Never thought that if someone offers to move in with you, He/she might want to do it just to save on rent. I guess it’s a new perspective too look at things.

Oh man, I wrote a post here and it didn’t go through

Well, the bottom line was that it’s an individual thing how one feels and deals with it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that dating is the problem with dating. I should say, the pressures and rules. I wrote about it here:

Back in February, I touch on this topic about who pays for the date:

When it comes to muchers, I think each person should have their own guidelines. One woman told me some years back, that if she broke up with her husband (she thought he was being somewhat cheap at the time), that she would have missed being with the love of her life. They were married 40+ years at the time

Some can deal better with things than others. Yeah, I think it’s an individual thing.

At the beginning of my relationship, I used to feel obligated to pay for everything. I put that pressure on myself. I still take care of the bill most of the time we got out, but I think the key is communicating. Now I can be honest if I don't have it on that day, that's just what it is. I don't feel like I'm not handling business because it's really about a partnership. mr. nichols’s last blog post..Day 58: Like A Box Of Chocolates

My husband is thrifty but always paid for dates while we were dating. Now we both pay and it doesn't matter because we share our money. freespirit76’s last blog post..Click to Empower Campaign

Well you know how I feel about wedding budgets...lol. That being said, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to dating. I think women should offer to pay or split, but ultimately, the responsibility falls on the man's shoulders. When I was dating, I always offered to split the bill, but if a man paid for the whole thing, I took note. Just sayin'...it says a lot about a man who picks up the bill, lights your cigarette (if you smoke), opens the door for you and picks you up instead of meeting you there.

Hello, Thanks a lot for the articles. I do not understand why some women fall for a guy without any perspectives and everyone can see they need a place only. E-Magazine’s last blog post..What to sell on eBay

I couldn’t be with a guy who spends money like water and is always strapped for cash and crashing at your place. If I’m with a guy, he has to be as frugal as I am, and things have to be split equally. But of course, if he has more money than me and wants to pay for everything, then I let him! I’m a major cheapskate.

Freeloaders come with a lot of baggage, and not just financial. It should be a red flag for every woman. askcherlock’s last blog post..Diagnosing Health Care Reform

Wow, MTV is certainly successful with finding the biggest losers I can imagine. If I were her, I would excuse myself to the bathroom and leave him in the restaurant with the bill (especially since he picked the restaurant). Anne’s last blog post..Is There Something Wrong With Me?
