because he is a boy and you are not. <br /><br />You could agree, offering to pony up next time, or (if you think there will be no next time) go Dutch to keep a clean conscience.<br /><br />Not to contradict myself, but I like when a date goes Dutch. I think it means she wants to see me again. <br /><br />Why? Because that's what you would do with friends, and hopefully, your date is to be your friend.<br /><br />If he's not a potential friend but a potential fuckmate, that equation holds up. <br /><br />If you let him pay for drinks, and then fuck him, you are essentially a cheap whore. <br /><br />But, if you reciprocate next time, then he is a cheap whore. Then, everyone is happy. <br /><br />Mind you, if he can afford what you can not--if, for example, he invites you to a restaurant he can easily afford but would break your bank--then rest easy. Let him enjoy the pleasure of your company and pick up the tab in gratitude. <br /><br />Fuck him for the joy of it, if there is joy, but not for the price of admission. <br /><br />Because, honey? If you are giving it up for cash, you can get a whole lot more.Jeffersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01133275691982057440noreply@blogger.com
